Hello Sam,
This is such a mystical shot that resembles some dark fantasy story. The blue hue and the mist on the ground are the main reasons for such mood and you captured it well.
Regards,
Erdem

Great capture of the misty highland jungle. From traveling in Costa Rica, I know this type of scene well, where the moisture of the ocean meets the highlands and creates a dense fog. You have done an amazing job of showcasing the softness of the mist while still capturing the details of the trees, all in a low light setting. Great job.

Very moody image, I like the ghost-like wafts of mist. After reading your note I'm curiously waiting for your next upload :-)

Hi sam,

THis is a very nice mist... I love the effect of the light and color there. Very dramatic. The mist makes the picture more into moody feeling. Well done.

Sam,
Although this is a very dark picture, it still contains lots of detail and, like the mist, has a mood hanging over it which any more brightness might kill.
I like it.
Regards

Hello Sam,
An otherworldly image with mist surrounding the hilltop. I like the tight composition with minimal sky. Admirable dedication on your part to get up early for this shot. Regards,

Nice landscape shot Sam. Love the darker type exposure and resulting colors. The mist on the hills looks great, providing a little extra contrast and adding to the "rainforest" feel.. The greens of the trees are just barely visible in the lighting and horizon line is placed well. A great note to top it off.

Great work.

Fantastic shot Sam. The combination of the snaking mist and the up and down of the mountains is quite mystical. The sky in the background seems a little posterized, but otherwise this is great.

Sam excellent capture with the mist. I love scenes like this. and in the morning and evening hours the mist moves very quickly at times. Timing is everything. Very well done here. TFS!
