I like the frame filling presentation and the colours. Whilst I appreciate the mist I would have been tempted to draw out a little more detail in the buck.
Hi John -- These misty scenes are difficult to make, especially when it is concerned with details and form, not sure how much one should go for it. If you retain the mist then mid tones look flat and getting more mid tones looses the misty feel, so it is a tricky situation , I guess it is more of an individual's call.
I liked the framing and the feel to it , and as mentioned above a bit more detail in the buck would make it even better.
TFS !
Not a fan of the too-much-mist in this image and the dark clump lower center. The framing is spot on.

Hi John, if the image was capture in ETTR then the Raw should look minimal and flat, almost monochromatic perhaps and this would also help with any noise gained by the higher ISO? If you again, get the WB equal and you know how with LR, this will give you a good cornerstone to build on. As soon as you do this and with some Curves adjustments suddenly the image takes on a much great appearance where you can then hone it to what your memory recollects, or how you wish to portray it to the viewer. To me it's way to warm for a misty morning and so it needs to go cooler on the temp. I also used negative Dehaze to 'soften' the whole image in terms of Contrast to help added to a bit more of a misty mood setting??????
As mentioned in the feedback above, framing works bit the dark clump of foliage needs to be removed.
