Today evening in the Danube Floodplains, Lower Austria. Last sunlight was vanishing slowly, leaving some subtle pastel colors.

Hi Peter, This feels and looks like just like home here. I love the quiet and calming feel of this picture. Beautiful Light and you have put me right in this place. The large version is just wonderful. :smile:

Peter this conveys a nice quiet mood with the subtle color. I like the way that the warm light bathes the background trees. It looks like there are some interesting clouds - maybe if you add some contrast to the sky you could bring out some of the definition in the clouds.

Peter,

I'm really enjoying the soft, warm light and the quiet, peaceful mood you've captured here. Not much here in terms of a main subject of a place for the eye to rest, but still a lovely scene. I might be tempted to crop down the sky a little bit to bring more emphasis to the reflection and reflected colors. Just a thought.

wonderful mood, Peter. I think the nearly cloudless sky works very well here to emphasize the peace and quiet, comp is fine for me

Beautiful mood Peter. This is the type of light and evening I enjoy in that park. I can hear all the sounds typical for that place when seeing this. Reminds me to go there again and hang out until sunset.
