Photographer’s Note

Poprad in autumn colours in Oct 1994. Poprad is little village in the High Trata of Slovakia.

A little bit hidden right between the trees you could see our rental holiday home where we were on vacation with our children. No electricity!!! We had to do firewood for heating a really old oven.

Addtional remark regarding the comments:
Poprad has more than 100.000 inhabitants. So it's not a little village. I think on the pic a suburb of Poprad is shown.

Second addtional remark (thanks to Michal (nex) to post this information):
Poprad is the name of the river the flows under the foothills of the High Tatras, and the city is named after it. Actualy you have been probably in the cottage that was called Poprad, which is nothing surprising, because many restaurants and and hotels are named after it. This is probably Zdiar (about 30kms from the Poprad city) which is one the most beautiful villages under Tatras

Hallo Achim,
Good scanned, with a great result in the quality of image.
This landscape, in a perfect and elegant setting, is very beautiful, has a few tones and a lighting that they give it a really beautiful and agreeable aspect of painting at sight.
I like much how it enters the low light of the Sun for the left side creating a few long shades and a few textures of water-color.
Great photo, my friend, deserves to be among my favorites.
Best regards,
Josep

This is a very beautiful shot, Achim. I like the 'landscape painting' feel of it and the lovely warm colours. Except for the bus on the road, it is like stepping back in time. Well seen and framed.

Stepan (27175) 2007-03-23 2:53

Looks like a painting... Lovely place in a lovely soft light...
You composed that perfectly. Very well done.

Hallo Achim,
sehr stimmungsvolles Morgen- oder Abendlicht. Ich rate eher Morgen wegen der Dunstschleier. Traumhafte schöne Landschaft und eine sehr gute Scanqualität. Du hast herrlich aufgenommen, wie sich die Hügel ineinanderschmiegen.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hello Achim,
A lovely rural scenery in backlight!
This looks like a classical painting, even the composition and the colour palette is matching...
Good foreground interest and a fine feeling of depth!

Bonsoir Achim,
I loike this compo, where you managed nicely with this beautiful light.
Soft colors are very pleasant, and I like the DOF, reduced by the mist.

Its hard to believe this is a picture, the pastel colors are the core of this shot. What marvelous colors and contrast of it.
Slovakia is one of the most beautiful countries in nature, well captured Achim.

Hi John,

A very pretty landscape with the natural colors. I like very much the contrast between the foreground and the last plan which gives much relief. A moved back area which must be very pleasant to rest and benefit from quiet holidays. To discover, thank you Achim.

With my all friendships and a good WE,

Jean-Charles

jafadabret (40717) 2007-03-24 11:49

Achim, c'est un paysage de rêve que tu nous présentes. J'aime la lumière qui perce la brume pour révéler de belles couleurs de l'automne naissant.

Ansonsten ist schon alles gesagt. Glückwunsch zu diesem Bild!
