Wonderful light and detail. Every time I see your Drina, I'm convinced that in my next trip to SRB I'll make a special tour of the Drina! Amazing composition and moody colours.

Well done!!!

Very beautiful and intimate image. Love the pose and the general dark mood, almost a reflexion of her state of mind (as I perceive it).

Well done!

Great presentation and tones. It has an air of mystery and, as you well put it in your description, a character of generous and simple life.

Excellent!

F.

Wonderful subtle colour variations. Love the very tasteful palette you chose. Well done!

The composition is very effective and the light works very well with the petals and the detail. Excellent background, not distracting and in perfect contrast with your subject.

Congrats!

Another tulip lover! :-)

Excellent composition and interesting lighting. The low-key presentation works well with the colours.

I'm just intrigued by your choice of f/22; the longer the exposure the more you charge the sensor and it results in more noise (particularly in Sony gear - we have almost identical equipment)

Well done!

Cheers!

PS: Thank you for your welcoming message :-)

Great vantage point to this historical place. Your description helps me understand the importance strategically of this beautiful valley.

I believe that you could improve the picture by removing the haze.

If you use Photoshop check this site: http://www.lunacore.com/photoshop/tutorials/tut016.htm

If you use GIMP go here: http://www.gimpguru.org/Tutorials/RemovingHaze/

Both sites give you the theory behind it, which the most important part :-)

Cheers!
