LakeMichigan: Congratulations on winning the contest .
Excellent entry .
Nikoneer: I like the stages of depth in this image. The foreground trees and fence are a little fuzzy and dark, a scene I am very familiar with even when there is no fog (living in the far north of the U.S. as I do), and with each successive shape beyond the clarity gets less and less. I also like your positioning of the road to the right; the only thing even close to centered here is the rising sun. It's not a "calendar perfect" scene but one that is more true to life. I think you did an excellent job of maintaining balance, Chris, but that's something I've come to expect of your work.

Excellent entry . ..... WAY TO GO !!!!
Nikoneer: When experiencing fog in a landscape, one usually has it in abundance, nearly obliterating everything in view. In that situation it's difficult to see the difference (within the same photograph) between the fog and the same scene untouched by the earthbound cloud. Your photo truly shows a clean edge of fog, relatively rare, and that's what sets this image apart from the others. The smaller portion of clear boardwalk, with a pleasant and well-composed diagonal to the left, pulls us into the scene as though it were attempting to skirt the edge of the fog. The open water in the foreground allows us to see the edge of the fog. This is a very nice capture, Pat, in that it shows the fog as an entity separate from the rest of the world. I could easily see this as a dust jacket for a mystery novel or a cover for a jazz CD. For my money, it's the number one choice in this contest. No one's beaten it yet. I know you've referred to yourself as an amateur shutterbug (I'm paraphrasing here) in the past, but this is professional level. Good work.
