Unforeseen

Gallery: LandscapePosted December 22, 2009425 views16 comments

Hello everybody!
I'm sorry for the lack of comments in the last weeks. I've been quite busy, but I've checked the great photography posted over here.
This past weekend I had a great time in the mountains. The temperatures dropped significantly and it snowed quite a lot. I was ready to end the morning photo session when a short break in the passing layers of fog immersed the landscape in a magical light. I wonder if the composition works for you and if the twigs in the right bottom corner are too intrusive.

This has a somewhat "end of the world" mood to it. Not to say it isn't beautiful because it is. It's just very otherworldly. Good work in COLD weather, Dorin!

For my taste, the sun overpowers the scene a bit and the branches at bottom do distract, but the quality of the light and mood are great.

Well, you combined two of my favorite subject in one shot, so it certainly works for me! My only thought is to maybe increase the contrast/highlite brightness of the fg snow just a bit--i know its diffuse light but i think those lit areas should have a bit more punch. This is an awesome shot-

Hey, I like the hazy lazy feel of this.
Nice cozy glow.

I've been in similar situations, when I was younger, and there is certainly a mood. It is unsually quiet and there is a sense of foreboding.

The stacked snow on the vertical reveals the trials and tribulations through which you endured. The subdued colors indicate the promiseof hope, especially in the warmer tones.

The oblique line of the horizon gives a sense of unbalance.

Loaded photo.

Great shot,,,,, I like!!

Great stuff, Dorin. I don't find the twigs intrusive.

I could be wrong, but it looks like there's a very subtle dust spot above the sun, very close to the edge of the frame.

That's very nice. Maybe a slight halo or rainbow around the sun would be nice here
