Compliments! 6

TOLO: Gracias por tu comentario. Un abrazo.

ENRICO: Thanks for your compliments!

Very good light and picture.

WALDEMAR: Thanks a lot for your time!

Very nice shot. The color and mist work very well with the mountain background. Maybe burn the foreground a bit? There is some nice detail and color in the trees and sun on the ground that could be brought out. Good one!

CHRISTOPHER: Thanks for your good criticism. I appreciate it.

I also applaud you for a nice atmospheric image.  My suggestions would be to sharpen the image more.  I luminosity sharpened it in my version.  I'd also get rid of the black frame.  I think it detracts from the image, especially the foreground and sides.

LARRY: Thank you very much for your constructive criticism and spending your time improving my photo. I REALLY appreciate it. Thanks again!

A typical autumnal scene - very well captured and composed, Ramon. I like the special atmosphere where the fog has still to dissolve (from the colder regions in the valley(s)) whereas the blue skies can already be seen (at higher elevations / around it must be warmer)... Or was it during an evening when the fog condensed from moist air while everything was cooling down because night was arriving? Anyway, due to the fog I would not sharpen more - misty / foggy images intrinsically / immanently appear a bit blurred... However, there are limits: if it is too foggy, the image may have too low contrasts at all (in such a case nothing / no object can be identified well any longer) - but a good photographer knows. Here, everything works absolutely fine with me. BR / Volker

VOLKER: Thanks for taking time to comment. It was taken in a cold morning, just before 09AM.

Quer bonica! M'encanten els colors de la tardor i has captat perfectament aquest paisatge quasi oníric! Felicitats!!!

MARINA: Moltes gràcies. Feia molt de temps que anava darrera una foto així! Finalment me'n vaig mig ensortir...

Truly, I must disagree with Larry.

The image is charming precisely *because* it is not sharpened. It has a.. Fuji Velvia feel to it, endearing, wistful and authentic. Indeed, like any worthwhile November memory, it silences your eyes with soft sweeps of bittersweet light. A most appreciative nod to Ramon for recognising this.

D. MUNTEANU: Thanks for your kind words.
