Just a gorgeous soft glow/focus feel to this one, but still maintaining a sharpness to the subject. Strong subject. DPC loves a flat horizon and this horizon isn't flat, so I predict you'll be chipped about that. I give it an 8. Good luck.
I like the color tone in this one - different than the B&W's and others I've been seeing. Nicely focused too. Can't help wondering what it would look like if that pole was cloned out... Hate changing the shot too much and not sure that's allowed here though. It does lean to the tree anyway. Very pretty shot.
i like your title and he idea behind it. that's personification right? i also like the sepia tones, it really does make the scene feel like a crisp early morning
