Pretty garden of pansies Hansie. (Hey, that rhymes)
And I like the peak of the church over the flowers, and that cloudy sky - it's a super composition - well done

Hallo Hans.
Excellent Low point picture.!
Ja, dat was een goed idee om de flitser te gebruiken.
Wordt al gauw vergeten (door mij)
Het lijkt wel of je het onderschrift ook heb meegeflitst , zo duidelijk staat het er op.
De UV doet het prima. Ik heb een polarisatie filter aangeschaft (B+W F-pro) doet het goed.
Groeten van Jan

Intersting experiment. and those colors in FG make a nice touch for the rather dull colour on B/G. Looks like you sharpen brush the tree on the left. IMO just let it rather soft. You still have some spots on the top btw

Beautiful. If not for the blue patches in the sky, I would have thought you PP'd it with B&W.
Lovely

Overduidelijk geflitst... ;-)
Ik vind het effect heel leuk. Die felle kleuren op de voorgrond en de donkere dreigende lucht daarboven. Leuk standpunt ook. Goegezien jochie.

Hi Hans
With the last snow storm and the promise of another one this week end this is a welcome sight.
Very lovely composition with the lonely tree and the building in the background against those dark clouds.

Nicely done Hans, it is a welcome sight to start to see the change to flowers from snow and winter scenes from everyone, ---I do like the church peak but am left wishing for just a little more of it, maybe bringing your viewpoint up just a little---just my opinion,well done---Lynne

hi hans, its great that you experimented however, the flash on the flowers doesnt look right, i would of exposed for the flowers then maybe used a n/grad filter for the sky therfor no flash, the horizon line way to low for me also, but hey its good to experiment!
tfs,

Hi Hans,
I particularly like this low POV on this flowers (IMHO. not daisies at the first sight) and the remote castle!
Well tought the to use your flash, especially that you were against the light. The contrast B%W and colors obtained is so vivid and composes an appealing image and a hope for the Spring, indeed! Bravo! Annie

Hi Hans,
SPRING ? I can't believe it will come again. We already receive 403 cm of snow, 40 more are forecast for tomorrow. Just look at my last post to see what I am talking about.
So it is VERY refreshing to look at your spring and to appreciate the perfect composition of that photography. Thank you for the pause, I have to go back shoveling !

Nah, dat zijn toch gewoon winter viooltjes Hansie.
Wat mij betreft werkt het meer dan prima, heb in Aruba naar jouw goede voorbeeld ook diverse keren op mijn buik gelegen - geen probleem - alleen het opstaan daarna ^-^.
Het is heel mooi geworden zo en die silhouetten van prachtig Wenen en de dreigende lucht vormen de perfecte BG voor de "daisies".

He Spruitje,

Mooie vreemde prent.
Helemaal naar Wenen om het voorjaar te zien?
Bij mij gebeurt het achter in de sloot. Jawel, ze zijn weer bezig, de zwanen.

De foto lijkt me een beetje grijs maar dat zal vast je opzet zijn.

Oudoe,

Hendrik

Hi Hans,
So, here is my opinion:
1.Composition:*****; It is very surprising and original.
2.Impact: *****; It is a striking photo, very "sticky" for my eyes.
3.Colors and contrast:*****; just perfect.
4.Light:*****; maximum again:)
As long as I can`t put my finger somewhere and say:"Aha! This is what you did; I noticed it!" I think it is a very good photo and post processing technique.
Bravo!
Nelu

To be honest and completely honest this picture brought tears to my eyes. It is beautiful but makes me wish it were May now. Vienna is a place I could live happily in so many things around to do and so many picture ops.
I love the clouds they add a whole new 'attitude' to the picture. TFS

A super composition Hans. From my first observation I thought it was selective colour/ greyscale but then I saw the timny bit of blue sky as well. This is a very pleasing composition. If only I was young enough still to get down on my tummy to take photos... I learn a LOT from you!
