Un moment ravissant, Nicolas, figé avec beaucoup d'adresse photographique. Les couleurs sont superbes et ta composition met bien en valeur les plans successifs du paysage.
Merci du partage & bien à toi,
Erik

Expressief bijzonder geslaagd, Jan. Je hebt ze op een uitgelezen moment op de gevoelige plaat weten vast te leggen. Zeer origineel thema voor TrekLens inderdaad.
Mooie compositie en gepaste zwartwitbewerking, die uitstraling geeft aan dit professorenduo.
Wel had ik de professor links graag scherper gezien. Heb je scherp gesteld op de andere professor of bewoog prof. van der Heijden op het moment van de opname? Dat, in combinatie met (wellicht) weinig beschikbaar licht, kan een en ander verklaren. Toegegeven: die toch wel zichtbare onscherpte verleent de foto wel een soort van "vintage-gevoel".
TFS & groeten!

A good idea, Gozde, and well carried out.
The position of the two models, as well as the woman's facial expression, effectively convey the tension between them.
The warm colours somehow counterbalance their not-so-happy mood.
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Bonjour Urs,
Excellent condensé de ce que représente, pour moi, la Suisse: lacs, montagnes lointaines, vignobles, petits villages bien agencés et, last but not least, des trains on ne peut plus ponctuels! ;o)
Photo carte postale en quelque sorte, mais nettement moins stéréotypée que la moyenne, du fait de la présence marquée (mais harmonieuse) des infrastructures routière et ferroviaire.
Merci du partage & amicalement,
Erik

Divinely captured morning light, Silke! I like how it enhances the lines of this gently rolling landscape. The distant glimpse of the town in the background subtly counterbalances the pastoral scene on the foreground. Your composition gives the impression that both atmospheres (rural and urban) coexist in perfect harmony.
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Les silhouettes des arbres sont les éléments-clés de ta photo, Michel. Elles attirent le regard et donnent de la profondeur à ton image pourtant brumeuse. En outre, leurs formes irrégulières renforcent l'ambiance mystérieuse que dégage le brouillard.
Le halo bleuâtre qui inonde ta photo, nous fait réellement sentir le froid...
Belle composition dans laquelle tous les élements de ce paysage "ordinaire" (dans le sens de "daily life") sont bien mis en valeur.
Merci du partage & amicalement,
Erik

Knap, Kurt, werkelijk knap!
Realistisch surrealistisch!
België zoals België is!
Perfecte timing. Daar moet je "oog" voor hebben. Misschien had ik de persoon op de voorgrond liever iets scherper gezien (dan leek het nog meer op een schilderij "à la Delvaux"), maar dat zijn nu eenmaal de omstandigheden.
Zwaar ondergewaardeerd werk, maar o zo lief van jou dat je TrekLens ermee wou opwaarderen ;o).
TFS & groetjes!
Erik

Hello Edward,
Like Calin (chadodo) says: this is a rather difficult picture "at the first glance". There is, indeed, so much to see here that our eyes need a little time to adapt and to get "into" the image. Well, I took that little time and my conclusion is that this extremely intense mirror effect is a "visual experience" rather than (just) a photo.
There is almost a kind of illusion in it: one asks oneself what is real - the landscape or its reflection? Very well observed...
The only thing that bothers me here is the impressive brown frame. You seem to like that colour (and I do to ;o)), but I think that in this case, a frame in a neutral colour (e.g. white) would have done more justice to your picture. Why? Because an intense photo + an intense frame = a bit too much (for some of us ;o)).
Apart from this, good work!
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Hello Teresat,
When a photo gives the viewer the feeling of getting in touch with the soul of the person it represents, it has to be a VERY powerful photo.
In other words: a VERY powerful photo! ;o)
The idea, the grainy treatment, the composition and the mood: everything fits...
TFS & kind regards,
Erik

Perfect timing resulting in a touching daily life shot, Dilshan. The innocence of childhood is very well conveyed here.
Aesthetically, the sepia conversion is nice, but I would somehow have preferred a "simple" black & white photo - maybe just because I don't associate sepia with street photography.
I agree with "Whiteknight" about a (slightly) tighter crop being better, in order to put the focus still more on the little girl.
I'm trying to figure out how you achieved your depth of field. Just by focussing on the girl (combined with your other photographic parameters, especially aperture) or did you blur the background by PP (I don't read that in your note, so I suppose you didn't...)?
Anyway, nice work!
TFS & kind regards,
Erik
