    Hello Hannu! I do like this your excellent Cloud Chain!

    Clouds in the sky always makes me wishing to caputure them! This your excellent choice of using "Less Is More" gave a lovely effect and much beauty due to the soft use of light and beautiful colors Hannu!

    Very very good job!

    Wish you all the very Best Hannu!

    Absolutely Beautiful Shoot Jody!

    This BIF is excellent and very good - exactly as they silently "dive" to get the catch maybe a fieldmouse!

    In the south Sweden we now have a year of "invasion" from up north to south a several hawk-owls and I have for first time in my life seen this in wild!

    Your photo is just so perfectly and well done!

    It a joy to see this Photo-Gem Jody!

     

    Wish you all the Very Best! (7/7)

  1. Hello from Sweden!

    This your photo is amazing - and I would wish to almost say - it is much like a Vision - the Earth is beautiful - that is what you are showing here in this excellent and very good photo!

    This is one of the very best photos I ever seen captured from the famous Yosemite!

    I can just look and look and enjoy this "Vision of Silvery Moonlight and winter stars silently watching over the beautiful landscape!

    I real pleasure to behold sir!

    Thanks for sharing and publishing this Photo-Gem!

     

    Wish you all the Best!

  2. Hello Nathan! Very clean colors you managed and to that you have made a perfect exposure and very nice close-up to this smallest bird that is so very cute in my eyes!

    I really like these small birds that stays all-year and do not migrate!

    We also have similar species here in Sweden but with small differences!

    Also I enjoy the perfect sharpness and the perfect very important focus in your excellent bird portrait!

    By the way I wish to bring a special THANK to you Nathan for your good advice about which DSLR to choose for BIF and for birds particularly in the Forums!

    Wishing you all the very Best!

    Dear Sir,

     

    Your photo shows an amazing Completeness in Every Detail!

    Highly enjoyable!

    Very good and excellently balanced composition, with a very beautiful and subtle low-key-light exposure and the background being the very perfect dot to the "i"!

    Thanks for sharing this well of inspiration for flower photography with high artistic quality and level as well!

     

    Wishing you all the Best!

  3. Dear Skilled Photographers,

     

    May I address this question that I have noticed - about all the days that

    there is no bright or direct sun shine but the sky is covered with grey

    clouds and the rain is hanging in the air - I have somehow noticed that

    the photos which are taken on these grey-conditions are less

    appreciated in a general sense...however this present capture is exactly exposed on a day today (Saturday 29th of September 2012 in

    Stockholm about 5:15 P.M.) with these conditions of lack of sunshine -

    yet - do you still "feel" the light present in this flower photo of the

    ancient flowers with the name of Rudbeckia?

    Is the composition vs shallow dept of field with fully open aperture (2.8)

    of this Canon EF 200mm f/2.8L IS USM Macro lens handheld?

    I would very much appreciate your spontaneous thoughts and

    impressions of this one "sun-less-on-grey-cloudy-day" photo!

    Wishing you all the very best and a nice week-end as well!

  4. Dear Sir, Just wish to tell how much I do appreciate sense and feeling of the a unique kind of tranquility from this beautiful spot and the composition is skillfully adding to the wholeness by giving a beautiful and subtle balance, between the bluish cool colors above and the most sense-tickling feeling of the fog and then to be contrasted to the warmer nuances of the special colors that is characterizing that the autumn season has arrived into the forest and woods! The lake with the name of Reflection Lake at Mount Rainier in Washington Stat is a very suitable name and the lake and still waters do make justice to the over-all expression and impression of this image, when someone is enjoying this -your great Photo-Gem! Thank you Stephen for sharing this Master Photo with us! Wishing you Stephen, and your whole family - all the very best and may God Bless! Charl PS. Thank you for your good advice with my city-scape of Stockholm! I do appreciate your advice very much - I never have thought about making two RAWs and merging them together! Just genial advice! Warm thank to you sir!

  5. Dear Sir,

    I find this your beautiful landscape of Cothach Beach to simply be a Perfect Early Morning Landscape!

    Well balance when keenly examine the photo elements that you have chosen to build up your photo from the position you where placing you camera on.

    The stones are important part to build the virtual feeling of dept and the heaven holds nicely the colors of the the dawn in the hour of early morning!

    Also the wet stones are very effectual in order to add the feeling of the ocean and water into your photo and by the rather long exposure time creating the special design of the moving waters and waves!

    A very good and excellent photo!

    Congratulations sir!

     

    Wishing you all Best and many nice photo occasions in future!

    Dear Sir,

     

    I do wish to express my admiration for your skillful use of the available light!

    Shortly - by the very subtle way of capturing and preserving the LIGHT in the perfect balanced exposure!

    My wish would be to maybe centre the single rose to be alone and not to have the red other flower petals to draw some attention for the main subject that must be the single rose alone.

