Ciao Cara Lisa, From prison & reformatory to weddings, hasn't changed much in all these years. I think you have captured that mysterious atmosphere well here, BW an excellent choice it always seems to add that drama to a scene. The difficult light is well handled, something a little different from you, a fantastic result. I take back what I said about BW, I prefer the WS version, I think it's the colour.
Take care

Hello Jaap, A lively scene with a beautiful winter's atmosphere, well captured in excellent detail, colour,& light. I especially like the FG grass, almost golden & the last windmill only just visible through the fog, Excellent work.

Hello Ana, Interesting scene & a little different to the European houses we normally see. The colours are rich & very natural looking, excellent detail, contrast & light with lovely reflections. A beautiful image, my compliments.

Hello Nikki, This has to be amongst the most beautiful natural wonderlands on this planet. The warm sunlight & colours are a spectacle. Nice the mountains in the blue yonder, a little contrast & depth. Amazing scene, well captured.
Thanks

Hello Gert, Interesting scene, for the reasons that you described, bare feet, hand in back pocket & the stare, a look that would have made you feel a little uncomfortable, I imagine, then there is the little girl she adds a little colour & contrast, well done. The temples are also very interesting, as you said the colour is intense here & lacking a little in the WS version, both beautiful images from yesteryear.
Thanks
Regards

Hi Claude, Splendid colours in this sunrise, something we don't see every day. I guess one advantage of being up there this time of year is that you don't need to get out of bed early to catch the sun rising ;-), 10AM would suit me fine. Beautiful scene, well captured, excellent colour & clarity.
Thanks
