Brown Queen

by Robert Pietraga

Fog in Karkonoski National Park (Poland) is like dream. It gives a secret which is an important part of this kind of photography.

Equipment: Olymps E-1, Zuiko 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5

The background effects of the fog make the trees further and further away seem unreal

WOW! This is art! Beautiful capture. Looks like a painting with the popping colors of the tree and the foggy background. Great job and congratulations on your well deserved POTD!

I like the background even more than I like the foreground.

Stunning capture. There is a peace being felt at this picture. Your eyes are so well trained to see the beauty of the nature and the way you have framed it is very classic.

The foggy atmosphere is photogenic of course, but the picture itself is quite common.

lol….i just love some of the comments on this site…this sort of landscape may be commonplace but it is the abilty off the photographer and the way he/she captures it on film is what makes or breaks the shot. In this case I think the photographer has done a great job with the conrast between the autumn tree and the almost monochromatic background.

The ‘draped’ fog gives a wonderful effect behind the Autumn colors. Great color contrast.

This shot shows a common thing (the tree) in a not common way (great colors and contrast with the fog). Very nice shot

I especially like this picture. This could have been taken here in Michigan a few weeks ago. The soft mystery of the deep woods–nothing like it! Thanks for such a wonderful photo.

The diminutive admires the majestic. Subtle, palpable contrasts.

very good shot indeed I just wonder how good this was not to have any fog between you and nearest tree.
