Happy New Year and all the best to all my TrekLens and Trekearth friends !

This photo was a little difficult to process. I wanted to make the green undergrowth stand out more, but didn'; t manage. Workedon the original Raw file very discretely. Mostly experimenting with exposure time.

Les Hautes Fagnes, the High Moors isvery beautiful area in the eastern part of Belgium. Not yet the Ardenennes, but the hilly, marshy foreland. Especially autumn and winter are very beautifull here. There are even the first skipistes !

Een prachtige sfeer in het donkere bos Jan.

Hello Jan!
Good contrast and the mist between the woods give the composition something mystical. Nice framed!
Best wishes for 2008!

Hay Mangoman. Happy new year to start with. I wish you a lot of POV's and PHOP's in 2008. You very well started this year. Nice dark moody forest. I also like the framework you used very much.

Beautiful shot.. So perfect.. The light, compo.. All stunning.. Bravo.

Happy New 2008...

The atmosphere and composition are outstanding //Salee Khawar.

Toute la majesté et le mystère de la forêt sont ici superbement restitués.
Superbe lumière.
On sent que cette photo a été longuement réfléchie.
Bravo et bonne année.

Hallo Jan,
Mooie compositie en mooi gebruik van licht! Door je lage camerastandpunt ontstaat een enorme grootsheid in het beeld. Het is altijd erg moeilijk om de grootte van de bomen weer te geven op een foto. Jou is dit goed gelukt. Belangrijk vind ik ook, dat je de sfeer van dat moment goed hebt kunnen weergeven: nl. die van stilte.
Heel mooi gedaan,
Groet,
Ruut

Hallo Jan,
Dit ís de sfeer van de Hoge Venen (en bij uitbreiding de Ardennen). Duister, ruw, maar tegelijkertijd van een mysterieuse schoonheid. Ik weet niet wat precies je postprocessing was, maar alles ziet er heel natuurlijk en "écht" uit.
Mooi werk!
TFS & groeten,
Erik

wonderful pov. works fine with BW. the trees are so elegant and dignified

I like very much the misty view of the wood, it's allways hard to catch this, congratulations !

Hi Jan - had a look at your gallery, you post some interesting shots! This one jumped out at me, everything about it appeals. The composition, the subject matter and, of course, the quality of light you have managed to capture. Very well done indeed!
