Mal, nice tones and great mood, but (again!) I feel the mood should be still a bit greater without the blue sky above, that seems to be out of the scene.
A suggestion, like always... Nevertheless a great one,
Fernand

Mal Smart lol - a visit from you Fernand without some usefull pointers and advice would be pointless! And I would start to get worried about you to! lol. Yes you are right, if the cloud had continued to the top of the frame a natural vignette would have been gained. Good point as always Fernand. mal

Like the frosty and misty feeling together with the 'blue' light. Makes me think about how it should look like up here in Sweden...;) but here it's all green.

Mal Smart Everything is covered in snow today Ulf, wish I had taken the shot today. I used a coral cokin filter on this one. cheers and all the best for 2008 Mr Screener. mal

Very dreamy Mal, don't get lost in the fog! ;) A very promising start of the new year! Happy 2008!

Mal Smart I mentioned to Codrin that my intension was to bag a few dark, moody, misty forrest shots yesterday morning before dawn. So how i ended up with a chocolate box landscape sunrise is simply beyond me Ralf! lol.

All the best to you and the OE team for 2008. mal

Beautiful cold/warm image! Usually I don't like power lines in landscapes, but in this case they look pretty good there, it looks like they give the image a greater sense of depth than it would have without them (you can see farther because of them).

Mal Smart my initial thought was when composing the scene that I wished that the lines were not there also but like you I have kind of grown used to them now! lol. cheers. mal
