I could see this used as a spread for an article on something relating to back roads. Otherwise considering a shot at a higher angle and less emphasis on the road would have be nice.

I was thinking exactly opposite. I would have liked to seen it taken closer to the road. Either way, I like it. I find myself wondering what is beyond the fog.

Thank you for you thoughts. It does have an emphasis on the road. I wanted to use the road and fence line as leading lines into the fog and towards the tree.

Thank you for your input. I think I was as low as I could go with my tripod (piece of crap), but I could see how that would make for an interesting image being lower. I was probably 20" off the road or something like that.

Morning bump for some more C&C

Is there anything I could have done better here? Rating 1-10? Did I do a good job executing leading lines? Give me something here. Crap be brutal I don't care.

The reason I like this photo is because it has the non foggy part leading in to the fog. You must have a good eye, because you noticed that and executed the shot very well IMO.

I can't think of anything I would change other than maybe having fun with the fog, making a mean/darker version.

Id say, you had a vision and pulled it off nicely 9.9 out of 10.

I like this a lot ... the POV low sets up the drama for the shot ...really good comp. nice tones and all the elements work so well together I give a 10

Thank you. I will have to play with a darker version. I haven't figured out how to darken fog yet without making it look gray and boring.

Thank you for your feedback! It really helps me learn and improve.

I love your photo just how it is, but I was messing around with a darker version, but I couldnt get the fog like I wanted it, oh well the road is different.

The edit adds more relief to the road. The fog still looks good. Nice work.

Thanks for taking the time to edit. I think I played with it a little bit like this as well. I like the road darker but yeah fog is tough to do much with.

Gotta view it big! I really like this perspective, nicely done

My only comment for making it better would be to move forward 1 foot and eliminate the crack in the road but that's not much to complain about.
Good job!

Thanks for the feedback. I have gone back and forth myself about the crack too. Part of me likes it as foreground detail and part says it is a minor distraction.
