Nice greens. I don't see green tones used enough. The mood is great.

Misty and mystery... literally oozing out of the photo - great job.

Great capture that conveys an atmosphere of mystery. I'd propably crop out the lower dark part of the foreground that doesn't add to the picture.

Andreas - thanks for the comment (I love criticism). I have this photo up at another site, where it was unintentionally cropped to remove some of the bottom. Personally, I didn't like the result, but that's only my opinion (I'd be interested in what others think (www.newchemicalhistory.com/brendanbaker). I am, however, probably over-attracted to dark sections in my photography, and it seems the stronger black I have, the more I like it. May not be the case with everyone.
Thanks everyone,
B

Absolutely beautiful! I love the horizon, it is a great contrast of dark and light.

I like the horizon as well, and the dark part at the bottom, in my opinion, really adds to the perspective of the photo. Great shot!

Waiting for the aliens to come take me away. This has X-Files written all over it. Nice work. The fog is haunting.
