Ahhhh....General Eragon, I presume? A beautiful Dragon's eye peering through the fog (I love fog!)...the silhouette of the leaves adds wonderful detail to the dark and deep and that "eye" carries the sense of awakening danger of this photograph. Should be the cover of the next Stephen King novel...;-)

Dragon's Eye, yes it's true, I see it! At first sight it looked like an ordinary boring shot but after reading the title it all makes sense. :)

Nice capture and title. A tighter crop may have been more powerful, hard to tell.
