Shot from the North shore of Vancouver over-looking the fogged in valley below during an inversion of local air temperature.

-post challenge-
Thanks everyone for the comments! The photo was taken shortly after sunrise. This was my first entry on this site so I have much to catch up on and learn. I am quite new to the world of photography and am looking to gain as much experience as I can. Was quite excited to enter this challenge and stoked to get a top 10.

I'm not sure what time of day this photo was taken, but the foreground seems too dark, imo. Beautiful place though!

WOW, I really like this shot. IMO maybe could crop off some of the bottom. And BTW, where is this?

This is really nice! Those trees popping up from the fog 'make' this picture.

Wow, this scene is stunning- I think the trees in the top left are distracting, though
