My small contribution to Helen’s B&W Friday Theme…
A simple landscape: no ski facilities, no golf courses, no beach volley, no discotheques. Just life… on the rhythm of the shadow.
Thanks for your comments, critiques and suggestions.

Ma petite contribution au thème “noir & blanc” de Helen…
Un paysage tout simple: pas de pistes de ski, pas de terrains de golf, pas de volley-ball à la plage, pas de discothèques. Juste la vie… au rythme des ombres jetées par le soleil.
Merci de vos commentaires, critiques et suggestions.

Mijn kleine bijdrage tot Helens zwartwit-thema…
Een heel eenvoudig landschap: geen skipistes, geen golfterreinen, geen beachvolleybal, geen discotheken. Gewoon het leven… op het ritme van de schaduw.
Dank voor uw commentaar, kritiek en suggesties.

A fine capture, Erik! Very nice lead-in from the bottom left corner, great capture of shadows on the road; it all works very well.

Hi Erik!
You have a strong composition there, and those shadows are contributing a lot. The road lead my eye into a peaceful and harmonic landscape.
B&W is a good choice for this picture I think.
Well seen and done!
Greetings from north,
Jon.

Good morning Erik

A superb capture here, lovely scenic POV with an excellent lead through with the road. Superb contrast between light and shady areas that really are suited to B/W. A good sharp image nicely framed too.

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

Marvelous shadows on the road, excellent tones! There is an illusion of "tilting" not sure if the road is tilted and it just looks like the horizon line is off, or if it really is! That's one only YOU know! HAHA! Fantastic shot here Erik!

Salut Erik,
Bonne conversion au N & B . Bon choix de cette photo qui s'y prêtait bien . J'aime bien le chemin qui guide mon oeil jusqu'au fond de l'image .
Très bons contrastes et ombrages bien net .
Daniel

Bonjour Erik,
Belle composition et prise de vue rurale, belle nettetée et joli contraste, j'aime bien la pile de bois bien cordée à coté du chemin qui contourne à gauche, Très jolie photo et salutations
Michel

And the rhythm of your thought echoes well:) Lovely scene and tonality, with plenty of interesting visual elements to absorb the viewer. Well done!

Tonaliteit, scherpte, allemaal ok, zoals we van jou gewoon zijn.

Ritme is één ding, maar het accent , in dit geval de schaduw van de poort maakt de foto. Eventueel iets meer contrast in de lucht zou het nog een tikkeltje beter maken, maar het is een hele goeie sowieso.

Nice textures you captured, Erik. And that special shade, of course. Weird, as to the left nothing gives away the structure that cast its shadow on the road. Good compo and a nice, tranquil scene; a lovely place for hiking, I reckon ;o).

I really like the shadows here. They MAKE the image, I think

Best regards

I really love the POV of this one Erik. The fence is super and the logs on the side are a great touch. Lovley clarity and great presentation. Excellent for the theme.

Hey Erik,

Heeel mooi! Die schaduw is ook gaaf zeg. Je POV is goed gekozen en de goed zichtbare textuur van het asvalt staat mooi af tegen de aarde/ natuur eromheen. (Leuke tegenstelling in detailles :-))
Goed gedaan!

TFS Groetjes Simone

zeer! mooi beeld van die landweg

Bonjour Erik
C'est là une bien belle scène champêtre prise en pleine période de récolte de bois. Agréable composition avec toutes ces billes empilées en bordure du chemin et son tracé qui se courbe vers la gauche. Perspective agréable et jolie jeu d'ombres et de lumière.
Bravo
Serge

Eric,
Good contrast. My first impression was ' I would like to walk walk down that road, see what is behind the bend'.
Well done

Hallo Erik,
Mooie bijdrage! De laagstaande zon werpt zijn lange schaduwen vooruit in een winters decor. De afbuigende weg doet verlangen naar een blik vooruit. Fotografisch dik in orde..

Mooi Erik !
Het dimmen van de structuur van het asfalt,
de schaduwen, de doortekening van de bomen, etc ...
" minpuntje " : indien mogelijk de lucht wat iets meer doordrukken.
B/W ... héérlijk hé :-)

Groetjes
Jan

Hee Erik,
Mooi plaatje! Dit is inderdaad gewoon het leven!
Het is de juiste keuze om het is B&W te doen!
Groeten Vivianne
