Wauw dat ziet er goed uit. Bij ons in het Noorden is jammer genoeg die nacht sneeuw gevallen. S'morgens dooide het al maar ik stond samen met mijn 2 dochters om 7.15 al in de sneeuw. We hebben zelfs nog een sneeuwpop gemaakt.
Mijn oudste heeft nog nooit geschaatst en ze is al 7 jaar. Vroeger stond je met 2 jaar al op de schaats. Ik vind het wel jammer. Ik vertel haar nu over mij en Oma dat we altijd over de vaarten schaatsten. Toch maar een keertje ijsbaan denk ik;)

Hoi Niek,
Ook weer een heerlijk winters plaatje. Mooi perspectief en de wazige boomsilhouetten komen hier prachtig uit. Waan me bij het kijken naar dit plaatje weer thuis in Twente! TFS.

Hello Niek,
As I see you don't have real winter so far. Here it began 3 weeks ago I guess but it is rather late. It is very cold these times. I like the POV and composition a lot here. Exposure and texture are great too. I like this nostalgic mood, this is very well seen and done :-) Thanks :-)

This is a lovely little piece of rural land next to the city. Very nice atmosphere with the snow falling. I like the composition.

Hello Niek.. WOW I love this one..

I have a thing about fences..they always look so interesting, and I want to take a photo of them..but one has to get the composition correct for them to look really good.... just as YOURS does here..

Im glad you converted it to B&W, as it enhances it even more.

I like the foreground interest, and also the moody blurred look of the BG trees.. well done on this photo.. Im glad you left work early to capture this.

Thank you.
and kind regards
Dawn.

Hi Niek

This is just wonderful. I wish we had this instead of the rain. I love the trees looming out of the BG. The fence that would normally ruin a picture looks great with the angle you have taken it add. On this photo I can also safely say..great B&W shot :)

Oh I love this picture! I didn't have the luck to have a view like that. It only snowed in the midday and even that was crappy. Nothing of the snow remained once it had hit the ground. But OK, it had snown. Finally. But why not with Cristmas :)

Great shot.

Excellent work Niek! I like the choice of black and white. The compostion is first rate and the sharpness of the fence is perfect. The loan tree on the left adds a nice touch. I like it!

Hello Niek,
There is a good perspective drawn up by the fence!
Excellent details in this fine winter capture, and a fine feeling of depth...
Superb dynamic composition, very attractive tonal range in the black and white!

The B&W is perfect here. I think the POV is superb. it gives it great perspective. I'm a big fan of your work and I think this one's fantastic! Well done and keep up the great photography.
I hope you quickly took the opportunity to build a snowman!

Hi Niek,
Another moody winter landscape scene. The use of the fence to create some leading lines does wonders here. Kind of makes me feel chilled and damp just looking at it. Great feel of depth.

I really like this shot, can't really put into words why, it is just the feeling it evokes in me. It isn't an exciting shot, just a soothing one that makes me think relaxation. I really like that it is in b/w, I think that was a perfect choice. The soft foggy BG adds to the soothing look of the photo. The trees add some detail and depth to the shot and draw the eye clear across the meadow. The snow on the outside of the fence add a little more to the secure feel of the fence, it is as if it gives the fence more weight against whatever it is there to keep out/in. The simplistic white frame helps to add depth to the hues that are captured in this shot. TFS

Hi Niek,
it's a little sad - but I like it very much.
So silent, I can cool down after a day full of stress. It's very good in black/white, a beautiful view, thanks

How did I miss this one?? I love how the fence comes in at one angle and exits at another! And the corner is off center! Very nice! Love these types of shots! Very hard sometimes, with everything white to get enough contrast! You did a great job here!
