Last Thursday (December 13th)we had a thick fog all day. I took this in my backyard, it really isn't a gloomy place usually. I added a bit of black fog and contrast to enhance the gloomy atmosphere. It's a bit different from what I usually do but I hope you'll like it!

Another instant fav! This is a romance of beauty and despair. You did a great job stepping out of your usual atmosphere. Being brave has its rewards.. Thanks for sharring.

The notion that the public accepts or rejects anything in modern art is merely romantic fiction. The game is completed and the trophies distributed long before the public knows what has happened. -Thomas Wolfe

C'est "sleepy hollow" ! On s'attend à voir apparaître le cavalier sans tête ;-)

L'arbre de premier plan contraste bien avec l'arrière plan. Sa branche de droite semble protéger l'arbre de l'arrière plan. Il y a un tout petit peu trop de fog pour moi.

Jolie réussite.

Mysterious but lovely capture Jess. This one sets a great mood.
I'm curious how it would look without the adds...

Very dark indeed, seem like a scene from an horror movie.
Great work.

I love the dramatic feel to this. Would've preferred this without the patterned "fog", and maybe a little fine tuning of your black levels, but a great shot nonetheless. Very well composed.

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.

Hey Jess,
I've seen both this and the other (brighter version),
I must say I strongly prefer this one, (~8
Perhaps it's the time of the year, perhaps it is the attraction of mystic side of life, Cannot tell,
But I do know this is a favorite, 8~)
Lovely done,

Thanks for sharing
Warm♥regards
Tim

PS; Happy Holidays

this is nothing short of amazing. I love how the fog makes a nice natural filter and adds that kind of mysterious look to it.
A great background for Halloween (in 10 months :/)
NICE WORK!
