paolo de faveri 1 Posted August 4, 2009 I really played hide and seek with this pine tree for a while: thethick fog was moving forth and back just like waves on a shoreline.Taken a few days ago in the Alpi Marittime natural park, anotherwonderful wild area of the western Alps in Piedmont, Italy. Your C&C are as always highly appreciated, thanks in advance for yourtime. Details: EOS 50D, Tokina ATX-Pro 12-24 f4, GND 4x, tripod. Singleframe, single exposure. Link to comment
paolo de faveri 1 Posted August 4, 2009 Wow, that must be the record of all time. I had just hit "submit" and a 4/4 had already showed up. SNAFU! Link to comment
paolo de faveri 1 Posted August 4, 2009 I must correct myself, this IS the all time record. The second 4/4 appeared right away the first one. Come on guys, use your imagination, 3 is the perfect number after all Link to comment
Not Here 93 Posted August 4, 2009 Ahhh Paolo... If there are no names, the rating doesn't mean anything! As for this photo, it's very well captured with the bright stones and grass leading the eye to the cloud bank. I know the tree is purposely located at the "thirds" but I like this in a 5x7 ratio (from the bottom) with a portion of the clouds removed. Just a thought... but it's excellent as is...

whydangle 0 Posted August 4, 2009 Cropping some of the sky is a possibility, but would probably change the feeling of emptiness that it conveys regarding the lonely tree, so I say leave it as is. I can't think of much to improve, it isn't the most original photograph, but it is unique enough to hold my interest. The aesthetic quality is as good as it could be, so I vote 7/6. As far as this receiving 4/4's, well whoever doled out those scores probably can't count higher than 4, so there you go! Link to comment
paolo de faveri 1 Posted August 5, 2009 Ahah Mark! Well, seen in this way, that's the higher score they could give! So I just have to be flattered for that, right? ;-)) Thanks mate, and thanks everyone else for your comments, that's highly appreciated. Paolo Link to comment
mikeoday 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Wonderful image Paolo; the flowing/blurred creak gives a wonderful path into the image and contributes to the great sense of depth. The single tree emerging from the mist is an excellent focal point. All the best, Mike Link to comment

gminish 0 Posted August 7, 2009 Nice scene with a great mood. I love fog shots and this is a very nice one Paolo! The tree is an important part of the composition and the colorful rocks top it off. Well done. Link to comment
javier_soto2 0 Posted August 29, 2009 Has conseguido un color perfecto, muy llamativo, unido a una encudre magifico. Uso magistral de las velocidades lentas. Muchas felicidades Link to comment
dallalb 0 Posted August 31, 2009 Ciao Paolo, splendida immagine! Sembra letteralmente di entrare nel ruscello in primo piano e di lasciarsi guidare dal suo fluire dentro la fotografia, fino al bellissimo e nostalgico sfondo.... L'albero sullo sfondo è un elemento compositivo essenziale a mio parere, senza il quale questa foto non sarebbe così bella. Saluti, Alberto. Link to comment
mikestacey 0 Posted September 15, 2009 A beautiful piece Paolo. The tree is the crowning glory. - Mike Link to comment
rjmelone 3 Posted March 27, 2012 Very well seen and well captured image. The portrait orientation works well and I like the pleasant colors and slightly blurred water. Well done, Paolo!Best regards, Rob Link to comment
helenclement 0 Posted March 27, 2012 I looked at this and went "very nice". Love the colours and the colour of the sky is amazing. I like the lead up from the rocks in the foreground to the tree. Overall a lovely photograph. Link to comment
