A photo taken early at dawn. I have especially tried to work with

very little saturation of colours to record the strong feeling

of "angels passing" whether we believe in angels or not. What do you

think.

Anders, it is very unusual image. First it looks like layers, and than it looks like a sunset color in the center and blue sky on the upper part. as a fact, 2/3 of the image aside from the sky are in dim light of sundown. interesting , can you explain why it was like that? The figure adds alot to the composition, nice image. Pnina

From God's palette...

This is one of those scenes that just swallows you up. I can't think of anything I would personnally change. Some might not like the protruding branches, but I think they give a sense of place. The sharp silouette leads well into the scene and the illuminated mist and soft balanced colors really make this a special shot.

 

 

Absolutely great, Anders: 7 and 7

This photo, seen large, is fantastic.

Compositin is masterful, colours are gorgeous and that late evening light shining on the far away peak of the central mountain is a plus. Top photo, IMHO!

Thanks to both of you for your comments. The picture of the lake of Lucerne is actually taken a very early morning. The women was there when I came pass - he was there when I left - she might still be there ! The light has certainly gone. The few branches of a tree I decided to leave there in order, as you mention, to anchor the right part of the picture and give contrast. Without it, in my view, the picture becomes too flat - if you know what I mean.

Well after all I have tried without the branches and slightly cropped. What do you think Anders

Have to agreee that you could have removed the branches. Still a stunning vista, nice capture.

Looks better without the branches, not flat, because there is so much depth. Gives the impression that the woman is dreaming the scene into existence. The daylight sky is a surprise with such a dusky haze. very nice!

Russ and Peter thanks for your comments. You might be right that as the branches are presented they could be cloned away. I would however maybe prefer to add move of the trees to the left instead. All that is really a question of feeling.

Yes, it is a question of feeling and purpose and whatever way you like it, is the way it should be of course.

With the branches in the frame, you introduce another, closer plane and the woman is pushed away toward the middle distance a bit more. Why I like the branches gone is because then the woman is on the most immediate plane and that tends to make her a primary viewpoint.

 

Of course that is the illusion. The viewer is the primary plane and the actual viewpoint.

Peter this is really interesting for me, because I do not see the scene as you as a scene of a woman and a view. For me the scene is the clouds, red mist and the snow covered mountains. The woman is just looking at the scene together with us. Seeing the scene like that I therefore don't find the branches as swifting the attention away from the woman, because the intented point of attention is elsewhere.

If I accept the the way you see the scene, having the attention of the woman, I would agree with you that it would be better without the branches.

I definitely see it your way too, and like it. That way, the woman gives us scale and therefore a sense of immense depth. Also like the way her shadow is hard black.
