The composition is excellent. The mist is wonderful.

It's beautiful Betty, absolutely beautiful, I may be tired of snow, but I've always adored storms and pre-storm weather ;)

@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine. Saturday was a wild weather day for us. Tomorrow's shot is the sky just before we got hit with almost hurricane force winds. The temperature dropped from 58 to 38 in two hours!
@MJ: I was - in and out of fog! Thanks, MJ!
Chris from South Jersey, United States
Great composition and the fog is wonderful - I wonder what it would look like in b&w....
We had wild weather too on Saturday and I got a few shots - will post later this week or next....

@Chris: Thanks, Chris. Can't wait to see shots from another part of NJ!
Reza from Montreal, Canada
Wow! I like this one a lot. There is such a great contrast between the green tree in foreground with the rest of trees surrounded by fog. Wonderful shot indeed.

@Tracey: Thanks, Tracey.

I like the hanging mist, I can't make up my mind whether its spooky or dreamy?....maybe a bit of both.

That is gorgeous. The mist makes the tree pop right out.

Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
A truly lovely shot, Betty. Often, we see something like this but fail to capture it. You sure caught it here.

@Ronnie 2¢: Thank you. I know what you mean, but this time I was determined to stop and catch it!
Anita from West Nottingham, United States
Very nice foggy photo! I like the evergreen in the front.
