A beautiful bright winter view!
The light is brilliant and creates wonderful blue and pink tones on the water, the bridge and the villa.
Excellently composed.

Allô Luciano!
Une belle photo d'hiver mais je préfère être ici à 30°. Le point de vue est magnifique avec la rivière, le pont et le château derrière. Tout est là et la scène est merveilleuse. pas de soleil mais ça n'enlève rien à la beauté de la photo. Beau travail et parfaite composition.
Toutes mes amitiés,
Emilius

Hello Luciano,

This is a beautiful winter shot of this classic spot. Good reflections in the water and I like the pinkish hue of the image and the diffuse light.

What a fabulous shot Luciano. The river leads the eye to the small bridge and beautiful view beyond. I love the light; there appears to be the merest hint of pink in the sky and across the stonework and reflected in the river. Very lovely. Warm regards Rosemary

holmertz (26900) 2013-02-19 8:01

Hello Luciano,
This is a brilliant winter view. The river makes nice bends and the bridge, trees and buildings are very beautiful. Most of all I admire the cilours and fine light, especially in the upper half of the composition. There are some lovely shades of mild blue, yellow and pink.
Kind regards,
Gert

Kamilutka (3207) 2013-02-19 8:21

Luciano,
great scene! It is amazing how much can you bring up considering that you had so limited colors! Amazing result in my opinion. The whole composition is not only well organized but also well proportioned. Nice and subtle light.
Well done
Kamila

Hansaphotos (5417) 2013-02-19 8:23

Hello Luciano

What a beautiful winter photo. Very nice colours. I like how the narrow trees placed on each side of the bridge accentuates the height in this fabulous composition. Excellent:) TFS. Have a nice week.

Best regards, Erling

ikeharel (37254) 2013-02-19 8:49

An outstanding winter view, Luciano, but so cold... this what picture conveys anyway.
Fine clear details in view along the river, DOF and light well collected.
Buona serata,

Salut Luciano,
Très jolie photo avec ce beau paysage enneigé,le petit pont et la rivière.De jolies teintes pastel,une
lumière splendide et de beaux reflets dans l'eau.J'adore!
Bonne soirée,
Gigi.

Romano46 (4806) 2013-02-19 11:11

Ciao Luciano,
anche dalle tue parti la neve disegna spettacoli di tutto rispetto e mi sembra che ne approfitti a piene mani.
Molto bella questa per il taglio verticale e i colori molto delicati che danno un'atmosfera fiabesca a questo luogo. La composizione mi sembra perfetta con il fiume a far da soggetto con i suoi riflessi e le acque azzurrine che riflettono questo cielo ricco di gelo.
Ciao e buona serata
Romano

krzychu30 (8817) 2013-02-19 14:41

Hello Luciano,
although I´ve neven been there,it´s undeniably beautiful place and you knew how to present it on the photo.The winter scenery,even if it makes color scheme more modest it creates here very nice kind of "sleepy" and "fairytale" atmosphere.I like it-beauty of this place in combination with so nice mood created by you gives spectacular outcome.

Kind regards
Krzysztof

jcpix (3235) 2013-02-19 19:52

Ciao Luciano,

A very nice winter scene, even if it is really cold! :) Good framing to use the river as a lead into the main subject. It actually has a bit of a mystical atmosphere, definitely an old world kind of ambiance. The reflections on the water are minimal, but add a nice touch of interest to the snow covered landscape. The diffused light also gives intrigue, helping to warm up the and give a bit of life to the image. Thanks for braving the weather to share this photo.

Cheers,

Jason

Have a nice evening

sevy (13269) 2013-02-21 0:03

Hello,

Is it the Castelletto close to Cornaredo?
Whatever, I like this winter snow shot. You did a good framing in the vertical frame to use the dark river as a path for the reader to naturally reach the old bridge in background.

Yves.

raszid62 (18178) 2013-02-21 0:49

Ciao Luciano,
what a lovely winter reportage from Italy. Somehow I never imagined that you have a real winter over there except for the Alps of course.
Very picturesque spot here smartly used. The slight fog adds a nice atmosphere. Reflections in the river make a pleasant foreground,
Excellent work,
M

Caro Luciano

Ahhh che bella. Merita un posto nella rivita turistica. La foto ricordami delle fiabbe della mia infanzia. Perfetto il scelto del taglio verticale, i riflessi sono ben resi e la profonditá di campo é come un rasioio. Complimenit, una delle piué belle foto che abbia visto per questo mese.

Un abbraccio\

Noel_Byrne (7301) 2013-02-28 11:30

Hi Luciano,
I can admit to never having seen this scene before, so probably a special treat for me. An absolutely beautiful winter scene, you can feel the crisp sharp bite in the air through your shot, and the buildings are wonderful.
All the best

Hi Luciano
look who's back!
did you go anywhere? of just taking a TE break?
what a lovely photo i must say!
the small double arched bridge is the key focal point for me, especially with the light striking it gently.
excellent blended colors of white and blues.
picture perfect :)

Tadeusz

pierrefonds (48321) 2013-03-03 15:21

Bonsoir Luciano,

La longueur de la rivière donne de la profondeur à l'image. Les reflets sur l'eau sont des atouts à la composition. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs des arbres givrés. La bonne luminosité valorise les couleurs de l'image. Bonne soirée.

Pierre

ChrisJ (86818) 2013-03-04 3:54

Ciao Luciano

A fantastic winterscape from Milan area with a smart choice of a vertical frame. Good sharpness and well composed using the rule of thirds. Nice reflections in the icy water and good lighting contrasts and graphism. The bridge in the bg is well positioned near the vanishing point. Tfs!

batalay (32846) 2013-03-04 4:50

Ciao Luciano,

I can only join the chorus of admirers of this gorgeous photo, which is fast becoming a classic on TE. The composition could not be better, the colors are subdued, and the depth of field is exquisite.

Warm regards,

Bulent

josepmarin (55015) 2013-03-05 4:42

Ciao Luciano,
ésta es tu foto 800 aquí. Complimenti!
Y es una preciosa toma del río, con el viejo puente y la elegante Villa al fondo, en medio de un paisaje nevado, que has captado en un frío día de invierno, con una luz especial, unos suaves colores y unos sutiles reflejos sobre el agua.
Me gusta el aspecto de acuarela que has dado a la foto.
Excelente trabajo, caro amico.
Un abbraccio,
Josep
