Photographer’s Note

I made this photo two days ago, near the ranch of my father in law. Ranch is situated on the hills near Kosmaj mountain. This beautiful sky "against" old corn was a scene to remeber.

Kosmaj (Serbian Cyrillic: Космај) is the mountain south of Belgrade, the capital of Serbia. With 626 meters it is the highest point of the entire Belgrade City area and nicknamed one of two "Belgrade mountains" (the other one being the mountain of Avala).

The Kosmaj, is located 40 kilometers south-east of Belgrade. Entire area of the mountain belongs to the Belgrade City area, majority of it being in the municipalities of Mladenovac and Sopot, with eastern slopes being in the municipality of Grocka, and northern and north-western extensions in the municipalities of Barajevo and Voždovac.

It is specualted that the mountain was named after the Celtic word cos meaning woods, and maj pre-Indo-European word meaning mountain. It was later molded by the Romans into "Casa Maias", house of Maia, the goddess of spring.

Stvarno prelep pejzaz, svidjaju mi se boje, ali najvise ovaj suvi kukuruz u prvom planu :)
Pozdrav,

David, this is a fine shot, the colors are great and even in the darkening ground the detail is great. The streaks in the clouds from high flying aircraft also add nicely to the overall effect. Superb capture.

It is a very nice picture with a well done pp. I like the way the BG show the misty colours and the dramatic sky with all the plane lines crossing it in all directions.

Great sunset in a cold atmosfere, the blue in the horizon help to that. I like the orange triangle made by the sun too. Nice shot,

Hi, David! I think, this your landscape photo looks magnificently also because of the very colorful and harmonic foreground (corn plants or something like this). Another you picture with similar subject but without such FG also looks well, but this one is the best. Sincerely yours, Sergiy.

Hello David,
An impressive scene. Good light balance between the beautiful sky and the corn field. The blue zone on the middle makes this image stand out well.
Have a nice day, Hisashi
