Your ideas and comments are highly valued...

Nice idea, exposure and matting.

 

Too bad the wooden fence does not lead the viewer into the scene.

I like the lines the fence and the trees in the background describe. Well done.

Nice shot, Jiri. The lighting is interesting and exposure just right. I like how the lines of trees create layers where the eye can wander.

Thank you all for your comments.

 

GS: I knew that it would have been way better with the fence leading in even when shooting. But there was no way I could manage to compose it so. If I panned a bit to the right, there would be fewer of the layered trees and the eye would be led to a few rather un-pretty buildings on a border of a village. So I had to compromise a bit... I hope it works well this way too...

Jiri, a striking effect with the patches of light and the strong lines of the fence. A distinctive and memorable image.

I agree with Colin that you have a striking effect here. I do not see much of a problem with leading the eye into the frame, I guess it depends on the viewer. The diagonal of the fence is complimentary to those of the crepuscular sunbeams. The paterns of light and dark formed by the clouds serve well enough to draw me in. Good photograph Jiri!

By the way, I'm shooting more NPC now myself. It helps with those high contrast snow scenes for certain. Regards.

Jiri, especialy good light, very interesting how it is dispersed between the lines of trees, and its diagonal direction in the sky, which is echoing the diagonal of the fence( angle). beautiful image.

very nice shot which looks great in B&W

Ahoj Jiri, kde to je?

lovely lines, I like the fence line leading us to the image, the fact , it does not start at the left edge makes the fantastic composition.

 

P.s. I have some Czech landscapes in Bohemina summer folder and now in the winter - Last update folder)

Thanks to you all...

It's very nice landscape, Jiri. Very good composition and light.

A very good layered composition, with sunrays connecting sky and land. Nice play of light and shadow on the ground. Very good tonal quality.

 

Cheers

I like how the relative sizes of the distant trees play out in layers, as if connected by a string. They remind me of Christmas ornaments. Each one has its own little personality. The foregroud parallels the top line on the distant hill. Thanks for the ideas Jiri :o) I may use this one someday...

Magic photo. Actually, I find the fence kind of "teasing", rather than being in the way. Yes, it indeed depends on the viewer's preferences. I like it this way. Jo, Vysocina je krasna. Just pity people haven't taken a better care of the country.
