River in Fog

[Marko]

If given the choice, I like the image without the tree.
I'm not sure i would have cloned it out had i shot it with the tree, but seeing these 2 side by side, the image without the tree looks more balanced to my eye. Hope that helps - Marko

I'd say keep the tree ... add contrast ... get the fog more white and it'd be a very cool shot.

Thanks everyone for the input.

Interesting exersize - cutting out the tree....never occured to me, but I like the tree having looked at them side by side. I agree the fog needs to be whiter, when I turned this into a jpeg for posting I didn't really pay attention to it and the cast became a little too yellow from ths split toning I had applied in PS.

As far as the contrast goes, ya, hmm.... I like the low contrast, the fog was REALLY thick and actually the contrast was boosted a fair bit already. I think if the contrast was boosted any more it would look too processed and fake - but if anyone else has a shot in the fog that has high contrast I would love to see it.

Anyway thanks!!
