Winter reflections

Another impression from my winter shoot made on Saturday December 22nd. This time Germany, a few yards(!) passing the border in the beautiful place called Haarmühle; a watermill in the creek called Altstätter Aa and when it crosses the Dutch-German border it's named the Schipbeek or Buursebeek.

Made several pictures around the prevous farm the Haarmühle which is now a restaurant. After catching some cold feet and hands I had together with my brother Arie a hot cup of coffee and delicious German Apfelkuchen :-)

Well, enjoy the view!

PP-work:

Shot in RAW, adjusted contrast, brightness and saturation. Removed an annoying object in the background with clone tool, cropped (square), converted to JPEG, resized and sharpened, add frame and text.

Bizarre looking trees you have captured well twice. The diagonal water way and the opposing tree spikes make the photo. The rich reflection is great too of course. TFS. K2

He Hans,

Another beauty. But this time it looks as if you were a bit to late to shoot the whole frozen world. Next time maybe early to beth and early to...

All the best,

Hendrik

Hi dear friend,
stunning reflections! The landscape it's so beautiful, but when you see it twice in the same shot the feeling it greater. Excellent tones and light. The crop and framing are great too.
Best wishes,

Hello Hans,

In this image the blue tint is really looking facinating to impart a chilling atmosphere. Leafless winer trees with snow wherever is marvellous. Beautifully chosen view point. Well done my friend.

the dark slightly frozen water. could not be any better. superb job & take care, thor.

Wat een prachtstukje natuur, hans !!! Die spiegel zie je al in de thumbnail. Erg goed qua kleuren, scherpte en compositie.

He Hans,

Ben even je winterplaatjes gaan bekijken. Deze is echt heel mooi. Mooie reflectie in het water!
Tja.... het korte wintertje gaf weer veel reden om naar buiten te gaan. Ga binnenkort is even goed zitten voor je vakantiefoto's.
Vond je witte frame ook leuk... niet echt des Greenbarons...
