The Old Friends Photo

Photographer’s Note

I like the way the pine is copying the shape of the rock as if they were two inseparable friends.
The picture was taken in the part of Czech Paradise around Sedmihorky.
The sandstone columns reach up to 60 meters and there are about so many of them that they create a wonderful maze, very attractive place for family trips and a challenge for climbers.

Hello Romana,

This is a very interesting study and one which I feel must have been difficult to achieve.
Your vertical composition works very well. I particularly like the shadows on the rock face. They accentuate the nooks and crannies, the crevices and faults. (I hope it is possible for you to understand those term!)

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Halo Romana,
Beautiful composition of a pair of nature. You should climb that height to catch. Or, is Czech Paradise a name for the conservation area?
TFS!
Best regards,
Yasin

Hi Romana,

Wonderful and well-composed shot. A vertical picture is absolutely very good here. The high column of sandstone looks very impressive and the high pine tree beside it is perfect. Beautiful sky. TFS!

Kind regards,

Ulf

Romana,
Glad to see you back at this location - it's one that very much appeals to me, and if I ever find myself in the Czech Rebublic this is sure to be on the visit list. Thanks for the introduction ;)

Effective composition here, more tightly cropped than in the previous posts, which is also a good thing to give us the flavour of this place.

Best regards

Ahoj, Romano.
Krásná scenérie!

S tou současnou úrovní fotografií z naší překrásné země na TE máš naprostou pravdu! Přitom máme být, myslím, skutečně na co hrdí. Neb jak praví jedna slavná replika z jednoho milého filmu: "To není země, to je zahrádka." :-) Myslím, že nezbývá než abychom se každý snažili podat ve svých fotografiích onen pravdivý obraz o kráse naší země... a Tobě se to tady, myslím, velice dobře podařilo...

měj se moc hezky
