Photographer's Note
The fog silently crawls across the sky and on the ground
And cloaks the countryside for miles around
And motorists drive with their headlights on though the clock has struck mid-day
And visibility down to twenty metres and everywhere looking gray.
A chilly day in Winter in mid June
The silent fog crawls on the ground merging with clouds of monsoon
And motorists and truckies on the road to and from the town are driving rather slow
They even do drive faster in the frost and in the snow.
It cloaks the roadside paddocks and the houses of the town
And cars and trucks with headlights on the main street crawl up and down
On days in Winter now and then you do get days like these
Quite chilly days with heavy fog with scarce a puff of breeze.
The fog it creeps across the sky and covers everywhere
And the day is damp and gloomy and a chill is in the air
The winding road beyond Rishikesh, winding its way through the mountains...

Hello Angshuman da,
you have composed it beautifully. The frame is divided into two parts across the diagonal. It is a good idea. The fog really crawling over the slopes and covers the mountain. Nice scene. You have chosen a fine exposer to describe the situation. Nice saturated colours. The tree leafs in left is good inclusion. Well done. Tfs.
Have a nice weekend.

Hi Angshuman,
The curve of the road is an asset to the composition. The point of view takes my eyes toward the vehicules which is gibving depth to the photo. The fog is affecting the light which is giving a good contrast to the colors. Have a nice day.

Bonjour, cher ami Angshu,
La brume donne un trθs bel effet ΰ cette composition. Les cars colorιs ressortent malgrι tout en traversant des zones accidentιes. J'aime beaucoup les strates au-dessus des conifθres.
Encore un enchantement !
Amitiιs.

Namaste Angshu,
very good play with the fog and the diagonal of the hill. I also like the inclusion of the different trees at the left which reveal the diversity in the region. Very good work!

Hello Angshu
Very beautiful landscape full of calm and serenity that is lost in the haze and a nice text to accompany this haven of peace.
The work of a poet.
I like a lot, but I do not know enough English to say what I have to say about this image.
Regards
Pierre.

Namaste Angshuman,
The framing is chosen well to obtain an elegant diagonal in the photo, created by the hillside of this mountainous landscape with a very green vegetation.
While, we see the winding road with the vehicles circulating slowly because of the fog that covers the another half of the image.
This one is an interesting composition, well done and with a good informative note, as usual.
A good work, my friend.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Angshuman
I had a couple of days like this in Sapa, Vietnam but was lucky in Darjeeling with clear blue skies. Good mood & atmosphere are conveyed by the mist & fog. Tfs!

hello Angshuman,
I think this is great, I've always had a feeling that fog makes the world seem very small, because you cannot really see too far :) and everything feels quiet, muffled, like under a thick blanket. I think you have perfectly captured this sense here, I can imagine how it feels sitting in those busses, a small private universe travelling through thick soup of the fog. the pine branch on the left is a little distracting though, but I see that you could not avoid it, you needed more space on the left, and it would be difficult to clone the branch out. but I do like the photo, nothing changes that :)
best,
Kristine

Hi Angshuman,
an excellent composition in every sense with the buses as an important element! Your fascinating poem is accompanying a very subtle impression of this famous landscape. What I really like is that one can see and almost feel the fog emerging. My compliments!
Warm regards

Very nice to see the tiny coaches and cars on the small mountains roads, emerging from the fog. Great contrast between the green of the foreground, and the grey fog in the background.
All the best,

Hello Angshu,
I can almost feel the mist in the air of this foggy and misty landscape. You really captured well the atmosphere and really nice details in such low light, I don't I have got and good shot of a foggy situation. Even the green is very nicely saturated by the moisture in the air. Very nice. Thanks.

Bonjour Angshu.
Le brouillard est un artiste et le photographe n'a qu'ΰ en profiter. J'aime ce paysage bien mis en valeur par l'uvre d'estompe faite par le brouillard.
Une photo trθs agrιable !
Amical salut !

Hello Mr. B,
As I look at this scene with the steep cliff-like slopes I recall the lines of a comedian who used to say, he was not afraid of heights, he was afraid of widths. The fog does not help navigate along the widths here. Wonderful shot, more dramatic with the foul weather than with clear skies.
Warm regards, and have a good weekend.

Hello Angshu,
Fog can be an interesting element in photos, if you know how to handle it!
Fog photography is way more difficult than sunshine as you have to create something special to attract attention...
I think you do well here, basically by the way the strong diagonal is used in composition..!
And the shades of green are outstanding...
Greetings,
