Hi George,
The brook is perfectly shown. The bank of the brook is a delight to see with it's winding path & slope. The houses look great & well placed against the snowy mountain backdrop. Beautiful colors.

Szia George,
lovely light on that meadow of the high valley. I like the POV upwards along the creek, the houses and with the snowy peaks behind. Good sharpness.

Hello George,
A fine alpine landscape seen from an interesting point of view!
Seems like that winding little stream has put it's mark on the landscape, and I like the glimpse we get of the village...
A well composed presentation of the beautiful mountain landscape!

Hi George,
Was it in your previous post the road, here it's the little stream that winds nicely through the foreground. The houses are well placed up on the hill and on the right hand side, with the mountain slopes as a good background. The pleasant light completes it. Great work!

Hello George,
ce paysage est fantastique et la photo donne envie de prendre une bouffée de cet air qui y est et que l'on sent presque.
Une neige un peu surexposée je crois, un petit manque de contrastes.
La photo est nette en tous cas.
regards.
Daniel.

Hi George,
the runnel is the great plus here, the sharpness is superb with the superb lightness all the view , all the composition looks excellent.
A very beautiful place there.

Dear George
A beautiful setting with a fine perspective created with the narrow winding stream. You've got very fine light here as it lights up the log houses and the snowy slopes in the BG. Beautiful!

Hello George,
This picture looks like the decoration of an american movie, just like a perfect world that doesn't exist.
Nice little river twisting in front of nice little cottage in front of a snowy mountain: lovely.
