Make for a beautiful card. Beautiful scenery.

There is as dream

beautiful!

 

fantastic..

Very nice. This image has a very pastel, dreamlike look. Excellent composition.

There are a lot of good things going here, but I really, really wish the birds weren't so close to the edge of the frame. The way this is lit, the birds are almost glowing, and it's a beatiful effect, but with that, positioning them so close to the edge takes some of the potential away for me. I might also have framed this to remove the patch of grass at the lower left. Either that or positioned the camera so that there was a little bit more of the grass, allowing it to act as an anchor point.

Don't get me wrong, you've made a very nice photo here. These are just my suggestions to perhaps make it even better.

 

Anish

I respectfully disagree with Anish. It is a dream like photo and should not be changed. I like it a lot the way it is. How can you even consider playing with dremas? (Ha Ha)

 

Why shouldn't you consider playing with dreams? That's what digital photography is all about! Anyway I want to add my opinion that this image is terrific and ethereal. If I had shot it I would put it on my wall. I also would move the geese a little toward the right, but that's no knock on this stunning winner of an image.

Very moody, Drama of light and colors . Agreat Landscape.

I'm with Anish... The grass in the lower left is troubling.. in this digital age clone it out!! What a stunning image! Oh and next time give it more room to breathe... it is very tightly cropped. I suspect you did this because of other things that crept into the frame when you backed out... none the less I would like to have seen a bit more space for teh one bird and the tree on the top right. Nits only here it's still a keeper!

Thank you all for your comments. I am personally not disturbed by the grass on the left side, but I hoped to receive comments about the difference between the two versions of this picture (the first one is in my Last Update folio). I found a big difference in the mood of these two similar pictures. What do you think about ?

very well done ,superb,warm regards-siamak

Very poetic image, with strong light and composition.

Absolutely stunning, in it's peacefulness, wonderful vision.

Really beautiful work, Fernand! Hartelijke groeten, Ruud.

La difference de traitement est subtile mais capitale. Tu as intensifie la luminosite de certaines parties, ce qui lui donne un plus grand relief. Je prefere aussi la couleur plus bleue du ciel et de la riviere.

Amazing image.

 

Is an IR isn't it?

Did you do a custom WB to the green?

 

Excelent composition Fernand and a nice dreaming mood!

Gustavo, it's only a frosted landscape, consequently no IR effect.

Regards, Fernand

very romantic scene. I like the grass left, it gives the water a direction. wonderful mood, cheers Jana

Fernand, this image is magical. Alone with the trees, water and sky, the image is strong. But then the birds repeat the light and dark contrast adding an amazing element of interest. Very excellent composition.

Really good effect! The way the trees glow is so special.

It's like a dream...., great shot, congrats.

Oneiric --- very nice, indeed. compliments -koushik
