No trouble,no health problems just wonderful and relaxing vacations.
This one was taken on my first evening in Fort Cochin at sunset,the first one I post taken with my new lens,
many,many more to follow.....

Welcome back, this is a nice close-up of these curious creatures, with great positioning against the setting sun and pleasant assymetry.

Cheers

Hallo andreas,

Seems like yesterday you left, how fast time goes....welcome home..!!
Hope you had a great time and had the chance to do some nice photography. This one is not direct related to India as we know it, but it's nice on the composition and lines. Placing the left bird direct in front of the sun is a nice touch that i like to see here.

Take care,

Henk

Sistercosmo (2565) 2009-02-01 9:52

Lieber Leo!
Herzlich willkommen zurück!! Du glaubst gar nicht, wie sehr ich mich freue, und ich bin auch sehr gespannt, was du so alles mitgebracht hast!
This is a great dramatic shot. The sun behind the one bird is perfect. Minimalistic and very effective.
Thanks and see you around, my friend!!
Herzliche Grüße!
Linda

pboehringer (770) 2009-02-01 10:24

Hallo Andreas,
ein guter Start fuer die naechsten 20GB. Bin gespannt was Du alles mit Deinem neuen Objektiv faehig bist.
Die Besonderheit in dieser Komposition is selbstvertaendlich der eine Vogel welcher sich gerade vor die Sonne gestellt hat.
Gruss, Peter

Hallo Leo,
Welcome back, my friend.
Excellent composition in this first photo after your vacations. I like the simplicity and the graphical strength that you have obtained with these birds, in the style of Hitchcock ;o), put on the cable and the post, and one of them cut away on the solar disc, in this beautiful capture of the sunset.
It is a fantastic composition.
Best regards,
Josep

Das isser wieder!
Hallo Andreas! Welcome back! Schön, dass Du wieder gut gelandet bist! Hüftgelenke und ähnliches warten schon, sorry ... ;-)
Gleich steigst Du wieder mit einem tollen Foto ein. Diese Szene muss man erst einmal wahrnehmen und dann noch SO einfangen, wie Du es getan hast. Aufteilung, Farben, Schärfe, Darsteller - alles wunderschön nund eindrucksvoll. Ich glaube,da kommt noch einiges Sehenswerte auf uns zu ... ;-)
Grüße aus dem kalten und sehr windigen Siegen - und einen guten Neuanfang!

Hi Leo
Glad you had a good time, I'm already looking forward to seeing more from your India trip... This telephoto view is a lovely framed view of these simple subjects against the orange sun. Well spotted from afar.

Hallo Andreas,
Beautiful shadows against that nicely colored sun.
Schöne Grüsse
Marc

Cormac (26449) 2009-02-01 13:13

Great shot! I like the way you used the two elements to complement each other so well. The bird on the left is perfectly placed, right in front of the sun, and the image has a very good sense of balance to it. Well done!

gneufeld (15149) 2009-02-01 13:26

Hi Andreas,
Simplicity yet powerful presentation. Good light and colors with the sun in a perfect spot to feature that bird. Well done and TFS. Gerald

Sne011 (3099) 2009-02-01 14:37

Hallo Andreas,
Excellent capture of the birds on wire, I like them as a silhouettes, especially attractive detail is the sun behind the bird. Great photo!
Have a nice week, now back in reality :)

Waylim (10717) 2009-02-01 15:40

Leo,
Well I can't wait for the rest, but first one first. Though this may not have the essence of India, it can be anywhere, but it is such a lovely and moody shot, the composition is so well consider, all the birds are so perfectly space and balance, do they listen to you and just sit where you tell them to. I love it. the one with the sun behind can be an image by itself if you would have zoom in enough. Welcome back and a great start. Thanks Leo.
Way

ribeiroantonio (21823) 2009-02-01 16:46

This is an excellent composition with the bird warming up for what is to come from your trip to India. Congratulations.

Gerrit (35591) 2009-02-01 17:38

Hi Leo,

hispic (7399) 2009-02-01 18:46

Hello Andreas,
Welcome back. It's good for you to have been able to travel around India without troubles and health problems.

The color and shape of the sun have been beautifully captured with the amazing framing making good use of the silhouette of the birds.
I am looking forward to seeing your photos from India.
Best regards, Hisashi

Hello Leo
Good to hear that you had a wonderful trip. It's also good to hear that you met up with JP in Kerala. A very nice shot you present us especially because of the silhouette of the crow against the reddish seeting sun. Well framed, the bamboo pole & the rope with the four crows. Good work my friend!
Best Regards
Angshu

baba_flies (7951) 2009-02-02 7:48

Leo :))) Da bist Du wieder und es ist kein bisschen weniger Winter ... Ich weiss ich bin ein Freches, aber ich aendere mich auch nicht mehr. Wunderschoener Einstieg mit herrlichen Abendfarben, lustiger Vordergrund mit diesen Voegeln, die bestimmt auf etwas Essbares warteten. Many more to follow, ja dann sind wir mal gespannt darauf, natuerlich auch auf Deine Berichte, ich moechte schon so lange nach Indien, und das waere ein milder Einstieg ... glaube ich. Tell me the truth ... Barbara.
