Foggy morning

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Here's a shot I fiddled with this morning. What do you think?

To be honest, it doesn't work for me. The sepia just makes the fog look like it is an old faded colour image. Perhaps a blue tinge would be better. B&W might be good too. Dunno really. A tigher crop to remove the sign and the thing on the left might help too.

Just my thoughts.

Thanks Killa. Just experimenting with things that aren't in full colour lol... I think I need lots of practice.

Thanks for your input mate.

Regards,
Owen.

Owen - nice try but IMO fog tends to not have an even density - therefore the image should get denser as it recedes into the distance :wink:

Depending on how low the fog is lying though... but you caught me out :)

edit: what i meant was, if the fog was not very low, then you could still make out the pole... but I know what you mean, the pole should be less visible than the rest of the image.

Sorry Owen I was going on English fog which was man made and as thick as pea soup - hence the name ”a pea souper” 8)

A fine suspension of water droplets kown as a mist would have a different composition and hence would not be as thick as fog :)

Actually, I just got back in from mowing the lawns and I had another look at the image, rather than fog it looks more like the smoke that is hanging in the air after a bushfire. I'll probably be able to capture that scene in that exact location later this summer unfortunately.
