3/5/08 - Misty "S", v2

Here is the landscape orientation version of this image posted earlier today - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/93791917 It is interesting how different two versions of the same scene can be from simply flipping the camera.
Notice that the fog here is higher than in the previous version and partially exposes the bottoms of the distant trees. That works well here since it helps to know that the trees are there, but I prefer the low fog with the trees popping from the top and muted bottoms for the vertical version - if nothing else it helps to fill a void in the center of the image. In either case the fog adds a sense of mystery.
To me this horizontal version is more relaxing and the vertical is more dynamic.
Sorry for the double PAD post. Several weeks later - a sepia version http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/94816702

Beautiful images, both.

I think I prefer the first, for its delicacy of line and length of the s-curve. But I'm awfully attracted to the foreground detail in the second, as well.

Both are great images, I really can't choose one over the other.
