Hallo Els,
Wat heeft ons landje toch een mooie plekjes! Jij hebt er met deze foto één op grandioze wijze vastgelegd. Alles zit er weer in: mooie kleuren en licht. Goede compo en reflectie.
Trouwens.... wàt een weersverschillen in datzelfde kleine landje! 26 graden?! Wij kijken al verschillende dagen naar een grijze, grouwe lucht bij 16 graden!
Warme groetjes,
Adri

Hi Els,
This looks a nice place to walk and explore, you have captured it well, I like the POV here looking down the steps to the water.
Well done
Regards Andy

So nice you can do this Els! HA! We have a park near us and I would not DARE walk back in the woods like this. Water moccasins and mosquitos would carry me away! This is a nice shot, very pretty work, love the wide angle view!

I think I would need my hiking pole to negotiate the terrain Els. Lovely greens and well composed with the trees and railings seeming to frame the central part. Good light and detail, 26C...only 11 warmer than I had it yesterday. TFS,

Interesting how the waters come together here Els. A truly special location - like to sit on the stairs and relax in the cool of the trees.

Hi Els,
Beautiful capture of the confulence of these tiny streams. This beautiful place is seen in brilliant light that is wonderfully fileted by the green canopy. Excellent informative note. Many of the samll rivers that feed into the Hudson River are called kills from the Dutch settlers (i.e The Battenkill, the Plotterkill).

H9i, Els,
A lovely park, apparently, a favourite of yours:)
I like the shades provided by the trees.
the stepped lanes are also nice.

HI Els
I like the way this place is joined together.
The kind of place I love to visit as long as there are no mosquitoes. Great place for a picnic.
Good composition love the filtered light on the water.
Good stuff

Shade and sunlight through leaves - always a challenge to get that right on film/sensor, and you managed well, Els. A nice view. I hope the plans are carried out: there's way too few and way too small nature reservations in the Low Lands, so some expansion should be welcome.
On nit-pick, though completely irrelevant to the shot as it's about the frame: you should apply a bigger shade around the layer with the photo, and make that dissolve: this drop shadow you used is too narrow, and too bright to be "credible".
And hey, OF COURSE the camera comes along, no doubt about that!

Hello Els

Ah!...this is my territory
my place where I meet
out of the urban area. Delicious place!
The green, the catwalk of the roads,
I see to walk me for this place.
Beautiful post, be sure that I will have
a good week of pure fresh air.
Congratulations!

Hi Els,
When I see scenes like this one the first thing that pops into my mind are situations like this one and it really makes me sad that everytime I go to the woods I keep on being confronted with them.

A very beautiful and tempting place to spend some time. I simply love it!
Nice colors and very good sharpness.
Have a nice week and TFS.
Regards,
Lurdes

Hi ELS:
The interesting point in this photo is how my eyes are lead around the path and into the heart of the picture then up the stairs in the back and out...It looks like you could have done a touch more with levels to punch it up a bit more.... I really enjoy these type of photos where my eye is lead in and then out of the pic....Well done Els....Roman:0)

Hell Els,

Not only is this sort of party very different, it is also great for interesting conversation ... it offers opportunities to discuss what you see rather than the 'well-worn smalltalk'.

I love your well-chosen pov (I ready to join you on the downhill!), the lovely dappled light, the interesting pathways and the whole mood of freedom that is conjured up!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Els !
lovely nature hues, light and exposure.
I like the wooden bannister going from the lower right-hand corner of your frame and into the picture !

Nice effect. Well done.
Best regards, Daniel
