Two Friends on the snow

Thank you

Wonderful light and composition...

Perfect for B&W, nice choice.

Excelente luz, una imagen con gran sentido, perfecto encuadre, Saludos cordiales Akin.

Nice composition Mehmet, the two figures are well accentuated on the snowy surrounding

Beautiful winter atmosphere, great composition and tones.

I really like the mood and composition and tones of this b&w, particularly the way the two walkers stand out against the snowy, hazy background. And thanks for your comment on my recent post. Coming from a shooter with your skill, I take it as a true compliment. Regards...

I, too, like how you've burned-in the two companions and lightened their surroundings. An effective way of managing the main emotional element of the picture.

Very nice work, Mehmet!

Very nice portrayal of friendship, Mehmet. The surroundings disappear or become less important, when one is with a close friend. You caught this perfectly. Regards, Barb

A very attractive composition. Our eyes move easily from bottom right to top left, and then gradually take in the details of the rest of the image. I like where you have placed the two figures.

Great atmosphere! I like also the way you exhibit the 2 childrens!!

Congratulations

Regards Nikos.

I love the tone and contrast. Very nice shot.

Simple & nice. The snow not lost in the white bg. The 2 friends a great subject element on the path.

Excellent work Mehmet. Congratulation.

Very nice work, Mehmet. Great composition. Best regards.

Mehmet, I like the composition very much.Excellent rendition.The tonal shades are very good.

A lovely composition, Mehmet. The children's darker clothing stands out so nicely against the very white surroundings.

I suspect the original image might be quite nice, but I find this badly manipulated. While the 2 boys appear perfectly exposed, the rest of the image is overexposed and washed out; nothing really matches. I also find the excessive number of ratings in one category suspicious. This means that somebody has been "hunting" the image down through the submittal stack, just to give it a high rating, a good sign that some cheating is going on here. Most images are only visible for a limited amount of time, so once you get more than 15 ratings a rat starts to smell somewhere.

Hi Mehmet, I am surprised at John's comments, I haven't looked at the ratings but for me this is a charming, gentle scene, well treated and the final image is great. Quite worthy of appearing on a Christmas card (if that is a compliment?)

Regards Terry

REALLY A CLASSIC ONE...BEST REGARDS...

Wonderful composition Mehmet,best regards

I am not sure what John is on about. I think the photo is wonderful. Made me want to go and make a cup of hot chocolate and curl up by the fire!

As for the number of ratings...you have quality photos and it does get the attention it deserves. You truly have a special talent.

I always appreciate and am honoured when you stop and take the time to look at my photos too. Kind Regards,

Iren

A good composition with a "Norman Rockwell" feel.This would make a great postcard.

Great feel of winter here. I also like the composition. Excellent shot!
