Without doing it in a planned or conscious way I realize I lately have been doing some simplified expressions of the way I see spring…

My former posting “Lifesaver” is one… here is another, maybe there will be even more later!

On the south side the snow has melted, but not so on the other side of the hill… And to me there is no real spring without the blue blue sky..!

I have to add this was captured as I was visiting a mountain village during Easter, and where spring is a week or two delayed compared to the lowlands in Central Norway...

HI pablo!
this is a beautiful interpretation and a great play with the simple colors and shapes!
It's beautiful!
Congratulations.
Luci

Hi Pablo,

Its simplicity makes it so beautiful!
Three great, sharp and solid colours (blue, white and brown). Perfect! Excellent early Spring photo! Really TFS!!
Very well done!

Constantinos

Hello Pablo... the saturated blue sky is impressive and attracts me... the light is very well polarized... The shapes are expressed successfully...

Can

interesting shot Pablo. A compo in 3 colors... good colors. Well done

Pablo, I'm not sure I need to analyze this photo in terms of technique -- I'm just commenting because it looks so delicious: it's like one of those German or Hungarian gingerbread cookies dipped into eggwhite/sugar merengue icing, crunch, yum, sweet! :))

Amazing how bright and lively the whole image is; it is so easy to overexpose snow and so difficult to do a good jon on a scene like this. Spring is coming: for you, it's the melting of the snow; for me, it was 25 degrees Celsius and, at the same time, an all-time-high flood on the River Tisza just about ten miles from where I live. Both nice and scary. And today, some terrential rain...

Anyway, great job capturing your spring; I'm leaving now to see more of your series. :)

Great image, Pablo! Three well defined zones and a great sense of space. Very well done!

Hi Pablo! Great interpretation of spring! I love the blue sky and the white snowfall on the North? side of the slope. What a great contrast! Well presented my friend!

Great composition and POV Pablo, simple and attractive rich colours. Sort of like a sand dune, but with a northern spring touch. Very well done, Sam

Hi Pablo,
I like the shot and I like the headline.
Spring with it's two sides - warm and cold, grass and snow. Excellent way to show this, I like it, bye
Sabine - wishnugaruda

Hi Pablo,
great, minimalistic one with superbe colours in 3 large areas. Perfect proportions between the sky and the ground along with the separating curve makes me thing of Ying-Yang sign. Another association is one of the Polish mountais - been there many times. It's peak look almost exactly like the hill you have shows - brought back my memories (absent there for 10 years - the place became too crowdy for me...) tfs

I do not want to see snow any more, but the beauty of this so blue sky convinced me to delay me with your photo. Your very simple composition with its cut out plans is beautiful a exercicie of balance1 Respect! Annie

Hi Pablo,
Nice composition. It's simple but at the same time very impressive. Well seen & taken.

Well-seen, strong composition. I like how the dividing line between snow and grass leads to beautiful blue sky.

Impressive!

Hi Pablo,
nice shot, sure can tell which side faces south ;-). Wonderful contrasts and textures. Nice composition.
TFS..Sky

Good observation... Do yu see the shape of a whale you too She have her eye and a curious white smile! Well it could suggest too a turtle or a camel, i admit the form is basic!

But it's mostly fun to see the power of the sun divide the montain in two :)

Great capture Pablo,
Superb colours. Very well composed.
Thanks for posting, enjoy the rest of the week.

pablo,
jaxtopisition, that is nature. there is no grey line here. nice simplistic approach. good color contrast and the blue sky is the added bonus here.

Hi Pablo,
I see were are both posting minimalistic photos. I do ith with man-made objects, you do it with nature.
Excellent spring impression, with an awesome sky and excellent details in both the grass and snow.
Lovely spring series Pablo.

Hi Pablo

The snow accentuates the graphism of the dark peak, against the blue sky. Good sharpness & pov. tfs!

good colors and composition. the presence of white, brown and blue made it simply stand out in most of the landscape photos i've seen. hope we can see more of this Pablo.

TFS...
Stay well..

PS: Thank you very much for your comment on Remain of the Last Winter

Recently, I can be straying by model selection of a camera.
D50 is the digital single lens reflex camera which is comparatively easy to purchase in Japan.
Your works are teaching me much capability.
It is wonderful color sense.

Hei på deg!

Receding snow lines, a bit like receding hairlines. I got back to Fredrikstad from Lillehammer and all the snow had melted in the garden and the bulbs were beginning to bloom. Travelling further south life has become even more colourful. Lovely.

Pablo post as many photographs of snow as you like, I am already looking forward to the next skiing season ;-) But not necessarily the next season of snow clearing, and changing to winter tyres.

Nice opposing diagonals here created by the blue, white and brown of the different components, and within no time at all that brown matt will be a lush green!

Hi there Pablo,
I'm sure this has been said already but I'll say it again-
I just love the simplicity here. Just three colours, and just a few lines. You have brought the different aspects of this photo together very well. Nice way to portray the oncoming of spring- with the snow melting exposing the ground below.
Well done,
Jako

Hi Pablo,
A simple and stark composition that has only three colors. It looks great! According to the snowmelt, I would say your well over halfway to spring. Intense blue in the sky.
Scott

Hi Pablo, very beautiful image that for all its simplicity, looks stunning! Beautiful, bold, and solid colors with great sharpness.
Excellent minimalistic composition. To me, simple is best, and you've done a superb job here. Congratulations my friend! Best, Sam :0)

Simple and effective. Great bleu gradient.

Well done Pablo!

Thanks for sharing Pablo

Hi Pablo. Simple yet bold in colors. Sometimes the photos with less distraction are the ones that are most beautiful. Take care.

A great composition!
3 simple colors beautifully captured!
A masterpiece again!

Incredible blue sky. Nice simple shapes and contrasting colours. Best Regards.

Hallo Pablo.
That is looking good to the spring season. Just waiting for better weather at this moment. lol
Jan

This photo is fantastic because of contrasts in it. You have a lot of interesting photos in your site. Congratulations.

Hello Pablo. A stunning shot. The simplicity of the snow receeding over the ridge of the mountain, a sure sign of spring, portrayed in just three colours is wonderful. Thanks for sharing!!!!!

Hello Pablo, you do superbly well with nature photos, and this one is another one.

I like very much the way that you composed the image with part of the mound, making a nice curve against this deep blue sky.

And what adds to the graphical image, is that half of the mound is covered with snow.

So simple and yet so strong as an image!

Very well seen and done! Take care, Yan :)

Hi

I love the simplicity of this shot while I can also find a side to this photo where there is alot going on. The combination of just the three colours looks great and i love the blue of the sky such great shades. The line in the snow helps lead your eye through the photo and the idea behind the photo is great.

A beautiful compostion and an excellent presentation. The picture narrates the story of Spring season arrival. Sunny side melts faster in mountain region, that is why the land on sunny side is more expenssive.

Thanks for sharing an interesting moment taken from Nature.

I don't know why this natural "post processing" reminds me of
a partial view of those black whales that have a white belly!
Maybe because of the clean cut between densities.
Very atractive presentation.