    However I can also understand and see the benefit of leaving some area to the right in your photo in order to give some a-symmetric balance to the whole photo as well as adding some more colors!

    Thanks for sharing this Master Piece of Photographic Gem!

    Wishing you all the Very Best!

    Untitled 12

    Dear Sir,

    I do like your skillful handling of available light in order to creating a strong and powerfully and therefore clearly visible use of the light, that is flooding from above over the plant of unknown specie all the way down wards of the photo - building a broad light ray of diagonal that "breaths" in figure of adding energy to the photo!

    The few colors are also accentuated by the highlights against the shadow and dark areas of this find photo!

    It is working nicely also by the diagonal stroke of light and shape from upper right to down left side of the photo!

    Very good and excellent photo!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Wishing you All the Best!

  6. Dear Fellow Photographers,

     

    About skyscape and landscape - when you do NOT use HDR - I tend to

    get quite moderately darkened over all photo light-values.

    May I please ask your spontaneous impressions about this view of the

    Bay of Nybro from the quay of Strandvägen towards the south in the

    afternoon sunshine flooding in between the small openings of the clouds

    above - if you consider this to be a bit too dark OR if you might still

    accept the quite low-lightened areas in this single photo in order to make

    the light rays more visible and to keep the sky more interesting?

    I would very much appreciate your thoughts about this one photo!

     

    Thank you so very much in advance and may you have a wonderful fall

    and end of this unique September month of 2012!

     

    Wishing you all the best!

  7. Dear Skilled Photographers,

     

    Using a 7D with mf-FDn200mmMacro with the lens on a tripod but with

    winds blowing and thus moving the tiny windflowers and also I could

    only use f/4 the DOF was quite limited - however by that there is also

    some benefits in the area of creating a bokeh. I am quite new to really

    work with the bokeh and with the DOF used in creative way in order to

    give enough attention to the main subjects in the photo.

    For many years I always struggled to get the largest amount of dept of

    field and from this spring season of 2012 I started to move more and

    more towards only tiny amount of dept of field.

    But when you look on this one example of my "new" way of allowing

    only tiny dept of field - would you still accept that the second flower to

    the right in the photo is a bit out of dept of field because they are not

    really in line?

    I would appreciate your spontaneously thoughts what you feel or think at

    the first glance of this one spring flower photo from this - for me - new

    way of focusing on the main subjects alone.

     

    Thank you so very much in advance and wishing you all a wonderful fall

    with great photography!

     

    All the Best!

    Charl

  8. Dear Photographer!

     

    Would you prefer a flower leaning from left to right or vice versa?

    Why I do asking this - recently considering about how we read in

    western society - we read from left to right and therefore there is some

    significance in how a image is organizized - like this photo if this photo

    would be mirrored horizontally - would you like that better or would you

    maybe consider this as it is authentic positioned to be OK`?

     

    Just a wonder!

    I would very much appreciate your thoughts about this!

     

    Wishing you happy shootings!

     

    All the Best!

  9. Just an highly Adorable Photo taken by you David!

    I do like the very beautiful quality of light and of course the details are just tack sharp!

    This is one of the most adorable white-tail deer fawns I ever seen David!

    The White-tail deers was imported to Finland during the 1930s- and 1940s and it is called "Laukon peura" in Finnish language because the first deers was taken to the Mansion of Laukon in Finland so the name was adopted from the name of that estate or manor house of Laukon!

    Just a lovely and high-quality photo of you David!

    Thanks for sharing this Photo-Gem!

     

    Wishing you David all the very best and for your family as well!

  10. Dear Sir,

    I highly enjoy and appreciate your excellent photo of this Mt Shasta!

    I like your way of using the exposure to emphasize the light and shape of the twin-peaks!

    Just so enjoyable!

    Thanks for publishing this master work of Photography!

    Wishing you all the best and happy shootings!

    Charl

  11. Big THANK to you dear Roger for your advice and thoughts!

    Yes now when you point my attention to the narrowness in the upper right corner and the flower petal there I think your observation is spot on! Thank you so very much! Yes I should clean the table!!! :-) no one else will do it for me! 

    Thanks again and wishing you happy shooting!

    All the best!

  12. Was visiting a green house plant shop yesterday here in Stockholm and

    found this very little vase with one cyklamen or Persian Violet and this

    is one of the full frame EF 100 2.8 Macro captures @f/2.8.

    What is your opinion about the entire color handling´?

    I have a CS6 on trial for some few days more and tried to get the look

    as it was at the moment of exposure - I do not know if you think this is

    OK when beholding it on your monitor? Do you think this is too simple or

    will it still maybe working in your eyes?

    Thanks for your valued thoughts!

    Wishing you all the very best and much joy in your photography!

    All the best!
