I have visited mountain woods like these on early misty mornings, and this photo captures the mood quite well for me.
I also cannot help but join the side discussion: I joined 500px very recently due to the professional presentation of the galleries, yet I was rather disappointed by the (mostly) low quality comments on such (mostly) high quality work. I came here to learn, to be inspired, and to improve. How can I improve if a commenter does not inform me what attracted or disgusted him/her in my photo?
Words have incredible power, gentlemen. Let's use them wisely.

Thanks for the kind words.
I agree that comment should be much more meaningful on 500px, not just 'great compo' or 'nice', especially if you didn't like the image.

Thanks. It really wasn't my purpose just to offend other people and spoil their photography.

Classic topic right now, for sure, well, it's the season; what makes your shot here different and therefore interesting for me is that it combines two typical topics of autumn (manifold colors and fog) that are in general only seen separately in photos, united in one pic; like also your point of view chosen, with the tree trunk in the foreground, to give the image spatial depth, reinforced by the fog, diluting forms and colors.
Oh, and btw, thanks for having had a look at my pic "... and at shortly after 6..." and your comment, which, although pretty non-specific, is for me definitely more welcome as any of the many meaningless comments here on 500px which just demonstrate an interest in getting a mutual like to boast one's ego (a game I'm not taking part in, likes and dislikes being just funny collateral things for which I couldn't care less; me being interested in learning and helping others to learn as good as I as a beginner can). You probably won't care and will tell me that you didn't ask for advice but the form with which you criticize (also checked your flow) reveals a great deal of arrogance and rudeness on your side and unfounded self-assuredness; your subjective opinion is just that, nothing more, not the truth.

I'm sorry if my comment offended you.
It's true that I post maybe a little too much negative comments, but I don't find it a really bad thing.
Recently 500px moved a lot more towards people who like other photos not because they are professional and pleasing, but to promote their own imagery. It results in lot's of extremely low-quality pictures showing up in popular. And it seems really strange to me that noone, noone at all, even willing to point that out. Positive comments just keep showing, even though the picture is well below amateure level - just a badly processed snapshot.
I would prefer that when I post a bad image someone from the experts of 500px comunity will add a critique comment - such things help a lot to move forward and understand better in photography, even though it may offend and sadden one a little.
So, thank you for your comment. I still think that that particular image of yours is a really bad HDR execution, even though your other images look much better. Sorry if that offends you.
