Hello Avishek,
This view is very nice with the plants and the fog. Colors are great but I'm not so sure if the horizon is a little bit bent down or not. Anyway,
Best regards,

hi Avishek

Very nice view with misty fog and well composed shot. It is always the case that the photo cannot capture a complete true picture of the actual scene of misty fog unless you stand in the spot and feel it in person. Good work.

Hi Avishek, i like this one, i love how green and moutains in the background mix with the grey and humid sky, the path and its perspective is like an invitation to start a travel full of exotism in those mountains.
Very nice

Hi Avishek

The road adds good diminishing linear perspective. Good light management, on the high key toned path, with no visible oe. Good colour & sharpness, also. Tfs!

Hello Avishek,
This is a fantastic picture.
