[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There is nothing to shoot, these days, because everything is wet and muddy and grey, it is raining all day long. So I looks through some older pictures, trying to find something else to post on TN.

This one was taken at the beginning of the month, on the same day as my previous post with the lake. It was early in the morning, it was cold and the fog was very beautiful, between the trees. The forest looks a bit mysterious, almost magical. It was like walking in a silvery dream - the trees were nothing more tan dark shapes coming out of the dense fog, and the pale sulight was filtered dimly to create this beautiful atmosphere. The dead leavec cracked under my feet, but there was nothing else to hear. Everything was quiet, everything was peaceful. I was all alone, with nobody to distract me.

Later the sun came out, and all the fog disappeared within minutes. Then the forest was clad in its autumn colors again, red and gold. It was really a fine day.

I hope you enjoy it !

Great autumnal atmosphere in this bold capture of the forest, Valerie.
Very authentic colours. The gentle fog adds a touch of magical mystery to the forest.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful composition and regards.

Hello Valerie,
A strong autumnal atmosphere is very well recorded!
Awesome feeling of depth in this frame, a few leaves still on the trees but most of them forming a thick carpet on the ground...
An excellent piece of work, my friend!
Greetings,

Hello Valerie,
gorgeous shot of this misty forest.
The atmosphere created by the mist is fabulous.
I love the POV and you've composed and framed it perfectly with the intruding branch in the bottom left.
Excellent quality producing crisp edges and is clean and noisless.
Beautiful lighting and good autumn colours.
Just perfect...
Very well done!
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Valerie.
There is no bad weather. The nature is always fine. And you have proved this thesis excellently. You have created a very nice, delicate, refined picture. The subject as well as tits reproduction is charming. I like tender lights, wonderful shapes of the trees, pleasant curve of ground line. POv and DOF are selected very well too. My compliments and thanks for posting.
Alexei.

A beautiful and moody capture! Very well done! Bravo! Cheers, Klaus

Very, very nice. the yellow gold leaves on the right side of the photo add a sense of drama and perspective. Well done.

Hi Valerie,
Ofcourse I enjoyed it a lot. Hope everybody else has the same opinion. Excellent capture with an excellent composition. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hi Valy

Indeed a very misteriouos forest! What a moody landscape and a terrific shot!
I look at some of these photos taken in early mornings and i think i should go out at that time of the day and try it myself, too. Hopefully i'll get the chance someday soon :)
Your composition here is really wonderful and the picture illustrates what you said in the note well.
The shapes of the trees are exceptional and the deep fog does well to put some perspective and depth in the scene, making the ones farther wawy less visible.
I'm not too sure about the very bright patch in teh left upper corner. I'm guessing that the sun emerging, but i have mixed feelings about it - one one hand i find it a bit overexposed and distracting, but on the other hand i really like it in the composition, making this picture unique in opposition to all others taken about a misty forest. I can't make my mind :)
Anyway, wonderful work!

Bravo and TFS

Hi Valerie!

A beautiful atumnal picture. The mystic atmosphere is very pleasant to me and I also like the composition. Fog and trees, a wonderful mix for contemplative pictures.

Kind regards

Hi!
What a lovely autumn mood you have captured there!
The fog makes the forest much more interesting in this case.
Very good light, even though a little washed out up to the left.
The leaves left on the trees are supplying a fine golden atmosphere to the picture.

Best regards,
Jon.

Hello Valerie

This shot is well composed.
I really like the atmosphere and mood created.
The slight slope of the land makes a nice composition.
Well saturated colours add a nice autumn flavour.
You have managed to capture the mist well despite lighting challenges.
Well done.
