the picture kinda looks dark and gloomy but than when you look up you see the sun and it gives it some sort of hope that it will be a better day. the fog gives off a relaxing type feeling.

The light in the background gives off a nice bold color. Having the boat in the middle gives the picture something to focus on and the way the trees are in the back how they are kinda faded makes it seem mystical. I also like how there is the reflection from the boat and the light in the back. This picture is like a nice calming and relaxing photo.

The photo has many shades of grey. It could possibly be night time. The photo blends well using really smooth lines.This picture is really semetrical because of the reflection of the water. It is a very straight on photo, with some nice curves and angles.

In this photo their is mirror. The colors are very cool color. Their i lots of grey with hints of blue and black. The bright bloch of sun is very distracting from the photo. Toward the bottom of the picture it gets really dark. it makes it look like the color are laired. This photo makes me cold and reminds me of an early Sunday morning.

The symmetry in this photo isnt good. The Sun takes away from the whole "foggy" look. The picture is low quality and looks pixelated. The black around the edges takes away from the gradient colors.

The Photos horizon is about in the middle of the photo, making an even looking photo. To me the photo seems a bit blurry, this may be for the added effects, but to me it makes the photo of less worth. The sun peeking though the clouds definitely adds to the effect of the misty looking theme. Seeing the boat and the fisherman with little to no color sort of adds to the mystery of the photo.

This picture has a very cool, nice feel to it. i love how the sun comes through the clouds so make the picture have some natural light but not enough light to distract you.the fog in the background really blends the trees into the water very nicely and makes the picture have a much more subtle feel than it would otherwise

The colors in this picture go together good. But the picture is kind of blurry. The moon is to bright to me in the picture. The positioning of the man in the canoe goes good with the trees in the background.

This photo is set on a lake near a forest at night. It's a hazy night, but the moon is glowing brightly and casts a soft light over the lake. The lake reflects the moonlight and the forest and draws you in. Off to the right, there is a man in a canoe who is the focus of the picture. All you can see of him is his silhouette and his fishing pole.

the placement of the sun is good, i think it gives the photo a balance between the darker colers from the bout and from the trees. the fog in the back gives the photo a little bit of mistory to it. I like the way the water has a little bit of a ripple so that it's not a purfect fefletion but it compleats the photo.

This photo has many different elements to it. The first thing I see if how the boat is off center, I think it looks better off center cause its showing whats ahead of him. Also I really think that its a lot better of a photo because we cant see every detail of the guy in the boat, the silouette (I don't know how to spell that.) Secondly I notice the reflection in the water, it looks more like a mirror underneath the boat and by the island. One thing I don't like about the photo is that you can see the sun, they should have cropped it out, its kind of an ugly sun because the fog is covering most of it.

This photo is relaxing and peaceful. The colors lean away a bit from primary colors. The black blur at the bottom drives your eyes away from everything else, though.

The color of this picture gives off a cool dark feeling because of the mist and of course the fact that it's taken at night. The lighting is sort've distracting because it seems uneven and not meant for the picture. This is because its seems to be spread out in the fog. The subject looks like he/she is in a good place because they aren't in the way of the trees or the reflection of the trees. The position of the subject sort've compliments the trees reflection in the water.

the lighting is ok for pictures because the light doesnt blind the camera and the man is in view of the picture to be seen the fog adds a nice touch to the picture.

The gloom is a little dark but I like the angel that they did, It could also use a bit more color, But besides that its pretty good

The fog in the background mixed with the dark colors and minimum lighting makes the photo look very ominous yet calming.

this picture reminds me of halloween in a grave yard, but i like the way that the man and the cost reflect onto the water and how the clouds cover the moon

i like how the fishermen and canoe is off centered because you can see where he is heading. the colors in this photo are a little more chill, giving it a cool effect.

This photo is very calming. I like how the fisherman is placed because it makes the photo less dull then it would be if the photographer put him in the center. I think the colors in the photo are a little boring and need to be brightened just slightly. The reflection of the boat and fisherman distract from the rest of the photo and I feel that should be blurred slightly. I don't like the reflection of the moon/sun where it leaves the white spots in the water since that also distracts from the movie.

I like the sun reflecting in the lake, in my opinion it gives the picture more elements. I also think that since the boat is so sharp and clear your eyes are more drawn to it, and it's the main part of the photo so the photographer did a good job capturing it. The fog and trees in the back of the photo make a nice backdrop for the subject, also it isn't distracting from the subject, and it gives the photo a moody emotion.

Its calming and quiet. The colors are cool, basically one color. Theres not that much lighting and it looks dark and gloomy. The misty fog makes the picture seem mysterious. The photo is relaxing.

In this photo i like how the guy in the boat is off center. The nice blueish and grey colors calm the mood. It is a possiblity that it is night time in this picture because of the grayish color. There is a great contrast of colors. The black boat offsets all the gray.

This Photograph give off a mysterious feel to it. Due to the gray misty fog. The ripples in the water are very calm adding to a mysterious emotion into the photo. The way the man fishing in the boat adds more texture to the photograph along with the ripples.

The lighting in this photo gives off a really dark but relaxing feeling with the contrasting of the backround and the fisherman not able to be seen. The way that the camera is focused is confusing though because im not sure if im supposed to be looking at the backround or the fishermen. Otherwise, the photo was taken in a great place because of the clouds and the mist.

the man in the boat is on the one third mark on the right to make this a well balanced photo. Although the horizon of the reflection is half way. You could improve this photo by re-ajusting the horizon to the top third line. I like how it has a soft background but is broken with a hard subject

There is too much blur with the sun and the water. If the photo taker was trying to make the fisher shillouetted, it didn't work, because I can see part of the inside of the canoe. The hue was dark, and I didn't like it.

The photos colors are dark. the only thing that illuminates the picture the the sun or moon peering threw the fog. The fact that the image is mirrored and you only see the sihoutte of the man fishing makes this picture sureal.

In this scene it feels cold. the colors that they used and how bold the lines are makes the photo pop out and and can tell that the shapes are very distinct. The fog rally makes the feeling and makes it special.

The sun is in an odd position, slightly off center and blurred by the (I'm assuming) fog, which takes away from it slightly. The boat's lack of color makes me feel less interested in it, less emotional, but I still think the slight ripples in the water make up for it. The island's blurriness is overdone, and maybe if they had instead made the man blurry it would have been better, but no matter what it is still a rather good picture.

I like how the focus is on the boat and the trees in the background. The fact that the canoe is a sillouete makes it looks mysterious. The fog also give a mysterious to the photo.

The light in the background shows a nice bold color in the foreground. which contrasts the fisherman, giving it a dark outline.

the horizon could be moved to the top third line. I enjoy the soft colors and shapes as the background while it is broken by a sharp and solid sillhuett of the fisherman.

The silhouette of the fisherman is very nice exept the nose of the canoe shows a little bit of color. The waster is clear and it makes the reflections very crisp. I feel like the fog takes away from the photo. I'm not sure why but I just don't like it. The atmosphere of the lake might have ben more appealing if the photo was taken at sunset or daybreak. The sky is a big part of this photo so it would make sense to have something more vibrant in that empty space. But you could argue that the photo was meant to have a more gloomy and secludued tone to it in wich case they did a marvelous job.
