I really like this photo, it reminds me of one of a girl i know, who always wears a flower on one side of her hair. It looks sort of sad but beautiful all the same

Nice shot, the title really tells the story - I had guessed you were fogged in before I looked at the large version. I think the tonal range here sets a technical problem; it looks like you have done about as well as possible without resorting to HDR - the larger version looks much better in this respect than the smaller one, BTW. Compositionally, the dark mass of foliage more-or-less in the center bothers me a bit. I wonder how the shot would look with more space on the left?

I don't know... I love the tree, I just don't really like the brown tone. The fake sepia. I think it would be better in just black and white, or even the original color version. You wouldn't care to share that would you?

I think its a great subject like the composition... but, I agree and dont really like the tones here.

Any other versions to share?
