Hi Christian,

when i'm just about to log off you appear with you masterpieces. :) It is frustrating that I have to write meaningfull note when I just want to say: uaaa, that's just brilliant! :OOO Light to dive in. Absolutely fantastic atmosphere. And now I can go to bed full of envy. :)

Warm regards,
Jeri

Hello Christian,
Just incredible !!!
Just the light effect and the wood would make a great shot ... But with the bike, and in the best place, this is just fantastic.
Congratulations.
Greetings.

Hello Christian, this is really a perfect picture of a sun lit hazy forest and the bicyclistt seems to be just the final touch adding points to the picture, Nice composition and the ambre toning. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards, Michael

Ciao Christian,
ti confermi ai miei occhi l'uomo delle nebbie e soprattutto un grandissimo nel creare atmosfere molto belle e suggestive. Composizione favolosa con i giochi di luce del sottobosco filtrati dalla nebbia, con la presenza del ciclista che e' come la ciliegina sulla torta. Qualita' eccellente, cosi' come la presentazione.
Un caro saluto,

Igor

Jeppo (11812) 2008-10-13 13:25

hallo Christian,

was fuer eine Ueberrangende Ansicht. Mir gefaellt das Licht, die durch die Baeume durchsickt...die Tonen sind durch das Nebel irgendwie gestoert...trotzdem sind die angenehm....und irgendwie weisen auf einen Fabel!

sehr gute Aufnahme.
Hut Ab!
Silvio

flashpoint (3486) 2008-10-13 13:34

ciao Christian,
che dire...controlla il cellophane perche' ha
dei buchi e i raggi del sole penetrano...
a parte gli scherzi andare con la mountain bike
tra questi boschi all'inizio dell'autunno
e con la luce del sole che filtra deve essere
una incredibile sensazione e tu ce l'hai fatta
provare....un'altro post coi fiocchi!!!

complimenti sERGIO

johnfreeman (2220) 2008-10-13 13:48

Hi Christian,
Beautiful light, colours and atmosphere, looks like a fantastic place for cycling.
Nicely composed too with the verticals of the trees and the diagonal movement of the mountainside and the placement of the sun and the cyclist in opposite corners.
But most of all it's that wonderful light that makes it.
John

archimatica (13252) 2008-10-13 14:04

Ciao Christian.
Atmosfera meravigliosa da "Signore degli Anelli" se non fosse per il biker, che non esisteva nella famosa "Terra di mezzo", e per Frodo che non sapeva andare in bici!
Spero di averti fatto sorridere... il lavoro è magnifico!
Renzo

AgaA (2632) 2008-10-13 14:47

Wonderful atmosphere, I really love the sun rays behind trees. Perfect.
Cheers,
Aga

Angelillo (9065) 2008-10-13 15:09

Hi Christian,
It0s impressive this explosion of light, in strong contrast with the dark forest... the biker is a plus, a good addition. I like the mystery mood, the quietness, the silence. It's really beautiful! Thanks!

Greetings,
Angel.

Tout y est effectivement. Tu n'as oublié qu'une chose ; l'immense talent du photographe. Bravo pour cette merveille!
Amicalement

Wanda1 (10923) 2008-10-13 22:31

Hi Christian,
That golden light filtering through the trees creates such a special atmosphere. Everything seems so quiet and I can almost smell the scent of the forest. What a calming shot and the cyclist is a nice inclusion alone in nature. Lovely!
Regards
Wanda

johannes68 (2860) 2008-10-13 23:24

Hallo Christian,
Du bist der Nebelkönig auf TE ;)
Vielen Dank für die Prise frischer Waldluft, das macht den Start in den Arbeitstag gleich erträglicher!
Liebe Grüsse, Johannes

Buongiorno!
Bellissima composizione, caro Christian!
Un capolavoro di luci e colori, in un'atmosfera unica.
Bravissimo.
Marco

rigoletto (26172) 2008-10-14 0:51

Hi Christian,
As if the Elf procession is just about to begin, or i can almost hear the neighing of a unicorn...
Very mysterious atmosphere, and great use of counterlight. The cyclist is essential to give the huge size of the elegant trees. I like the warm tones.
Rgs,
Deniz

PixelTerror (86038) 2008-10-14 2:52

Hi Christian,
Now that's very good use of the light, the left part of the forest looks enchanted and you have placed the biker just at the best possible position so that it catches the eye by contrast, nice image.
Have a nice day JY

macondo (13073) 2008-10-14 3:54

Hello Christian.
This one seems destined to go down as a TE 'classic'. It's superbly composed and exposed and full of atmosphere. Simple, almost minimalistic, but with such a strong focal point and sense of perspective. It's a great autumn picture where the light seems to generate as much movement in it as the cyclist. Very well done.
Regards,
Andrew

aadilj (17950) 2008-10-14 3:58

Lovely dream captured with such finesse and elean. I love the panache and deftness with which you have nuanced the tones and hues and have crafted this lovely piece

janneman (1210) 2008-10-14 4:21

The mystic light, the composition and your POV, combined with the biker make this an excellent picture!

