Fog can make places take on a mystical, magical look - otherworldly. This pier and the ocean is enshrouded in it. Colors have retreated and all the world is bathed or reflected in pearl-grey white sheen. The lone bird floats on what now looks like a glass-like surface. The mood of the photo is of solitude and the feel of it is cold and very chilly. Nothing is there - the quiet pier is only visited by the lone bird. The grey-white hues that dominate the photo convey a great sense of chill and cold wind. The photo is above average but I think it has potential to be even more visually appealing. The composition of the photo is in the vertical which I don't think is allowing it to have it's full visual impact. A horizontal crop would be more flattering for not only would you give your audience a 'wide screen/big picture' view of this world but it would complement & parallel the horizontal lines of the pier.
Interesting. The bird int he water is needed to give depth. The fog might be just a little bit too much. The reflections though in the water are very interesting
I really like the composition of this shot - the softness of the fog. However, I find the bird distracts from the serenity of the mood. Very nice though.
There's something a bit strange about this shot. The detail in the foreground object (duck?) and the background pier don't match up. It just doesn't feel like a fog effect to me, feels more like you've dodged the background to fade it out.
I'm not saying that's what you did, I'm just saying that's what the shot feels like to me.
