A Small Stream

I appreciate your critiques. Thank you.

You're giving me the chills, my dear

Really overexposed (and grainy?), but I like it. I comes out almost as a painting or a dream. Nice...

Has so much potential but I think you need to reduce the brightness to bring the details of the landscape out. I am no expert, but it may be worth a try. DB

Thanks Ken and Terje for your comments.

 

Yes Ken, it was very, very cold that day. I was happy to be back home again after a long walk through a beautiful white snowy wood.

 

Hi Terje, I'm honoured you like my picture and even call it a dream or a painting, inspite it is in your opinion overexposed. And maybe it is, but really not through the sunlight (LOL). It was very misty that day. Maybe that's the reason.

Thank you Daniel for your nice comment. I gonna try out your advice. Hope I will succeed. I'm not sure because I'm still a relative beginner. I hope somebody can tell me what to do.

ik kan je natuurlijk nergens mee helpen. Maar ik vind het gewoon een fantastisch mooie plaat. Ik had hem graag gemaakt...

Ik ben blij dat er meer van die stumpers rond lopen zoals ik! Ja, ik kan er niks aan doen hoor maar je zegt het zelf! (LOL). Ik ben wel blij dat je mijn foto de moeite waard vindt en leuk dat je even langs kwam!

 

groetjes, Ada.

I'd like to see this larger - very pleasing composition, Ada.

Very Poetic Ada, I like it. transmite the weather condition in a delicate way. Pnina

Taking pictures on a misty day is not easy as colours usually are very wash out. You have done nicely here, making it look almost like a painting. Nice artwork.

At first I really like it. Thought you altered it until I read that you have real snow. I`m still waiting for it (raining all the time). Great high key effect. I don`t think it`s overexposed but a bit more texture on the background trees would be good. Just let the wind blow the snow westwards over me ;-)

 

All the best, Edgar

Kim, thank you for visiting me. I should like to be able to show this picture larger, but I don't know how to do that. Upload my picture in a bigger format perhaps? I always take 680. I hope you or anybody else can tell me.

 

Thank you Pnina for your kind words. I couldn't wait till I was able to upload a new picture on PN. I still can't handle my camera yet, but I have enough pictures in stock.

 

Hi Cherlyn, it's not easy like you said, to make a nice shot in this circumstances. I'm not completely satisfied with this pic but as other people talk about painting and dreams, than I think it is still a good shot. Thank you very much for your kind comment.

 

Hallo Edgar, nice to have you here. Alas, but I can't send you the snow, because there was now snow here, only rain yesterday. So that was what I've sending eastwards to you.

This shot is from one month ago. I'm a bit handicapped at the moment. I have had a little operation at my hand (triggerfinger) so I can't make any pictures at the moment. But I'm able to operate my computer with my other hand and I've uploaded an oldy. I do that more often, particular with my self-portaits and nudes, they are even more older than only one month! (LOL).

Nice to hear you like my snowshot. I can not send you snow but I send you arid weather for tomorrow.

 

Best regards to all of you, Ada.

I think this is a great impressionistic photo. Leaves something to dream about. Bit larger would be nice. Talented family :-) Geen stumperdje!!!!!

great composition! feeling of a cold winter day,

very good image Ada!

High key? Looks like a really fine work with exposure. As much light as there can be to make the cold feeling, but not too much to keep the tree tops visible. And I share the commendations about the tones and composition.

Dit is echt heel mooi Ada.

Prachtige compositie in pastel tinten.

Niets, helemaal niets op aan te merken.

Mag zo aan de wand bij mij en dat betekend..........7/7

 

Bedankt Hans voor het compliment. Het feit dat jij mij in elk geval geen stumperdje vindt, geeft me weer voldoende zelfvertrouwen om door te gaan. En wat mijn familie betreft, tja, dat is een verhaal apart, zeer getalenteerd inderdaad, en juist vanwege dat ook wel een beetje maf.(LOL)

 

Hi Detlef, I'm grateful you like my little wintershot too. It was cold, yes very cold that day. My fingers were nearly frozen, but I can't take pictures with handclothes on. Can you?;-)

 

Very happy to see you here, Andrey, and even more happy you are so enthusiastic about my shot. One question: can you discribe what you mean exactly with 'high key'? I can not find that expression in my dictionary.

 

Hoi Wim, ik ben erg trots op je grote waardering voor mijn werkstukje. Heb er wel even op gezeten voor het naar mijn zin was en toen nog twijfelde ik natuurlijk weer aan alle kanten. Ik wil het alleen graag wat groter kunnen laten zien, kun je me advies geven hoe ik dat moet aanpakken. Heeft het iets met de afbeeldingsgrootte bij het uploaden te maken? Ik pak altijd 680 breed en 600 hoog. Bij anderen zie ik vaak de mogelijkheid 'larger' en dat is bij mijn foto's nooit het geval. Het moet dus wel aan mij liggen.

Heb je trouwens Hans zijn commentaar gelezen? Dat laatste complimentje betreft ook jou Wim!;-)

Another fantastic morning frost picture. I love this one with the river it adds to the cold feeling.

As I understand, "high key" means that the image contains mostly light tones may be deliberately overexposed. The difference between "overexposed" and "high key" is that the latter is aesthetically attractive (contrast on important details is kept high enough), and the "overexposed" is just a meter failure (nothing to do with this photo of yours :).
