In the memories of war Photo

Photographer’s Note

Slavonia, the region between the rivers Sava, Drava and Danube, is made up of a vast rolling alluvial plain with chains of hills at its edges which are covered in woods and vineyards and is one of the most fertile areas of Europe.

The capital of Slavonia by the river of Drava.

Due to its position on the River Drava, Osijek has always played a strategic role. In 1991, after declaration of independence by Croatia, the city was bombed for over a year by Yugoslav forces and much of the old centre was damaged. Liberated in 1995, in 1998 Osijek became part of the Croat staate again.

Bonjour Bala,
Très très belle image de crépuscule. Du moment décisif ! Le ciel conserve du bleu, les lumières sont allumées, c'est du beau boulot.
Bonne journée,
JB.

A fine light with the church tower as a contrasting color thanks to its warmer lights. Nice POV too giving a nice sweeping view along the riverbank. The boat adds a short leading line, almost an arrow, and also a human presence.

There is quite a tilt but that would be easily fixed before cropping.

Very beautiful shot. I like the moon.

Hello!
Nice shot taken in the blue hour. The crescent moon is also very nice. Too bad that the horizon is tilted. It is very easy to rotate the picture and it looks much better.

Hello Bala
Its been a while since I have seen you
The exposure its great here as are the colours and details. Only problem is that the horizon is tilted.
Regards
Daniel

Hi,

Good light, good subject, and well exposed, in spite of the differences in light intensities. I have to agree with the last two commentators, though; the photo suffers from the tilt.

Congratulations Bala!
War can't be seen at all in your nice photo. I hope it remains like it is for a big while!

Regards,
Cristóbal

Impressive scenario Bala.
I assume you use no tripod which reveals a steady hand and above all with or without a great "eye".

Hi!

Wonderful exposure and very good atmosphere shot.

But the image is tilted, and IMHO the foreground lacks interest. A tighter framing of the buildings, from the upper left corner to just abouve the small boat would probably improve the image, or from the upper right corner to the same height, keeping the same ratio.

But nice altogether!
