A foggy day. I took this photo with my Canon AE1 SLR...I did a bit of special effects using the tool in Paint Shop that makes it look as tho it was sort of painted. I just liked the effects on the trees. Please feel free to critique or comment. I appreciate them all.

Very elegant framing. I like the way the grey of the frame goes with the grey of the fog in the picture. Good work!

It sounds like a Stephen King novel.....Looks like one too. Very mysterious and beautiful at the same time. Great work on this and I can tell the time put in was well worth the effort.

This is a masterpiece. Verena. I love the textures of the picture, and that is some fancy looking frame. Very well done.

I think I darker frame would've emphasized the fog more. :)

The embossing adds a lot to this image. Filters can sometimes do wonders for a photo as long as the artist knows when to say "when." Nice job, Verena.

Frantic creation once again (always thinking) , and one more to keep. Glad you are back with the fog. I like this a lot and the framing spruces up your great job even more.

Good work X. I think a more drab frame would have looked nice. Just me, I am an old fuddy duddy.

Sorry about the generic comment, but I'm still way behind on them all, about 300 or so I would say....Gulp.

My kind regards,

Very nice, altho I think the framing overpowers the image. Personally, I like the framing a bit more than the image. Still, a good image.

Beautiful fog picture, Ms. V! Love the simplicity of it and the graceful curve of the road and of course the blackbird. Nicely done!
