This is very nice with excellent composition, exposure and ficus, it really looks good in black and white. I can not vote but if I could this would be one of the better entries and would get a high vote from me for sure.
Excellent atmosphere, with the bright sky gradually becoming darker and more misty as one looks lower. A very pleasing and calm image. The one criticism I have is what looks to me to be heavy burning on the lower right branches as the atmosphere at that location seems unnaturally darker than nearby atmosphere. Nevertheless, I would give it a ribbon. 8
This is a beautifully composed shot and the fog has rolled in with perfect timing. I don't see a thing I would do differently except maybe add a little toning.
I am sure I saw these trees before in an equally nice image. The fact that it seems perhaps deja vu is not a good sign but the picture remains nice (although I believe that the fog was added)
