Wow, 180,000 views. Too bad you don't get a penny per click or you'd be sitting pretty about now.

You should play more and work less. The job will always be there but these chances are only once in a lifetime. Congrats, great shot!!!

I thought this place looked familiar. Absolutely phenomenal colors, you've captured (and no doubt enhanced) a magical moment here.

Greetings from the Critique Club



This is a wonderful photo. But the voters already told you that! The ribbon is well-deserved. The vibrant colors really draw me in, and the view is breathtaking. There are a lot of good things to say, but two things really strike me here:



First, I love the way that the warm colors sandwich the cool colors. Since warm colors seem near and cool ones far away, this really enhances the depth of the photo. And the warmth at the top and bottom tie those two areas together, helping to unify the photo that's separated into 3 areas (sky, fog, and grass, with dark lines between them).



Second, the feel of the photo is overall peaceful, but with an undercurrent of excitement. The serenity comes from lots of horizontal (or nearly so) lines and the low contrast cool fog. But the strong diagonal line of trees in the far foreground and, of course, the rays of the breaking sun combined with the bright warm colors promise that won't last long!



I only have one complaint: The photo is only 6 1/2 inches wide on my screen. Not nearly big enough!

Photographer found comment helpful.

amazing shot, bud. very nice. congrats on the ribbon :)

Photographer found comment helpful.

This is Nuzztastic! :P Congrats on another ribbon, you have found quite a scene there.

Photographer found comment helpful.

very smart using the same place and time again. I think it was the same time in the day, or about, but seems the sun moved because of winter coming in your part of the world. So it move a bit to the north giving you a shorter day.

Good nice work.

Absolutely breathtaking photo. I imagine this will be one of the top finishers in the challenge.

Photographer found comment helpful.

The reason I vote, and trawl through so many average photos, is that once in a while somebody comes up with something that makes my jaw drop. This is it. I'll be fascinated to find out where you took this.

Photographer found comment helpful.

Spectacular

Photographer found comment helpful.

wow - this has pretty much everything you could ask for, dramatic sky, lushious green grass, and the fog creating an element of mystery. Love it! 7

This looks like it is an amzingly beautiful picture-but for my taste it is over processed...all the fog is amazing
