In the early moments of Sunday while teaching a friend.

Another classic Seawell. Is this colour, or is my brain just adding in rainbows at the edge of the fog?

There definitely is alternating magenta-cyan cast across the whole image, i.e., some hills at the top have cyan-ish cast, some magenta. Looks like a duotone split toning for highlights (cyan-ish) and shadows (magenta). Or cyanotype and sepia.

Other than that, very nice, of course.

Nice image, and I see the "rainbows" too:)

Other than the rainbow (easily fixable), it's a very fine image.

LOL! There is color. Split tone image where I was playing with "options". It does render was as a B&W but wanted to play.

Yep. You nailed it. But on my monitor things did not go so....wrong!  ;)

Get rid of the magenta and cyan, and this is a great shot!

I love the mood that comes in these images. You did a nice job of capturing it.

Great mood, great tones (cyan-magenta aside).

Am I the only one bothered about cutting off the top of the hill in the top left? In every way, this is one for "the wall" (no, not FB), except for the missing hill top. Maybe I'm too OCD about completeness; if it was cut off further, it might be "better", but you have only half the trees. Without the tops plus a thin wedge of sky (even if it's near white) it seems incomplete, to me anyway.

I agree, Terry.  The hill crop is distracting.

Definitely on- the- wall material.  Gorgeous.

It reminds me the evening of a winter day. Nice one!
