[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Yes, yes, I know, this is a fake. This pretends to be something - or rather: somewhere - else. This is close to Sibiu, not Iceland.

Nonetheless there is a reason. My dear friend Anellise celebrates her birthday today. She´s turned 24 or so, doesn´t matter, and she loves Iceland, she loves green, she loves horses and she loves cloudy skies. Well, ok, the horses are small, the Iceland is Romania and she also loves roads - but there was no chance to build one, sorry, but roads are a problem here. I tried hard and this is the best I could manage.

I apologize for my less than mediocre photographic skills and my PP-beginners mistakes, but this is my dedication to you, my TE-goddess!

La Multi Ani!

Hello Johannes,
wonderful note along a beautiful picture. When you say you're sorry for your less............I hope you're just kidding! The shot is flawless, the painted sky so well contrasted by the green of the grass really make the difference and and it's beautiful to look at. Quality is excellent throughout, from the shot to the note everything is perfect..terrific effort indeed!
Thanks for sharing it.
Regards,

Igor

Nice one, Johannes, but, as I was telling someone who pointed your photo out to me, I feel like it lacks a subject, probably somewhere in the foreground. It looks like a beautiful background... We have a beautiful country, don't we? And I'm one of those who likes landscapes with trees in'em. But, as I said, in front of all this there should've been something else. You had a good eye, though. I guess with Anellise's PP skills this could become a very attractive photo. I think she'll like it.

Hi Johannes,

This must be a great surprise for her because your capture is marvellous with its untouched, natural colors. Excellent POV and way while reserving more space for cloudy sky and adding many visitors. A great works, congratulations.

Hi Johannes,

wonderfull dedication. I guess this friend of yours must be special. :) Maybe this is pretending but I do not see it that way. I see marvelous landscape from Romania, hidden beauty not seen everyday, a place to go back, to return to, to seek this beautiful scenery. Your capture is not medicre, is superb in all aspects. Wonderfull, just wonderfull.

Kind regards,
Jeri

Hi Johannes,
A beautiful empty landscape with the strange clouds above. The contrasts between clouds and grass are excellent. Simplicity at its best.
Well done!

Salut Johannes,

Tres belles photo et superbes lenticumaires.

Johannes,
what a beautiful birthday present for our common friend that is a real Iceland freak. Had I known that her birthday was so close I would have waited with my post of her in the Hagia Sophia.
I don't care if it is a fake Iceland shot or not. The image is fabulous and the simplicity of the green and the cloud formation on the sky are great.
Peter

Hi Johaness.
Spectacular landscape, with very nice colours, and a great POV. The only thing I've missed somewhere in the pict is the road...where is it?, anyway it's the same, I wouln't have liked it :)

Hi Johannes,
you've captured a really pleasant landscape here, with fantastic clear light. The sky is also gorgeous and contrasts the green of the grass in a great way.
Well done and best regards.
