Lovely and vaguely spooky (I'm sure there's a raven hiding out in one of those trees)

Very atmospheric and such a beautiful composition.

excellent composition - I might have cropped some of the gray sky off the top - made it more of a panoramic size - that was my first thought, but it's beautiful either way

@sitiodown Thanks for the specific critique Tari. I'm not quite comfortable with the amount of sky either and haven't figured out how I like it best.

The way you have it makes it look like the trees are taking comfort in each other under the big sky. It works really well!

@moonpig Thanks so much. Big sky, the nobility of trees and my happiness in being enfolded in fog were the things that were driving me. When it came to cropping, though I wasn' t sure of the best visual balance - nothing seemed quite as right as the big sky and I was emotionally connected with it, so it's the best I can do. If I'd taken more ground in the front, it may have been more easily cropped. But I like the lonely strength the big sky lends the gathered trees - as I think you are saying. And in many fewer words - LOL.

really love how the trees are in a mini grove here and the spooky kind of foggy feel.

Love the ratio of sky to trees. A beautiful, mystical composition.
