As Ana said, a bit mysterious because of the fog. That tree is weird, so many twigs and so little foliage. Nice compo and atmosphere... could be taken for a horror movie!

How on earth did you do that? this is such a beautiful photograph.

@lisa v: thanks Lisa! It's the fog and the way it layers light, or lack of light...plus I increased the contrast a bit in post processing.

Great atmosphere. I was watching the old horror classic Black Sunday last night (aka Mask of Satan, by Mario Bava), and this shot would fit right in.

Those mysterious curved branches are wonderful and the perspective also . amazing shot bluechamelon ! you should have had an amazing feeling seeing such huge trees in the mist .

@payam: Thanks so much! Yes, I am lucky during the autumn and winter months when the fog rolls in. It gives my surrounding an entirely different feel.
payam from tehran, Iran
what do you think about cropping the upper part of the photo and just keeping the bare branches of the main tree ?

I like this kind of misty images, especially with trees. You captured impressing mood :)

Verrrry creepy. I like the lines and how on this one they kind of emanate from the center of the frame.

Shrouded in mystery! I love the lack of detail that forces me to look at and evaluate the form of the trees. I love the way you have allowed the shadows to fall super dark.

@Tracey: Thanks so much Tracey. I have always felt that the fog brings out the details that one normally cannot see. I'm glad you like this :)
@krusaf: merci!

A very creative take! It gives me a very swimmy feeling.

@Damon Schreiber: Thank you Damon!
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
Damon said it. Very creative. I love the dark mistiness with a kind of hopeful glow.

@Michael Rawluk: Thanks so much! It's the fog, it creates the best moods for what I like to shoot :)

I don't see this one as spooky... It's introspective to me. Excellent!!
