Hi Pablo,

You lived in a very beautiful place. I'd love to stay there and appreciate this view. I like your compo with the diagonal line and the tree at the left. The haze also created an interesting atmosphere. Well done!

Hi Pablomito,
This place is beautiful. I like the diagonal composition in foreground and those misty hills at the back. Interesting wooden bars, may also be good if you close up a little bit. Excellent shot.

Hi Pablo! Immense the extent of view of eye! Marvellous the opinion with the foggy mountains in the extent, the river in the depth and the first level with the simple but beautiful setting impress I like the countryside of your region,

Hi Pablo,
this one tells about the weather conditions in the morning and about the hills and mountains around the valley. The foreground with a bot more sharpness and the fence as border to get softer is well done here. The tree is the one detail we need.

Hallo Pablo!
Here the haze gives an a bit mystic atmosphere and this diagonal fence creates a wonderful proportioning of the scenery. I like all these geared ridges. A beautiful region ...

I'm off on holidays for 10 days tomorrow so no uploads from me for a while. A good high pov, with nice graphism of the fence, which also adds depth. Tfs!

Hi Pablo,
great continuation of this dedicated series The Valley of My Childhood, is a great photography. The immense depth of field through winding mountains is excellent and seem watercolors.
The light is very smooth and dynamic simultaneously. The wood fence crossing the image in diagonal helps to consolidate the image.

Best regards,

Jordi

Hello Pablo,

This combination of note and photograph comprise a beautiful photoessay of your world. The gentle slope in the foreground, set against the valley in the background. I reminds me a little of the sites along the train ride to Flem. Warm regards, and have a good weekend.

Hi Pablo,

A spectacular view of the valley, of the river and of the mountains some sligthly hidden by the mist. The curve of the river leads our eyes towards the mountains. There is a good contrast between the colors. the subject is well framed. Have a nice day.

Hi, Pablo. You've chosen a very good POV which shows us the meanders of the river and the succession of hills. This creates a very good depth in the picture. I like the green foreground and the wooden fence that creates a good diagonal line. But I must amdit I'm a little disapointed with the sky that looks too hazy to me. I suppose this is due to the difficult light conditions.

Bonjour, cher Pablo,
Vous êtes béni des Dieux pour obtenir de telles photographies de paysages.
La beauté est bien présente à travers cette composition. Les barrières délimitant la vallée sont magnifiques et donnent à l'ensemble un effet de relief à l'ensemble.
Félicitations pour votre oeil photographique très développé.

Hi Pablo. We have a salmon fishery here now, after many years of releasing salmon into a handful of rivers in the South Island they have become self sustaining and provide for recreational anglers and some commercial fishermen. Great photo. I love the way the river curls away into the mist. Well composed and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Hello Pablo,

Indeed the springtime is in Belgium all more green than in your country.
Lovely landscape picture with pleasant colours.
This image gives a fine feeling through the soft colours and the green gloom about the mountains.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Have a nice sunday,

Hello Pablo
Oh it's an old photo as I see - You took it almost two years ago... I like it - love sharp foreground and unsharp background, their other colouring, and contrast between hills and valley covered by the fog and the second part of picture where is no fog. It's fine that it's a fence which nice shared the composition.

Hi Pablo,

There's nothing I can add to what so many qualified members had already pointed out here but congratulations for those 13 years you lived in Gauldalen which, looking at this so nicely done picture, seems like one of those magical places of fairly tale books.

God ukedager!

• Greg1949 (5233)
• [2008-05-04 7:28]

Pablo, this view is a normal view to you I suppose but to me it is an unusual one. I think that is because I would think of your country as fjords, or snowy forests, and these preconceived notions of a place are exactly why TE is so good, it opens our eyes more to what the reality of a place is. Fine capture.

Hi Pablo,
Beautiful landscape, from a great POV, in a composition that has a good depth of field and an excellent contrast between the green meadow in FG and the valley that is fading away among the mist, forming a few interesting layers and a good range of gray tones.
It gives a very attractive aspect to the photo.
Great work.

Hello Pablo,
This is a wonderful composition with the several layers of mountains fading on background, and the river zig zagging thru them.
Also this small tree and the wooden fence balance well the compo creating depth and tridimensionality on the photo.

Hi Pablo,
What an incredible view of this lovely narrow river valley with the winding river snugely flowing blowing between the mountains. The misty sky gives this image a dreamy feel. I like the contrast between the brilliant green foregrond and the muted misty backgrond.

Hello Pablo,

Mountains don't need to be very high to create a nice dramatic effect. The view here is beautiful with the low mountains creating good saturation of the background. The haze or cloudy conditions add a nice perspective to the moment. Well done Pablo.

it's the best captured haze in all the TE. While for others haze is an obstacle (for me too), you show how nicely can look a hazy landscape sometimes. Thanks for the free lesson!-))

Hi Pablo,
I always have a mixed feeling when visiting my birth place as I tend to miss the good old days so looking down at this valley must be more interesting for you as it is for me. I like the presence of the broken fence as it suggested time and the changes that is taking place here. Well done!!

Happy recollection.

• feather (40121)
• [2008-05-05 6:57]

The mist actually works well to emphasise the several layers of mountains in the background, as they fade as we get further away. The sloping foreground with the broken fence works well to frame the view beyond. Well done

Lovely Norwegian river landscape very romantic in this misty light conditions, the fence makes a good DOF and a good diagonal for the comp.

Hi Pablo, this is a very cool shot. I like when you can get different levels of hill seen in a fog or mist. Normally the different levels will include 3 or 4 different hills. Depending on how I count this, I'm seeing 7 or 8. Very nicely done. To do this, is this straight from the camera, as I imagine any work in levels or curves would destroy this effect? The composition is good with the river running between the hills, and I like that fence, and the single tree on the left. The grass up front sets a base for the shot. Very nice.

Thanks, John

• Angshu (24514)

Hello Pablo
The light was not very conducive for you as it appears. But the layers of mountains in the mist creates a wonderful depth in the scene. The patch of green grass in the FG, the snake like river winding through the valley also make this attractive. Good work!

Some times we see views like this and because the fog covers the mountains I don't get a shot but here you did it and got an excellent photo, a superb one. very good contrast with the lonely tree and the wooden fence in good clarity and then the mountains and river covered with the superb haziness. Good work.
Well done.

I liked this pov, the fence and the tree build a nice limit to the scenery, the mountains in the background are very interesting. I Think air is so bluesh I would like to see a version in B&W with more contrast, I think it would be more powerful. Anyway it is a nice compo

Hello Pablo,
thanks God now I could see the portrait of a great photographer in his intro. Just a question, when are you coming to Malaysia, Jusni and I will welcome you very much. If you create postcards from your shots,it will be a hotstuff - they are really wonderful.
Like this one, besudes the demarcation of lines in the fore ground with added beauty of leafless tree and dark fences, the story in the Bg is brillint. The meandering river, distance mountains of a few tones , pestel sky to give calm and peace,and exciting contrast. Gret composition and well thought and highly skill eyes can do this plus a nice subject.
Great knowing you.

Regards,
Foozi
