Sorry Dave but yesterday's shot was superior to this. I don't know if you did this on purpose, but the fence, grass, and almost everything seems to be ut of focus. If you were trying to do a soft focus, i still do not think it came out very well because the bluriness is too distracting.

I would have to disagree with VPra. I think if it was too sharp it would take the obvious haze from the atmosphere. I must admit though I am a fan of 'not so typical' landscapes.

I like the cyan cast as well. So personally I think it is a nice photo with classic composition, The Tree is on a vertcal third and the horizon divides equally into the horizontal plane

VPra: the only post-processing I did to this one was to up the saturation a little and apply the digital equivalent of a graduated neutral density filter to up the brightness in the foreground. As for the bluriness: this is entirely natural and the shot is sharp, at least as far as the conditions would permit; i.e. it was a misty evening. You probably won't like tomorrow's either then ;-)

This is amazing. It looks like the upper part is painted while the lower half is a normal picture.

Wow.

To a person from a country with no mountains whatsoever, this is a stunning piece. I love the colours and the mood. The whole serenity of the scene made me think of another world.

This is one of my favourite photographs i have seen, it seems.

Nice to see a different kind of landscape subject from you, I love the mist.

Very "classic". The fog makes in the scene something dreamy. I like it a lot.

I think the hills look absolutely beautiful, and the composition with the trees works well. The only thing that is bothering me is the field in the foreground - I find that the hue has been bumped up too much, and unbalances the softer feel of the top two thirds. It also seems to have lost detail in a way that doesn't suggest mist, but looks more reminiscent of JPEG artifacts (although I don't know if that is actually the case).

Hope you are having a good time,

Good thought, but don't think it's all the way there - doesn't like you got down and dirty this time - having your camera super-low really seems to help increase the depth of field your landscape pictures, and could have benefitted here.
But darn it, I'm still jealous - looks likea beautiful camping spot!

As "pretty" as this shot is, it's not very great. If it were to be posted on anybody else's blog, it wouldn't receive any comments - or at least not any nice ones. I do think it's pretty... in fact I wish I was there right now. But I'm not a fan of fog shots. They've been done millions of times before. I love your site though. Yesterday's shot was fantastic.

Very moody, very gorgeous.

Beautifully soft.

Nice atmosphere. I bet that was a nice bit of input for the senses.

This is such a nice view. Looks so relaxing and peacefull.

For me, it's a wonderful English landscape. Beautiful shot of a beautiful place.

Love that image, such beautiful light....

I agree with Skause, that if this were posted on anyone else's site it would receive minimal comment - but this is on Chromasia, we know your style and we know that your pictures are taken with intent. But maybe, just maybe, in this case your thoughts were more on the walk and the experience of the landscape than on making great photographs.
I stayed in Edale a couple of years back (not far from the excellent pub!) and am always seduced by the stunning location. My files contain a lot of similar views but many never make it further than the holiday file. Very evocative picture though - just as I remember it.

Edale is not far from me at all, but as far as I know i've never been there! One to add to the list :)
Lovely picture David - I love the mist. It gives it an almost powerful feel? Maybe that's not the best way to describe it. The hills have a wild scottish mountain feel about them - a landscape close to my heart :)

Skauce/fraxinus: I guess, for once, that I was aiming for something fairly literal when I took this one (and the one I'm putting up later today). And I know that normally I aim for something interpretative – how I see the scene, what it means to me – but I think that on this occassion I was happy to record the scene much as I found it.

As for this not receiving comments if it were posted elsewhere: perhaps not, I don't know. The shots I post on chromasia are the ones that I like, and I don't think this is any worse than most of the stuff I put up. Sure, it's more mundane, but I like it nonetheless ;-)

David: there was a wall just in front of me and the grass was a bit damp, so I didn't fancy laying down in it ;-)

Jem: Edale is well worth a visit.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

How nice to see you get away from the seashore for awhile.

decidedly different from you normal style... i love the depth of field in concert with the haze/fog effect. as i first saw it is struck me as very much like one of the old chinese prints of a vaste natural space in which animals/people are but a small part of the entire picture...

just as a side note, had to look up Edale because of its obvious beauty, so went to the edale-vally web site... had to chuckle about a description of the patchwork sheep enclosures being "mostly less than 200 years old"... a major part of my country is "mostly" less than 200 years old... :-)

Very nice image. You do excellent work.

Thanks everyone.

Dana: lol. I wish I had more time to travel further afield but at the moment I'm stuck with either taking photographs at home, in and around work (which isn't an overly photogenic location) or on the nearby beaches.

Glen: I don't know how long Edale has been around but I suspect that 200 years is a relatively trivial stretch of time in that neck of the woods :-)

Very nice, not your usual sort of pic at all, it is nice to see a bit of greenery on chromasia for a change rather than all that sand, the light coming through the mist is great.

The blue misty effect reminds me of the Smoky Mountains here in the U.S. This is a very beautiful bucolic image....dotted with sheep. Lovely. I can't understand the thought that every image you post must be technically and subjectively perfect. What nonsense. Hooray for you for posting what you like. This image is recording a moment and a place, and very well I might add.

Again very different from your usual work. I like this one even better than the following one, because it has some sort of nice blueish overall tone...

Beautiful shot - made to be framed and put on a nice white wall.
