*mystical morning*, a photo from Gorenjska, West

Photographer's Note

Beautiful Christmas morning at Sorsko polje (Sorsko field). I photographed the scene before the sun was up and the resulting pastel colours I really like.

Hope you like it. Comments and critques are appreciated.

More you can see in Catch the Moment site.

Good work and a happy 2006

Trs� sp嶰ial Denis,
De belles couleurs agr嶧bles qui pourraient nous faire encore mieux aimer la neige si elle 彋ait bleue.
Un bon cadrage assorti dun excellent choix du format vertical.
Compliments.
Daniel.

Hi Denis,
The color of the sky before the sunrise is nice. I especially love the tree in the background and also the cloud on the top right of the picture.
Great composition!

Hello, Denis. Very good composition with the lines on the field leading the eye to the beautiful mountainous background. The lonely tree comes out very well on the snow and sky.

Emvee (417) 2005-12-27 16:35

This is a real jewel. The colours are very beautiful, the composition is well chosen: the tree and the cloud are at the perfect place! And your courage to get up so early on Christmas morning is also worth mentioning!

A really beautiful lone tree composition Denis - really very lovely light and such wonderful subleties of colour. Excellent shot. Best wishes Kev

SamB (1948) 2005-12-27 17:59

This is a great shot, very simple yet deep. It is very well composed, with the cloud adding to rather than distracting from the mountain.

Well done!

jinju (14265) 2005-12-27 19:31

Unbelievable beauty and quality. Especially the pastels, but also the fantastic texture of the snow and this off center composition. It was worth getting up so early for this light.

Lisas_world (1232) 2005-12-27 21:09

What a beautifully quiet scene, Denis. I love your point of view looking down the ridges of the field. The pastel lavendar of the sky and snow is excellent, the dramatic silouhette of the tree stunning against the sky...and I think that purple cloud suspended so delicately just finishes a perfect photo.

Hi Denis
Cool color. Wonderful morning color. I was thinking you were using some sort of filter to produce the effect.
Cool image.
Happy New Year.

Hi Denis.

Very good compostion. I like the riot of few brilliant colors.

Thanks for sharing

tjanze (5674) 2005-12-28 2:33

Zdravo Denis!
Zelo lepo.Slika mi deluje nekako malo skrivnostno.
Zanimive barve in linije po snegu.

bibiweb (8) 2005-12-28 3:24

Hi Denis,
A very simple and yet strong composition with all the lines converging towards the mountain in the background and this solitary tree. The colors are awesome!
Regards, Brigitte

Hi Denis.
Tout simplement magnifique.
Les teintes captur嶪s sont splendides et cette texture au niveau du sol est superbe. J'aime beaucoup ce choix de cadrage et ce vertical est tr鋊 bien vu ici.
Une belle prise, la nature dans tous ces 彋ats.

Great colours and framing. The tracks are great and add as a good lead into the composition. The colouring is great and the placement of the tree on the top left of the screen is brilliant.
Good work and a happy 2006

Hi Denis
What a magical shot ! I really like the blue textured snow with lines leading off into the horizon the silhouette of the tree against the pink sky and the balance of the mountain and cloud on the right. Thanks for sharing.
Nikki

spyros60 (158) 2006-02-21 11:34

Super compo with a fantastic atmosphere.
The right time gives powerful colors also.
Congratulations Denis

rajhema (1873) 2006-02-21 11:48

superb colors denis. Selecting one tree in the frame is a good idea. distant purple in the sky and its reflection in the snow is all perfect. good framing as well.

ahhow (116) 2006-06-01 1:12

Ya, i likes it...
Really nice photo!

ayobami (1353) 2006-08-13 8:51

Beautiful morning light captured here - very soft colours in the sky contrasted against these beautiful blue tones of the snow covered ground. The tree is the best part, perfectly placed and perfect silhouette!

corsicastorm (3236) 2006-09-20 20:06

waouu une merveille!! la gallerie aussi m廨iterait d'皻re mieux consid廨嶪...

MikiM (1924) 2006-09-21 9:58

HI Denis,

I found this image linked to the "after harvest" - and I totally admit its beauty. I like these pastel colors too - the diagonal line in the field is a plus advantage of your picture.

Congrats,

Mikl鏀

Good morning Denis -

I just had to comment on this image as I have one very similar in my portfolio. The composition is very simple. The tree and horizon are placed in the composition for maximum impact. I like how the field rows are highlighted by the snow and lead us into the image. The pastel colors of the morning sky are just about perfect. I can feel the cold and almost experience standing behind the camera with you. WOW! Excellent image - well done!!!

Thank you for sharing

John

Hi Denis
No critique for this lovely shot, with such pastel colours, and a good point of view and light, leading from the front to the tree in shadow and blue mountains at the back. Moreover, a nice cloud is balancing the tree branches.
Great art!
