Winter Mood

On my visit to Heidelberg I went back to the favorite sledding hill. Was kinda foggy out, so this is what I saw ...

Nice pic. Like how the trees fade up into the fog. Great mood.

Very nice capture, Matt. So desolate and cold looking.

Lovely and simple. I think it could use a touch of contrast though.

Thank you all for your kind words, much appreciated.

As for the blue-ish tint: this is a black and white image, and it shows fine on my monitor, so I am wondering if it might be a calibration problem? I just bought a brand new monitor, a Dell 27" Ultrasharp, in order to have my images a bit more balanced and calibrated. But if my monitor should be out of calibration, I would like to know.
I have also tried to add more contrast to the image, and I find it looses the mood; I kinda like the softness of the grays, without a pure white and pure black in it. If one were to over emphasize the contrast a different, more 'harsh' looking image would be created.
But this is just my opinion.

Loses the mood. Loses.
And if you like it, and it fulfills your vision that's all that matters.
