It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Love the depth to the image with those dark shadows against the white featureless sky. With that nice lead in line of the track I'm undecided if I like the runners where they are or if I would of preferred them further to the right of the frame so the track didn't lead out of the frame but take you too them?

I see what you are getting at, and I think compositionally you are probably right. My only worry is that they would vanish even more into the fog! I did wait for them to be between trees so they would show-up against the fog.

I see what Gareth is getting at but further away the runners would be much less significant whereas as you have caught it they form the focus of the picture - visualise it without them and you see what I mean.

+1. There needs to be something to catch the eye between the LH tree and the clump on the right.

The comments on this image certainly confirm that small details can make quite a difference in the overall image. My mind's eye would be happy to see just the one bigger runner right where they are, but running in the opposite direction. But that's not how it happened, and the image is a fine one.
