Transparency...

Thanks, Pnina

Lake in Galilee.

 

Please comment your thoughts, Thanks , Pnina

The lake has been described as a beautiful azure blue jewel set in a pastoral valley. I wonder how it look in color. However, i like this transparency too. Shalom.

I dont know the place nor a description, so this is my No 1. Absolute taste!

Very painterly with nice tones and composition. My guess is that a color version would not have this nice serene effect.

Spencer, that is a lake in Galilee, but not the one you think of, it is called "Agmon Hachula", and there all the groups of migrating birds are having their meals...

 

I'm uploading the colored version for all of you to see, and tell me which is better in your eyes.

Ken, special thanks to you for so much work...

 

Thanks, Pnina

Although no problem with taking decisions fundamentally I mean in this case there is no "better". I think you "refined" a picture.

Very nice indeed.. both look well, although the direct foreground looks some better in the 'normal' version, I understand youre choice.

I prefer your loaded version, Pnina. Something different. Good choice.

The color version gave me the sense of reality and a good feeling of calmness and peace. How great it's in a promise land.

Good title Pnina,it looks transparent.I like the sparkeling grass in front and how it goes on in lines and horizon Very peaceful and tender.

Pnina, the colored version is just like any ordinary shot. But the image uploaded,with sepia tone, is a piece of Art. I agree with what DP has commented.

Oh Pnina, I like this. I seem to feel the calm and peace of the Eternal.....Jim

Excelente color y bella reflexion, un cordial saludo Pnina,,,6/6.

Pnina, your sepia version unifies the image wheras the colour divides it. The feeling of tranquillity (which is there in the colour version) is stronger in the sepia version. Good choice.

As for me, increasing the contrast of this shot, would improve it. But still - very nice shot.

To all of you! for expressing your point of view, which is importent.

 

Spencer, come to the promised land!, I promis to be your guide!

 

Igor, nice to see you, thanks for your suggestion. I think that as the far part was really far, it is better as it is without increasing the contrast so transparensy is well seen.

Makes me feel sleepy, nicely layerd image. peacefull.

Pnina you made it much more beautiful as it is!lovely done.

Thanks Pnina dearest, I will be there, and don't forget your promise. ;~D Shalom

Mike, ohhhhh, it is a long absence !really glad to meet you here,Is it to stay?....I can tell you that if you think you can sleep there, forget it! the nois the cranes are doing in that lake can awake the dead....lol

 

Shuki, beautiful place, especially now with all the bird migration!

 

Spencer,when? I don't forget,will be real nice to meet you!Shalom.

Pnina, both versions create a mood of tranquility with their mirrored symmetry and smooth gradations. Each conveys a slightly different moods -- I would have a hard time choosing.

Both versions are beautiful, but the sepia one is a bit moodier and more alluring to me. (But I don't see any of the thousands of trees I planted as a Hebrew School student in America.)

Sepia version hast the best mood in it ..... my pick.

The colour version shows that you had nice soft light, Pnina. The toned version is moodier and more evocative, but the colour version is still very appealing. I would prefer less saturation in the toned version, but that's entirely a personal thing.

 

The only thing that the toned version loses slightly is the nice soft selective lighting on the foreground reeds. I would probably try to bring that out again in the toned version.