Floydian (30970) 2008-10-14 4:37

Hallo Christian,
Always a certain mood in your landscape pictures. Never just a quick snapshot, it's always well though and well controled in light, objects and composition. Adding that cyclist is proof on that....very good work.
Regards, Henk

anes_lc (14766) 2008-10-14 5:56

niphredil76 (684) 2008-10-14 9:59

Ciao Christian,
a wonderful sepia result for a really fairy shot!
Great light balance and sense of composition, including the cyclist was a great idea!

Hi Christian,

jonathan_hart (22570) 2008-10-14 10:25

excellent backlight in the woods composition, recently i critiqued a lot of this kind on both TE and TL but i must tell you, this one is the best I've seen for a while since there is this excellent bonus detail of the biker taken in a perfect timing
interesting tones and contrasts too
regards
jc

sunamoon (5057) 2008-10-14 10:50

Hola Christian:

Es una foto impresionante,

Un saludo,
Elena

baba_flies (7969) 2008-10-15 0:06

Lieber Christian! Du hast den Wald "eingefangen"! Ich renne dauernd im Wald herum, aber die Essenz habe ich noch nie richtig fotografisch erkannt. Wunderschoen wie die Sonne an den Boden kommt, wie in feinen Faeden durchmixt mit dem leichten Herbstnebel. Es ist herrlich im Herbst den Wald zu durchkaemmen, das Rascheln von den Blaettern unter den Fuessen und dieser feine Waldduft ... herrlich! Du hast diese Stimmung meisterhaft erfasst, fantastisch. Nun gehe ICH raus ... hocke in der Huette, die ganze Woche, und geniesse die Bergwelt ... Barbara.

Clementi (43757) 2008-10-15 1:04

Ciao Christian,
ecco il maestro della luce all'opera, bellissimo l'effetto della nebbiolina che filtra la luce e la riscalda di colore.
l'inserimento del ciclista rende questa visione reale.
complimenti
Giorgio

Ciao Christian,
una luce davvero incantevole che rende tutto fatato e magico. Eccellente la presenza del ciclista e ottime le tonalità autunnali.
Buona serata
Anna

Bartleby (4826) 2008-10-15 13:20

Hi Christian,
Fairytale it is! The long trees flooded by this divine light. One could expect Merlin to pop out at any moment from behind one of those trees. Excellent!

Philippe

temmel (3036) 2008-10-16 1:14

Hallo Christian,
Kompliment..eine wundervolle Stimmung eingefangen.

Hugs,Linda

euryan (8345) 2008-10-16 11:26

This is an incredibly beautiful. The light through the trees is enough to create a awesome photograph but the inclusion of the biker down there in the corner really makes this special. A favorite for sure.

chpp (3966) 2008-10-17 8:36

Hi,
nice perspective with the road and the biker, excellent capture of the sun rays in between the dark trees. Excellent compo. the fog helps a lot in the top left to reduce the "overexposure"
excellent job

ciao christina, questa foto merita i 100 punti e molto di più a dire il vero
una foto che dimostra una grande sensibilità, un occhio molto fine, una bellissima composizione
adoro le foto con soggetti così piccoli
10 e lode!

clio (22585) 2008-10-25 3:20

Bonjour Christian,
magnificent composition all around the light and colors of the autumn. The cyclist seems to be a new character of a modern fairy tale.
The Prince charming changed his horse against a MOUNTAIN BIKE!
Congratulations
Diane

Ninello52 (3296) 2008-10-26 14:20

Ciao Christian,
Atmosfera eccezzionale, colori e luce da far venire la pelle d'oca! Certamenete un capolavoro fra i tuoi capolavori. la luce filtrante fra gli alberi è fantastica, la figura in bicicletta rende terreno un paesaggio dal fascino divino.
Saluti, Nino.

ophelcia (5329) 2008-12-29 10:48

Hmmm, I'll probably add two more points to this PILE... I'm fond of the guy on the bike somewhere in the middle of the forest, foggy morning...I LIKE IT!
