Great detail and color. DoF is good too.

thank you Jeff!
I was lucky since this one was not shy at all

Wonderful. Love the detail.

I had the same thought in regards to that dark tree - hate messing about with nature sometimes:-)

Best,
Jon

i just want to say : wouw

This is a great picture! I don't mind the dark tree so much. Nature is imperfect and beautiful at the same time.

I enjoy this image a lot. I like the warmth of he colors and the sharp contrast of the snow.

I love the contrast of the white snow and the yellow leafes...beautiful shot...I agree with the comments above...the scene seems very realistic...some each one of us could experience...great job!

Always the same strange light in your pics. How do you obtain this ? Is it HDR, or any filter ?...

MMeye, it was sunset, sun shined from very low angle. Неrе is no filters or photoshop.

Shame on me, when reading your answer I realize that I forgot to say that I love the pic... Great shot, Maria.

Nice colours.

I love the framing with the flowers in the foreground

I love this one for its simplicity

I do too!

Beautiful composition - very unusual, but it works, doesn't it! This is very contrasty - almost a litho in some places, but extremely effecitve. I feel like it needs some straightening - it needs to come left, but maybe that's just me. Lovely work! Makes a great impact.

Best, Jon

I love this one a lot for its feeling of lonelyness. The overall composition and the division into two parts is great.
Still the bright/overexposed area above the person is a little bit destracting and the trees could be more vertical

The heavy contrast in this shot really adds an element of cold. I love it!

fits this theme perfect!

I agree about the trees..... I want them to be vertical.
But gosh, this is amazing and wonderful.
And a fave.
I love how this looks.

Yes, well done, this time it fits the topic ;-)
The panoramic size is a very good idea, which enhances this low sky. Good work, Karin !

thank you :-)

Perfect light! beautiful sky and golden field!

Wow! Beautiful, the foam and the below-the-ground formation.
I've got only one thing I would like to see diffrent: the composition of the big white shell and the little red one behind it. It would be better if the red one wasn't there.

Ah, sfkp is right, I didn't see any shells here, thought this was a strange bird :-/
A great composition, but the foreground lacks in sharpness and contrast to me

i agree with sfkp, the little red shell is a bit disturbing but nice shot

I really like this. The bubbles on the water are great. I agree that the red shell next to the white shell makes it look a little like a bird, but I kind of like it.

I agree with sfkp about the red shell.

Composition wise, the shells and the foam line aren't really working together for me. It might be better with the focus on the foam and the shells a little further off.

an impressive mountain and captured very well. It comes out like an old postcard, I am not sure if I like that. I would prefer more tonal width in the greys and more details in the forest. But perhaps this is only my personal taste :-)

good picture but in my humble opinion, this pic lack a bit of detail in the forest and also the texture from the cloud if you wanna make it "perfect"

I like very much - the composition is very strong - light is gorgeous and your use of space is just right! Thanks for sharing. Btw, Ple's comments are very applicable.

Best,
Jon

i like this picture and it is obviously perfect for the topics but i agree with austriaka, i'd like to have a little more details

Nice toning; nice composition.

Thanks for the comments.

I think the failure from this image is that i put the sharp area a little bit to low, and i don't have a line that lead into this crack :)

The other problem that i faced is in this Black and white version it is not easy to make it saw like ice rather than mud :( it is a lack of experience on me.

Sorry about my bad English. Since i moved to Germany and have to speak in Germany it is difficult for me to start again talking and typing in English

ple,

Great attempt.
I have viewed this photo a few times now.
As everyone else says, you have something here, just refine it a bit.
Lack of experience can only be overcome by attempts and failed attempts.
Keep shooting.
Looking forward to more of this type!

technically it's very interesting but i don't understand exactly what i see so it's difficult to say if it fits or not to the topics and if i like it or not

reynertz, it's okay, i made this pic mostly based on technical thing, because i just learnt something from internet :), but i miss the "mood" thing. thank you for your appreciation

This would have been interesting on a horizontal level too. I like the concept. I agree that it's too tall.

I like the backlight and how you have blocked the sun.

content de te retrouver par ici. La photo me semble un peu fouillis et si je vois ce qui a pu te plaire dans la lumière , je trouve que la photo n'arrive pas vraiment à transmettre cette émotion.

I agree with jvgphoto.... I can tell it was an amazing site, but shooting into the sun will totally rob you of your vision, unfortunately. It may help to do some darkening with the levels slider on the bottom half of this photo.

Thank you all for your input!
Especially thanks to jvgphoto, the sentence "The camera doesn't see as you see" is remarkable :-)

the place is nice but it seems like there is too much things in the shot and so it's difficult to concentrate on it
