Photographer’s Note
Morning at Bedugul Botanical Garden is not predictable, one day it is clear and bright sunny morning and the following day, it is just like in this picture, deep foggy, cannot see more than 20 meter ahead.
In this picture, I increase brightness significantly, so we are able to see trees up to a considerable distance, otherwise, only few tree trunks can be visualized.
However, I am not complaining, I like dynamical changes of the wheather at this highland.

Hi Ben, Very good mood image of this forest area. It is what we see in the area, foggy at times. Good POV with the slope cropped well. Good one. Murray.

Hi Benyamin,
If in the true life it is the morning at Bedugul Botanical Garden, this picture could also be the fiction kingdom of the old witch.
So I did a little workshop in order to experiment an ideal environment for witches and sorcery:
1- Decrease saturation 41%; for a pastel-washed-color;
2- Lightness + 25% ; thus adding more mist;
3- Hue - 5% just in case;
4- Contrast - 10%: adding more mist;
5- Blur the whole scenery so the witches won't be identified.

Hi Benyamin
Thanks for your critique of Gulls just wanna have fun. You have some fine work in your gallery and I was drawn to your latest posting because of its mysterious atmosphere due to the mist between the trees. It looks a very peaceful and beautiful spot. I was thinking of Bali yesterday, it was the anniversary of the London bombings a year ago and there were commemorative services which also commemorated the terrible incidents in Bali, as well as 9/11. It's a great pity the world can't always be as peaceful as in this beautiful photo.
Regards
Peter

Hi Ben, You have well captured the foggy environment before the sun breaking up the fog. Nice to show the different clarity with the distance from your lens. A well seen and a well captured picture.

Hi Ben,
I think, It's a wonderfull shot with gret composition. But, what you think about noise reduction on this shot? You can try Noise Ninja or Neat Image.
Well done

It must be very poetic when you came to the scene, isn't it, Ben?
I like both your photo and your note, telling what you can't and can do in digital photography...
The unseen background is what I wish I can capture one,every year when we went out shooting fall foliage and... always failed because Mother Nature not always agrees to help ;o)
I wish to see more beautiful pictures of your lovely country.
Regards,
Thanh
Cheers!

I enjoy this shot to Benyamin, the fog is exelent and the effect of the trees in the fog put a very strange atmosphere.
Well done.

Hello Benyamin,
une photo très bruitée, mais l'ambiance me plait tellement que je ne vais pas tenir compte de ce petit défaut.
Une atmosphère glauque et inquiétante, on n'est pas loin de voir surgir des trolls et des lutins.
Regards from Belgium.
Daniel.

Hi Benyamin,
The fog gives a mysterious atmosphere, emphasized with this luminous green. Maybe a little bit too noisy but I like your effort of PP.
