Rays of light

Sunbeams at sunset above the clouds and just at the end of a snowfall.... on a road closed for avalanches' danger....

Thanks

Great shot. This is such a strong composition that it might be better presented without the frame and title. Looks like a good deal of patience paid off for you.

Amazing light over the beautiful layers of clouds & mountains. Nature is so awesome.

Excelente!! tono, encuadre,saturacion y forma una bella composicion. Saludos

Fai delle foto una piu' bella dell'altra. Anch'io avrei preferito la cornice con il titolo un po' meno in evidenza. E non mi piace tanto neanche la riga arancio, ma e' questioni di gusti e non riguarda lo scatto che e' molto bello.

Great timing. Great composition. Great shot

Fantastic light and composition!

Beautiful Light,Excellent Composition.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback.

 

To Patrick: yes, I was a bit doubtful too about the framing and the title. Probably I overdid it.

 

To Cherlyn: It was absolutely an incredible view. The colours came out in a minute as the sun had been hidden in the clouds for some hours. When I saw this I almost fainted!

 

Per Daniele: Grazie! Sto mettendo su le mie foto preferite di quelle che ho scattato da quando ho comprato la mia prima macchina digitale (luglio 2004). Ne ho circa 2000 sull'hard disk, ma questo non significa che le mettero' su tutte! Il tuo e l'apprezzamento degli amici di photo.net mi riempie di orgoglio e anche un pizzico di stupore. Grazie.

Per quanto riguarda la riga e il titolo, come ho gia' detto a Patrick, credo voi abbiate ragione. Questa volta ho esagerato... anche con gli spessori. Probabilmente carichero' ancora la stessa foto senza alcuna cornice.

Very nice picture, it's looking like a landscape of heaven. good job!

beautiful!!

Fantastic Stefano. Very nice rays of light shining through the haze. Colors are just incredible.

Thanks to all those who commented for the nice words.

Splendid shot, really mystic atmosphere and beautiful sun rays! I'm not an expert, it's obvious to see that, but from my small experience I could suggest a small technical trick for improving the landscape shots or any scene. It's the sharpening technique in small steps. You may apply unsharp mask with, lets say amount of 100 or more, but with small radius between 2 or 3. You could do that for 2 or more times and you will notice the difference. Not too spectacular results, but better. Here is an example attached.

Success and best wishes! Alin

Hi Alin, I see your point. Probably in the example you overdid it a bit (white borders around outlines), but it was OK to give me an idea. Soon I will post a new version of the same image applying the advices I received from you. Thanks a lot for participating.
