Photographer's Note

The rain dissappears between the mountains,while the sun is coming back in St Jacob village in the narrow Ahrntal valley.
Close to the Italian-Austrian border it is Italy's
most Northern area.

Bonjour Jan,

Cette image offre une atmosphère particulière grâce à cette lumière qui fait ressortir les bâtiments de l'image.
Un moment magique et éphémère entre pluie et soleil, très bien capturé et cadré. Magnifique.

Un grand bravo. Excellente journée,
Adriano

Hallo Jan,

Veel mensen balen als de lucht niet geheel
blauw is, maar ik denk dat jij net als
ik dan stilletjes sta te genieten.

De lucht zorgt hier voor wat geheimzinnigheid
en spanning, maar zorgt er ook voor dat
het gras extra groen is geworden.

Het geheel is heel goed verzorgd vastgelegd,
vanuit een mooie standpunt.

Vriendelijke groetjes,
Robert

The weather looks lame Jan
very lame indeed, but those Dutch photographers can take what conditions are offered and use it to the best of their ability.
The mood is overcast but it's dark enough to contrast well with the green grass. Composition is nice and the chapel stands out superbly. The sweeping hillside form the left really pleases my eye.

Hello Jan
This area looks great...I like how you've framed the village, the curves and the contrast between the vivid green grass and the greyish color tones in BG.
Cheers

Hello Jan,

This picture is a good illustration of the idea that a clear blue sky is not necessary to take a nice photo.
I like this dark sky and its contrast with the green hill in the foreground.
The composition is good with the church at the right place.

Hi Jan,
As it get close the border, it feel more like Austrian and Swiss landscape than Italian. Regardless, Europe are very close together so it can be difficult to differentiate the style of houses and landscape.
I like the melancholic mood here with the rain still hoovering between the mountain, Great details and nice color with very little light started to come through. I think it can be lighten just a tiny bit though.

Hello Jan ,
A wonderful composition , with amazing light conditions . The contrast of the lightened buildings with the dark BG is fantastic . But there is something that is curious : why does the grass seem to be still in the shade ? The efeffect of a PP ?
Anyway , i like this picture . And the WS of Waylim is interesting , too.

Hi Jan
I can completely understand why you wanted to photograph this beautiful scenery.
its gorgeous how the white buildings show up so brightly against the green and greys.
theh composition is also smart, having them spread about in opposite corners of the frames.
nice work here
cheers

Hi Jan

I don't know why, but this post makes me think of a landscape for railways toys! Good colors, and nice spotted houses even under a grey sky.

Hi Jan
What a gorgeous scene after rain, splendid shot with fantastic light and delicious colors. The conrast is realy excellent and enables the eye to focus on the
bright lighted white houses. The misty bg adds a certain atmosphere and mood to the shot. Awesome capture
Best regards

josepmarin (55063) 2011-04-16 5:35

Hi Jan,
I like the contrast that has the grey sky of the bottom of the valley, while it is raining, and the luminosity of this beautiful village and its church in foreground, already illuminated by the Sun, as well as the vivid green tones of the landscape.
It is a beautiful postcard on this charming place, excellently captured by means of a good framing.
A great work.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Jan. No wonder I marked you as one of my favourite photographers. Beautiful scene- balanced, filled with charming details, lovely nuances in hues and a masterful control of a difficult light. Regards. Klaudio.

A beautiful mood captured here! The village is cute & very beautiful nestling in the foothills. The church is a strong focal point of interest in this picture postcard !

Hi Jan!
Technical not the best of yours but I understand the circumstances with this poor light.....The composition is great,everything is at the perfect position and I like how the mountains dissappear in the clouds in the far distance.
Good work!!!
Regards,leo

Hello Jan,

I like this kind of landscape view in bad weather time. I think it provides originality and special mood versus sunny landscape.
I find this shot successful with especially a strong composition with the village in foreground and the valley going far in background and disapearing in the rain.

Yves.
