Burning river Photo

Photographer’s Note

I`ve decided to upload one more photo before I leave. This is also Slupia river, 1-2 hours before sunset. The reflection in the water associates me with a flame, that`s the reason for a title.
The photo was made with a PL filter.
Nothing great, but I like it ;)

What a wonderful shot.
The colours and composition.
It's obvies you used a colour tone on the bottom half, and in my opinion, you could have done it on the whole frame since it looks odd only on the reflection part. After all, how can the reflection be red like a sunset, on a blue sky?

Great comp, awesome colors, bon voyage!!

Hello Henrik,
Nice sky, well reflected in the water.
The foreground is almost too dense.

Hi Henryk,
beautiful dramatic reflection. The clouds are doing great in the sky too.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Hi Henryk - it's a beautiful image IMO, with two interesting pretty halves, the reflection of the large cloud providing the connection. Regards, Daniel

witam

piekne niebo i swietny kontrast z "plonacym" dolem. ciekawi mnie tylko rozmycie traw. moze to kwestia kiepskiego wyswietlacza u mnie w pracy ale wygladaja jaby padly ofiara odszumiania mocnego. najpierw myslalem ze to wiatr ale widze ze czas migawki krotki. jak piszesz niby nic wielkiego ale ma cos w sobie. bardzo mile w odbiorze

pozdrawiam serdecznie

Look at these colors and what a sky ... you made my day with this photo. What a magnificent evening you show us ... wonderful.

Hi Henryk,
Excellent view. The colors, lighting, reflection and sky are excellent. Well done, greetings.

TeresaT (10733) 2006-04-28 16:52

Hello my dear Henrique ;-)
brrr...You put a photo and don't tell me...
I was right when I sayed that you are good on landscapes with water reflections...and this one is a good exemple of that.
The sky is great...the reflections also.
And I like the warm tones of the vegetation.
But I think you shouldn't leave...but that's your decision...I will be very sad if you do that...TE will never be the same without you...but I'm sure you are going to reconsider this ;-)
Well have a nice weekend and good luck for your competition.
Kisses = Beijos
Teresa

Witaj Henryczku!
Ciekawa koncepcja kolorystyczna
£adnie roz³o¿ona temperatura barw, równowazy siê delikatnie!
Sympatyczna, weekendowa kompozycja i piekne chmurki!
Buziaczki!

syd1946 (17965) 2006-04-28 18:02

Hello Henryk,
I like your photo very much.Clouds are very
impresive and the river is like to be burning.
Very intresting shot!

Best wishes,
Thomas

nicol_g (767) 2006-04-28 18:06

Hi Henryk!
So, the same Slupia river but...without the swans!!! Still, this time there is some "fire" (remember my observation regarding one of your comp. with the same place?). And indeed the strong orange light contouring the clouds reflected into the water gives a strong illusion of "flame".
Hmm, "water" and "fire"? Two "opposites elements" (doesn't the water extinguish the fire?!)... very well merged into your composition!
My best wishes for you,
Nicoleta.
P.S. Are you leaving without seeing my photos? :))

Wahclellaspirit (3017) 2006-04-28 20:47

Henryk,
Very nice clouds and reflections in the river,
Steve

pranab (5354) 2006-04-28 20:49

henryk,
great color scheme. it is flaming in the water. your dof is great thus enables us to explore the details in the shaded areas too. wonderful composition.

plimrn (19694) 2006-04-29 3:21

Dear Michal,
As always, you've captured wonderful details, amazing light and and reflections. It's hard to tell which grass is reflected and which is seen directly. The clouds a re beautiful in the sky and the reflection. I really like your new personal photo, You are still a sweet baby. I hope that you are speaking only of a trip and not leaving TE as Theresa suggested.
Regards, Pat

Angshu (34093) 2006-04-29 3:44

Burning river indeed Henryk...you do have an uncanny aptitude in handling light. The contrast & the light is just phenomenal

Czołem Waszmości (;
Efekt, jak spotkanie 2 swiatów. Barwnie fajne, jednak przycialbym z góry troszkę, bo mi żal amputowanej w połowie chmury. A swoją drogą, jak można tak brutalnie obchodzić się z chmurami??? Zobaczysz, kiedyś w końcu wyskoczymy na plenerek, a niebo będzie łyse... i to będzie Twoja wina (;

riclopes (33131) 2006-04-29 5:41

Witaj Henryk
How nice that you finally decided to post another one of your marvellous captures of late afternoon in the Slupia river. Again I don't understand the 'nothing great'...This is a marvellous impressionist painting, with strong colours and contrasts under a special lighting. I love the rose tone on the water surface and the clouds in the sky are again, very well positioned... Good work!
pozdrawiam,
Have a nice weekend,
Ricardo

dziki_rysio_997 (425) 2006-04-29 5:47

Czo³em,
Ob³oki + woda + Henryk wyposa¿ony w aparat= udane zdjêcie ;-)
Kolejne ciekawe miejsce, choæ pewnie nie tak daleko od poprzednich jak przypuszczam. Fajne ujêcie, dobrze wkomponowa³e¶ rzekê w kadr. Ale najwiêkszym plusem i tak jest "dynamiczne" pokazanie ob³oków i kolorystyka, szczególnie ognisto¶æ rzeki zestawiona z jasnymi ob³okami i skrawkami b³êkitu.
Pozdrawiam,
Damian

john_c (24635) 2006-04-29 11:28

Hi Henryk,
A well composed shot of this fascinating marsh scene. The tones and hues are alluring, though you were fighting some light. I like the overall effect of the filter. There is spring enchantment here and a slight air of mystery.
John

pablominto (41340) 2006-04-30 0:48

Hi Henryk,
Great reflections... Good lines!
Mysterious lighting, as the sky seems to have a different colours from the reflection of the sky! Interesting...

josepmarin (34081) 2006-05-01 5:49

Hi Henryk,
A beautiful and amazing image. This river with the so quiet and calm water reflected of dramatic form and with great beauty the spectacular sky that it has above, with reddish tones that really that seems it is burning.
The clouds are wonderful, and they contribute with the rest of elements and its beautiful colors to create an excellent composition.
Regards,
Josep

tonyking (1599) 2006-05-01 6:44

Hi Henryk,
This pic has a really nice 'feel' to it. The reflections of the backlit clouds almost do appear to be the colour of flames but the overall image has a nice tranquility to it. There's also a nice contrast between the vivid colour of the sky against the softer, subdued colours of the rest of the pic.
Nice work, my friend.

Best wishes,
Tony

Very attractive landscape... The contrast of colours and light is charming and well captured, with nice perspective and enquadrement. I particulary loe the clouds in the sky.
Good job!

Gregtom (7119) 2006-05-04 2:34

Cześć, Henryku!
Niesamowite wrażenie! Rzeczywiście, rzeka płonie, ale jakimś takim niesamowitym, trochę strasznym płomieniem... Ciekawa atmosfera, dobra do głębokich przemyśleń. A z tym odchodzeniem, to zadziałało jak z Mohammadem Hesamianem, który musiał się potem tłumaczyć z tytułu zdjęcia i zapewniać, że nie odchodzi, hehe! Muszę przyznać, że też się prawie nabrałem!
Dzięki i pozdrawiam,
Grzesiek
