Nice picture. Great composition. Reflects a mood well. I don't think it does much to reflect the theme of this chalenge but it seems as close as most of the others at this point. I don't think you will get many bad comments on this.
A worthy image for quiet enjoyment, with a very tangible depth (via the detailed expanse of the fore- and middlegound against the gradually increasing density of the fog in the background). The tree too, as a lone subject, is both as faint and well proportioned as in a scene out of Hamlet. The horizontal division of the photo into thirds makes good sense to me, given its overall simplicity and the duality of its primary subject - the visual transformation of a landscape under fog.
Given the wide postcard format chosen here, I would have liked to see the rule of thirds applied to the position of the tree in it to reflect the vertical composition, at least approximately. The (blue) hue too, is, perhaps, slightly stronger than credible under natural conditions.
All in all, a serene capture, which suffers from a somewhat trivial title.
Hopefully the comments are more helpful than bad. I like the way you have created a theme to match your picture. It gives it feeling and purpose. Good job.
Oh wow, this is so incredibly stunning I don't even think the fact that the challenge link is extremely tenuous will keep you out of the top five (By the way the title is awful - you should have gone with something that matches the emotionality of this scene). One of the most evocative landscape shots I have ever seen. 10.
good resolution. hope you don't get any bad comments on this, cuz it really is an interesting picture (i could imagine some "this is a stretch to fit the challenge" comments, but i prefer to view this challenge with a very wide mind and level of interpretation).
You won't get any "bad" comments on this one!
- First reaction; That is so cool with the perfect tree surrounded by water. Where on earth did you find that....
With a little closer look, I see it's not water at all. I love the surreal feel of this one. The picture is stellar in every way. It is, however, much less direct at communicating a "resolution" and will rely heavily on the title to convey the affiliation. That takes nothing away from the picture, but it could cost you some points. Beautiful work!
this is just an awesome photo, however i feel it doesn't meet the challenge. It relies solely on the title. I cant vote, but if i could id probly give it a 6 or 7, if it fit the challenge more i could give it a 9 or even 10. I really like this shot alot, and i could see why you'd wanna submit it. I might try a bit of a different angle though, to get the horizon either in the top 3rd or bottom 3rd of the photo, depending on waht seemed more interesting, ground or sky. thats just me though.
You want bad comments?!
I'd preffer a picture with the horizont line at the lower 3rd line of the image i.e. cropped ~30% from the bottom, and then to preserve the aspect ratio, crop another 30% from the right.
