Composite of three images.

Stunningly beautiful. Each photography combines perfectly to form a Victorian painterly image.

Thanks, Roberta. You made some pertinent remarks in your forum post. I used a stone as my texture layer. I blended it with the tree and sheep image using a displacement map. Suprisingly it gave the impression of distant mountains.

Azé remélem, kattintás után rendet raktál a szobádban :DDD

Definitely one of my favorites in this theme. Strangely, it seems some people are living (?) in this place.

thanks a lot, folks.
jaco, it's a simple long exposure image (how long is crucial), slightly photoshopped (curves, unsharp mask, contrast), no hdri.
bio, you're right, the only things what make this image work are the dynamics of the brighter-darker parts and the signs of inhabitedness. és ne is álmodj róla, várom a bejárónőt.
philippe, i did not check it any closer than this but i think the same. surely not the regular ikea stuff and style, but there are obvious articles for personal use.

very nice composition, a bit busy though.
Maybe a b&w version could be better.

Wonderful job. It would be even more remarkable if you would place a figure in the image at low opacity to give him a ghostly apperance.

Interesting scene! Makes me curious!

Well conceived and executed.

I'm glad this made it. I think the mood and fiction of this photo are fantastic.

Thanks for the feature and comments. Philippe, this image is title "The Road To Heaven" and I was aiming for a dark, almost eerie feel. The trees help provide that I think. Also the trees and birds go together.

It's just an opinion and I understand your point. I like the general atmosphere of this picture, anyways.

really love the design elements! awesome work! keep posting 'em! wow!

Roberta, wonderfully moody image. My kind of shot.

o_O
This is incredible. Did you post-process or were there really such colours? I'm guessing sunrise?
Beautiful shot in any case!

No, no, only one simple graduate red cokin filter, in photoshop only smart sharp and levels.

Thanks for your comment!

Absolutely incredable light well captured. Who else but photographers ever take the trouble to see such sights as these?

The over the top colors really hurts this shot. Too bad because this would be pretty otherwise.

I am with Daniel...personal preference I suppose, but the color is unnatural and detracts from the subject.

Seems a little soft, but I like how the empty space adds to the mood. Good shot!

Pose is good, but unfortunately, pic is slightly blurry (not a real issue though) and to "greyish" to me... Would benefit a bit of tweaking with contrast and curves i guess.

Yes, it's soft and the mood isn't defined enough for me. Also, I personally would consider it a loss because of the wet spot on his mouth (or I'd fix it in Photoshop). I agree that it's a nice pose and composition. Love the dark space and tone.

The little bit of softness I think is pleasing. I like, also, the negative space on the left.

I lacks a bit of sharpness, but it looks inspired by Chinese aquarel art.

I'm not really sure the idea of minimalism includes real life subjects. It's supposed to be clean lines and fairly abstract really.

I think this is a fine example of minimalism in the natural world. Same with the sharpness, the bird looks sharp to me. I enjoyed this image and appreciate the effect the white background has on the image over all.

Great photo for minimalism. Nice colors in the bird as well!

Excellent use of negative space.

I think this photo has a lot of potential. I personally find my eye drawn back over and over to the signature as the dominant part of the photo - I might suggest (as I have been told myself) that you do not add a signature to photos you post here. Disregarding the signature line, I also feel that the left dark portion of your photo is too dominant and should be cropped. The sun reflected on the water and the netting on top are nice touches.

I agree with about everything Sher said. Sig is distracting, too much domination from the left. You have a good location and great timing, just wish it was framed different...

Wonderful capture of the colors of the sky and water. The only thing I would add to the previous comments is to level out the horizon. If you were going for an angled shot, I would suggest making the angle more pronounced.

Too much dark area. Negative space can be very constructive sometime but I feel that in this image it is overbering.

Nice landscape, this probably fits very well in reflections or backlighting. I agree about the dark area, it's too dominant and isn't helping the balance.

Nice eye required to see and isolate this graphic shot.

Great composition. Has an old film emulsion feel to it.

Thanks. It was shot on film, 125 Plus X, but there was so much junk in the air I'm amazed it's even in focus.
