I agree with LLoire, I feel maybe if the image were brighter it would a lot more striking.
Wonderful capture though.

This is a really cool photo. I'm trying to resist using the words 'spooky' or 'creepy' in my description of it, but they are what comes to mind at first. I love all the things going on in it, and the partially obscured figures in the background. Very spiffy!

The first thought when I saw this: a bit creepy, a bit spooky. I like it.

I like how mysterious it is: are the people disappearing into the mist? Are they emerging from the mist?

There's a lot of action in here; you have the couple toward the left looking at a camera, there are children playing...I find myself moving all around the image.

The only criticism I have for the image is that I personally find the image too gray. There's no real contrasts anywhere, except for the person in the black shirt on the left; because of how the same gray the sky, the mist, and the ground look, the image looks a little flat. If the sky and/or ground appeared a bit lighter, I think the darker mist would jump right out.

Overall, a dynamic, dramatic image that just needs a bit more contrast to make the scene jump out. Nicely done.

Cheers for the in-depth comment always nice to see someone making an effort

To reply to the criticism I had trouble exposing this image because it is such a neutral photo, the mist takes away any depth I could of captured and only sign of depth would be the different heights of people foreground/background.

I'll take a look at the original and see if I can make the improvements you've suggested (someone else has agreed with your comment too)

If it works I'll upload the improved

Sorry for the double reply--I just noticed that the shot was taken with a digital camera; if that's the case, something like that might simply be corrected in the camera settings--for example, if your camera has a contrast setting, bump it higher next time, see what happens.

(Canon 50D) yeah it does but I tend to forget about it, it's within the profile settings.

But considering the place I took it is about 300-400 miles away I doubt I'll revisit the location anytime soon
