 Early morning on the shores of Derwentwater, in the UK's Lake District

Bit of this and a bit of that on top and below.

Just to clarify, the fog is not fabricated, it was a foggy morning. The overlay enhances it for sure, but it was there in the original :)

Here's the original

That is absolutely stunning! I love how the overlay really calls up the fog and hush of the woods. The overlay and the B&W tones really emphasize the feel of the serene hush and beauty of the woods in the early morning hours. It is magical and breathlessly beautiful now! This just makes me want to re-read the Forest Lover by Vreeland for I imagine this is exactly the moments that the artist Emily Carr got to see when she was exploring the Pacific Northwest.

**O.K. now I am going to have to try this on an old image of a foggy day I managed to capture at a local park but was never happy with.

Aahhh, yes, a perfect place to settle down with a good horror novel and a flashlight! Love it!

Great mood. I love trees in the fog. (Even if the fog is hand-made from textures!)

You are good. Lovely play with the light, the mono works extremely well.

Wow! I love this. Doesn't make me run into it but this is what I'm trying to achieve with all my pictures of forests. So beautiful and scary!
Brr, just read the comment about the headless horseman, no way I'm going in there :).

Fabulous. You should get depressed more often.

OOOH!!! I love it. It almost looks like a tintype. I have such an affinity for leaves and trees that this just makes me want to run into that forest!!

Go for it Ursula! I'm pretty sure yours will knock socks off anything I could come up with :)

This is beautiful. This gets me thinking about the possibility for another picture, where you have a top part of trees like you have here, maybe even darker and more gloomy/dreadful, and a similar size bottom part with roots, a sort of "reflection" of what's up in the air, but underground. I'm going to try something like that. Gotta get myself a good gloomy picture of trees, which shouldn't be hard this time of year ...

:)

Added: I hope you don't mind me taking your idea and extending it for a picture for myself.

Nice. Evocative. I'm looking among the trees for a ghost or a headless horseman.
