Bonjour Niek
Les nuages à portée de main pour donner du caractère à cette image et le rouge de la maison donne le bon contraste.
Bravo et bonne soirée
Cordialement

Bonjour Niek,
Ces nuages donnent vraiment un aspect dramatique à la montagne, mais cette maison rouge apporte une touche de couleur et de vie bienvenue.
Avec ce POV on apprécie vraiment la grandeur du site.
Bonne journée

Hi Niek,

What a beautiful scene. It looks so relaxing and calm with the low clouds, surrounded by mountains, in a cozy inn. The color of the inn adds bright color to the lovely shades of greens throughout the photo.

Very nice... Hope you had a nice time.

:-) prachtig... echt de sfeer zoals ik dat al zo vaak in Noorwegen heb meegemaakt.
Heel mooi gepakt... het licht.. alles.. het klopt gewoon weer helemaal.

Ik vind het trouwens knap werk hoe je die vervorming eruit hebt gekregen. Het ziet er zo heel natuurlijk uit.
Mij lukt het ook wel, maar dan blijft er meestal weer iets anders staan, wat dan weer net niet natuurlijk aandoet....

Hi Niek,

Looks a lovely area, the photo has an unusual split the top half is almost mono and colour in the bottom, nice effect.

Hi Niek,
At the first sight, I believed that you made a partial desaturation on the mountains!But there are real gray tones! What a beautiful contrast with the red house, and greeneries. Nice to see the grasses growing on the roof! The distortion on the clouds adds surreal mood at this beautiful view totally in harmony with the greatness of this place!
My compliments! Annie

Hello Niek !

Cloudy days are extremely interesting for sucessful photo shoots. This view is a perfect example. You did pretty well in correcting the perspective here. Spectacular contrasts between the colorful ground level and mountains/sky.

Great work!
Bravo!

Beautiful scenery shot Niek, red building and the people at the park provide a sense of scale.. green roof also looks very attractive, well seen.

Hoi Niek,

Mooie landschapsfoto, sterke dramatiek door de wolken, uitermate scherp.
Ik heb geen ervaring met UWA lens en de vertekening, zou graag het origineel zien in een WS om zelf het effect van de lenscorrectie te kunnen zien.

Begreep van Ray dat je door niet vrijwillige verwisseling van eigenaarschap van je camera een tijdje zonder zat. Goed om je weer actief te zien op deze site...
Groeten,

Edwin

Okay, let's talk critiquing - Niek, sometimes there just is nothing to add, I also love the mountains and even more so when they are shrouded in clouds like here - can not compare with the original, but to me the clouds look just fine. Also that typical Norwegian roofing with wild grasses and meadow flowers on top of those deep red wooden walls - and the light - it's
all so Norwegian - I see you needed 1/20 to let in enough of the light.
Well, no wise words, I just enjoy so thanks

Very striking mountain camping picture. The clouds like just fine to me. Good crispness throughout. Nice colours going from colourful to B&W at the top. TFS. Karin

Hi Niek, lovely scenery here. Those mountains look spectacular. I think the composition is OK but there is a little too much blank space in the foreground. As you have camper vans in the shot it might have been good to have one parked near the lodge or else crop a little off the bottom. I also think the image is a little dark. I've done a workshop to show you. I hope you like it and I hope you don't mind.

Nice shot, hope you enjoyed Norway :-)

Hallo Niek
Leuk weer eens werk van je te zien.
Mooie impressie van een stukje Noorwegen.
Het blijft een fasinerend land.
In dat gedeelte ben ik ook geweest en ik ga beslist nog eens terug.
Mooie weergave in mooie Noorse kleuren.

What an amazing effect Niek, witht he deaturated peaks behind this colorful scene.
The parting of these clouds has revealed a very surreal backdrop.
Beautifully composed.

hello Niek

A superb view of rising mountains and misty clouds! Unbelievable to see a campus located with such scenery. I wonder - will the students get high scores due to such wonderful environment? I know I would, hehe! (or vice-versa?)

Despite your UWA and optical distortion, the capture gives very pleasant image of the campus's beauty. tfs

Hello Niek,

I like this photograph very much with its tall peaks and its cloudy dressing! It reminded me of the Trollenberg Terror which used to roll down the hill and envelope people in a fictional story many years ago!

The red building in the f/g and the person with red clothes, add just enough colour to lived up the shot.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Niek,
J' like this a little mystical feeling which this catch leaves us… the contrast between the red and this black gray/is well seen! Good day
