I like it this way, except for the fog as Jamie Ferguson said "a bit too thick to be real". Forget the duck you'll ruin the great atmosphere (my opinion).
Great Work!

Hello Ben:
Just discovered your comment on "Where the Bird Flew." Good ideas all! Rarely do I post an image that I consider a "fait accompli." They are nearly all works in progress, and opinions such as yours -- especially yours! -- are highly valued.
I've been working in dutone a good deal lately because I am creating my composites with publication in mind -- and the economic reality is that the majority of images will be either duotone or B&W. We both know what happens when publishers attempt color conversions. The muted tones in your version of "Bird" are a great compromise -- something that hadn't occurred to me. Also, the glowing clock is an excellent idea.
The school bus has departed, so it's off to see the new work you just uploaded.
All my best,
Jim

Hi Ben!
Welcome to UF. As usual, I'm a little late to the party, but it's great to see you here.
I very much like the placement and posture of the nymphs who seem to be cautiously making their way through the fog. Technically, increasing the transparency of the fog would certainly improve the "realism" of this scene.
My sense from the title is that you are approaching this as an "atmosphere" piece. I see the potential for much more than that. There are many symbolic interpretations for fog, but here I envision the fog as a malign force that is separating the nymphs from the earth and the source of their power.
Remember Magritte's "Black Magic" where Georgette's upper torso is a pastel blue and matches the sky behind her, while her lower body is the same warm tones of the surrounding building? I can't help but wonder that if you added a slight tone to the fog, then also the same tone to the lower torso of the nymphs, if it wouldn't give this scene a new dimension?
Another technical issue for me is the light sky, which attracts the eye and competes with the foreground for attention. Again, this would take the scene away from your original intentions, but a darker and more foreboding sky would certain heighten the tension and add interest here.
Time to pack get my own nymph off to school. All my best, Jim

Maybe, the fog is to tick... I still want to do some corrections ... I would like to add a realistic duck, fying out of the mist, at the left under corner. Would it be better?

Hmm this one looks fairly realistic on the thumbnail but I think the fog is just a bit too thick to be real, maybe try applying it in layers so it seems thicker as you go further back. Great idea though!
