My local woods on a foggy day just as the sun was starting to break through. Taken in 2011 Olympus E410 kit lens. Hope you like it. Ken

Wow. Nicely done.
I judge the "goodness" of a photograph on how much time do I enjoy looking at it.
This is a pretty good photograph in my opinion.
This is something I would like hanging on my wall, and that is something I rarely say.
Nicely done.

I agree 100% with Otto's comment - a lovely image - subtle, atmospheric, all about the scene,the resulting image, the photographer's eye. Excellent - would be delighted to have mage this and would proudly hang it on the wall.

Fantastic shot. I could spend hours looking at it...
-
Nice work.
-
Another thumbs up.
Otto said it all.

Like forest in Disney's fairy tales. Nicely done!

Lovely for sure. And they say money doesn't grow on trees?! ;)

Really good.

+1 to all of the above comments.

Thanks for the comments. I have sat on this image for 6 years thinkin it not worth processing. I have recently "discovered" the joys of negative clarity and reduced saturation and that is what allows this misty backlit view to shine. Previously I would have ruined the shot by trying to make it pop. Now I need to trawl through older images for similarly ignored files. Ken

The above praise is well merited!

This was taken 30 minutes earlier and a few hundred metres away in an old Quarry. Roman inscriptions nearby tell you just how old. The stones for the nearby Hadrian's wall came from this location. I am not quite as happy with this shot perhaps the crepuscular rays just grab too much attention but I am loath to remove/ reduce them. Ken

I think you've got this one just right, too.
-
An additional "thumbs-up" for the use of the word crepuscular. ;D ;D
-
I have got into the swing of this now. So here is another image plus a reprocessing of the last one. Off to Northern France, before Mrs May closes the border, for a week of seascape photography plus a glass or two of wine. Ken

That's lovely too Ken. Do you think it might be worth slightly lightening the branch in the bottom left corner? It stands out a bit too much to my eyes. ( It's quite a lot blacker / more contrasty than anything else in the image.
There's a lot of Roman stuff in that neck of the woods ( no pun intended ): Hexham Abbey just down the road has a Saxon crypt made of reused Roman stone.
