This photo is incredible. The ominous feel that the fog and the color bring to the image just throw it over the top. The curvy road makes the photo exciting.
If you can, try to imagine what this photo looked like before it's edits. Now, try to think about when, where, and how the photo was taken. Based on the shadows and the fog, it's pretty obvious this was taken early in the morning. Odds are pretty good it was taken using a tripod or a monopod.
As I stare at the photo more, I ask myself "If I were to make the fog using GIMP, how would I do that?" "How did they get that sepia tone?" and also "did they make exposure adjustments using gimp to bring out a bit of extra contrast in the grass and the road? If so, what would be the best method of duplicating that in GIMP? The curves tool? an Overlay with a grayscale copy of the layer?" There are several different ways to do the same thing, but all tools work a little differently. You have to think about all of the possibilities.
This my friends, this is how you learn how to edit photos with Gimp.
