This is a beautiful photo..a good composition & great colors.

the colors are breathtaking!!

This is a superb picture...the crisp, saturated colors turn this photo into a work of art. Very well done!

Beautiful perspective.

Fantastic lines, colour contrast and details !

Congrats,

Great composition. What a place!

a great piece of art in any respect.

Excllent! very nice photo, good work.

Wow these colours!

Wow! Great lines and colours. I love the vanishing point. If I were an elf, I know what I'd be doing some Sunday night.

This is so beautiful. Your lines and the colors are excellent. I also wish I was an elf.

Fabulous...the lines are so perfect...Classic RGB color mix. A rare 7/7 from me.

This is a great "textbook" photo. In this instance the photographer has skillfully identified an appealing image but I find this so linear that it actually lacks feeling. The great test of these images for me is whether I would want them on my wall. The answer is no because beyond the color and lines I'm not sure I feel much else. There is a lack of communal harmony among the elements - they feel segmented and aloof.

 

On one other point I'm a little disappointed that the images' author felt that after having Velvia film, a polarizer, and early morning light that there would be a need to saturate this further in Paintshop. It just seems like overkill.

Doug, I agree in principle with the concern about over saturated images, but he says 'slightly, and I take him at his word. I think you do need the strong red to balance the green. The straight lines do have the effect of speeding up the eye's movement to the point of convergence. but they also accentuate the slight curve in the tree. If the tree was less attractive and less visually important than it is, I'd see a problem.

An other excellent picture.

It's great. Color and lines very very good.

 

What's scanner do you use?

 

Sorry for my english.

 

Bye. Asdoo

The photo would be excellent even if colours were a bit less saturated. It's the mood of the fog and the details in the branch that makes it, IMO, together with the green-red contrast.

This is no longer photography, but art. Wonderful!

I agree that the colours are a bit too Walt Disney but nevertheless, a great shot!

 

Barry Needle.

This is a fine composition. The colors are raised way beyond the relm of Velvia and indeed resemble a Walt Disney cartoon. They detract from the wonderful composition. Is every one on PN now so color blind we think this is 'normal'? Included is the same scene rendered in a platinum type B&W tone. I for one think it is lovely. Perhaps others do as well.

I hate to ask. . . . . Would you care to upload an unsaturated color version, just for fun?

This topic may not belong here... but has anyone studied people's response to colour? I just love colour.. but I'm wondering is this like a child's like of candy... ie an immature response to art (I'm new to photography, and I've always been a techie, not an artist, but I'm working on that:)

 

There is something about Jaap's photos that I find amazing... I think it's the colour and the symmetry. I just *love* them.

o.k. I am pretty much blown away by your photography.

it's wonderful
