Now THAT is one good looking shot!
I'm not envious of that, I am jealous, they are not necessarily the same thing. heheh

Really, you should hang that one, that has a calming effect, AND a look like it's just begging to be on your wall.

Looking at it a little bit more, I feel that if the image was moved down some, to get rid of the black at the bottom, and allow more sky, it 'could possibly' look better, because to me, it's too centered anyway.
I still love it though. :)

I agree with Randy that this is a very nicely composed and pleasing shot. You have captured the mist just right against the gentle glow of the sun.

A couple of suggestions that for making a good shot better. Try cropping a bit off the left, as well as the bottom, proportionally. That will get rid of some of the darkness at the bottom. Or - by using an exposure adjustment layer lighten up a portion of the bottom to show us some detail. By seeing more of the scene in the foreground it would satisfy our visual curiosity and also give the image a greater sense of depth.

That makes a nice difference - I think it improved the composition very well.

That looks a lot better, a lot more balanced.
That just has it all to me. :)

I like the crop better; it's a gorgeous shot.
