Ok. I know this won't score well and I have a "safe" photo which I know can easily score above 6.0, but this time I decided to go "bold" and submit what I like without caring about scores.

This is taken at one of the sacred locations in Himalayas and the mist/fog is due to hot water springs. I did not get much time to process but did this simple processing -

-Some gaussian blur at background
-Levels and Hue-Saturation adjustment
-Crop
-Saved for web
-Neatimage with sharpening

I love the foggy feel to this picture! It feel like it came out of Myst (if you remember that game)

ITs probably just me, but this looks a little out of place? It seems you've blured the surroundings of the tower, but not the background visible inside the tower? interesting method, hope you do well!

I like this. Mistiness really adds a nice element. My fav in the challenge so far.
