This is from my old village as I was driving to work yesterday through the fog. Apologizes for the watermark

Nicely seen.

Since this is not posted in the Critique section, are you interested in hearing it anyway? Oh, just noticed this is your first post. Welcome! We have here three options when it comes to getting/avoiding criticism:

1. If you want a critique, there is a section for it (in The Art of Photography Forum)
2. If you specifically do not want it, but want just to display your work, there is a thread titled "Without Prejudice" in the same section
3. This forum, where you are posting, is a bit ambiguous in that respect, as some posters would critique it anyway, some would refrain, and some would ask for permission first.

Once again, welcome!

Beautiful composition.  I hope you can recover those highlights during a re-process.

Thanks for the info especially concerning on how to post. Since I'm new here I'll make sure to post at the proper forum in the future but do feel feel to critique!

Very nice. Contrast and lighting is amazing, well done.
Composition could be better, it is very hard to create strong dynamic landscape in vertical , but if you manage to do it it might be your best photograph.
In black and white photography texture, form, shapes, lighting is the most important along with composition.
This black and white is definitely great but the sky is  a little bit overexposed.

Very nice... nothing wrong with the highlights (or the shadows), in my humble opinion: sometimes, you do not need to see everything with all its details; sometimes, it is even better just insinuating some parts.

Agree with that, as I would!

I've a similar shot on the bedroom wall, made by a French photogarpher, Francis Annet, working out of Sarlat in the Dordogne/Périgord (take your pick!); Petit matin d'hiver depuis Temniac, is what he calls it. It's also a vertical, and in fact, of the three prints which I bought from him, my two favourites are both verticals... yes, difficult at times on 135 format, but pretty good when it works!

Fog is to landscape what wet blouses are to women.

Somehow, Rob, every discussion with you about landscape ends up with... women!? Add wet blouses, and all I need now to complete that picture is the "hand of man"

Slobodan, there are only two legitimate options in life and, depending on your gender they are reduced to one, and woman is one of those choices.

Regarding landscape, haven't you heard of Mother Nature? What do you expect her to be wearing, out in the rain  - a Mary Poppins?

There, you made me say it again  - all your fault!
