HI Thorsten.

You made a very very good work with the composition and also with the exposure. This is one of the nicest pictures I've seen from Colonge.

Regards.

Hi Thorsten, A very beautiful view across this white carpet, Cologne Cathedral is a stunning piece of architecture & offers a great backdrop to the picture, the sunrise has created a wonderful sky & your composition with the trees right & left is excellent, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Hello Thorsten,

What a beautiful winter scene of the great Cathedral of Cologne. The great German physicist Werner Heisenberg once said, "Never underestimate how much pleasure it gives a man to see/hear what he already knows." The scene is a pleasure for me to contemplate. In 1990 I was there, but in late July. Warm regards,

Bulent

Hello Thorsten.
A lovely sunrise photo with delicate and subtle colour tones. It's nice to see the spires of the cathedral framed by the trees. In this case the slightly hazy looking cathedral building looks superb in the background. Very nicely done.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Thorsten!
What a beautiful and pleasant picture!
The vertical format was the best choice for sure!
A very well chosen pov and a superb composition!
The phot has excellent sharpness and correct exposure!
The view is truly interesting and very very nice!
The giant and beautiful Cathedral had its beauty enhanced by the framing you composed, with trees, snow and the wonderful and colorful sky in the background! I really like it!
TFS - Congratulations!
Warmest regards,
Neyvan

Hallo Thorsten,

Best thing about winter is that we don't have to get up that early to catch the sunrise. It's maybe cold, but when coming home and seeing these kind of pictures on your screen you forget the cold and enjoy to see what you have taken that early hour. I'll bet you also were very happy with the result. This time a view on the Dom like i not seen it before, only for that already my respect. But what got me here is the light, it was already shining from the thumbnail and open the large version it became more beautiful. A truly wonderful photo, well done, and thanks getting up early to this this pov...great shot.

Regards,

Henk

Hello Thorsten,

I just read about the cathedral and realised I only visited it a long, long time ago as a kid. This picture is another argument to make me want to rediscover it. Excellent capture. I hope you stayed warm.

Hallo Thorsten!
Hier gibt's nicht viel zu sagen. Das Foto ist einfach toll - und sehr stimmungsvoll. Fotografier doch mal einen Sommersonnenaufgang - so Mitte Juni ... ;-))
Grüße aus dem Schneematsch!

Hallo,
wirklich ein Bild mit Seltenheitswert. So oft sehen wir ja leider in der Kölner Bucht keinen Schnee. Die Farben des Himmels sind wirklich beeindruckend und wie der Dom zwischen den beiden Bäumen hervorsticht gefällt mir sehr.

Hello Thorsten,
A wonderful capture of the pastel coloured sky and the cathedral arising out of the mist. I like the way you've bracketed the picture with the two trees in the foreground, it adds depth and balance to the composition.
Regards,
Chrystyna
