Speaking of mist, I liked "In a Mist" exactly for the same reasons Het Blumper disliked it for. The lack of a centre which makes the eye bounce around the photo is just how I often experience mist in reality. Therefore the picture gives me a feeling of being there. It helps, of course, that I absolutely love mist and fog. 🙂 (I would insert one of my favourite poems here, if it were not in German. 😉 )
For anyone who's interested it was taken at the top of Mount Adams (if memory serves) in New Hampshire. I had spent hours climbing the 5774ft and at the top it was so misty, wet and cold I couldn't see anything. But I was so hot from climbing I was wearing only a t-shirt!
Hopefully, this is the final, correct table...

Thanks very much.

Originally posted by The PlumberI think I prefer the less cropped version. I like it with a lot of the salt plain included to show the vastness of the emptyness, which is dotted with "islands" like the one I took it from. I think sometimes that vast nothingness can be interesting and add to/make a photo. Just my own thoughts. I'm a bit biased though. 😉
I took the liberty of cropping it to see if I really would like it better. Tell me what you think: http://www.kailey.biz/photos/393141256eGcLxM_ph.jpg
(Ignore the increased fuzziness - I'll take it down after you've had a chance to look at it.)
You never said whether you preferred the cropped version or the one I submitted. 🙂

Go to http://www.joshmadison.com/software/ and download some freeware called "convert." Great program for converting English to metric and vice versa.
Originally posted by RagnorakWell, in that case... What about this one? http://home.online.no/~khgott/393141256eGcLxM_ph.jpg 🙂 I didn't really get an impression of vastness and emptyness before, because there was about the same amount of island as of the salt plain. I didn't really like to cut off that cactus on the right, though. But I still like the cropped version better. Hmm, now that the cactus is gone, it might be an idea to crop a bit at the bottom, too.
