on the wooden path Photo

Photographer’s Note

my version of the lake of Bled including this wooden path along the water,
an enchanting and unexpected/not planed visit of this place before to go to Croatia
the bad weather finally suits quite well with the spirit of this place

Salut Jonathan,

J'ai visité Bled au début des années 70, cela pour te dire combien ta belle photo évoque des souvenirs pour moi. Cet endroit n'a pas changé, heureusement.
Tu nous offres une belle composition. L'avant-plan avec ces planches constituent une belle originalité, un bel équilibre dans le positionnement de l'île par rapport aux montagnes. Une belle utilisation de la lumière (qui ne semblait pas des plus faciles) ce qui donne de beaux reflets dans l'eau du lac.
Amicalement,
Roger

Hi Jonathan,

This is a peaceful and pleasant composition. The atmosphere is very nice and the lack of distractions allow us to enjoy the calm waters and dramatic background. Good sharpness and soft colours to present this place. Cheers :-)

Bonjour Jonathan,
Une très belle composition avec ce ponton au premier plan. Toute l'image est d'une incroyable netteté ! Le ciel et le lac lisses avec ces couleurs plombées donnent une atmosphère particulière à la photo. Tèrs belle vue.

Salut JC,
Ton cadrage est élégant. La lumière est belle et l'église ainsi que son reflet se détachent très bien dans le ciel et le lac.
Amitiés

Hello Jonathan!
Excellent picture!
This low pov is fantastic! The wooden path is very sharp and I think it was a great idea using it as a lower frame!
The upper side of the scene is no less beautiful and interesting! That place is so nice and with this composition you made it different and wonderful, including a very good reflection!
TFS - Congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan Peçanhuk

macondo (12935) 2008-08-10 5:31

Hello Jonathan.
What a wonderful landscape you have photographed here, with the composition boldly including a generous amount of well detailed and close-up timbework. It forms a lovely contrast to the scene behind and the gentle diagonal makes the shot more interesting. The scene of the lake, mountains and church is just wondrous. A beautiful photograph.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Jonathan,
Lovely view of the lake of Bled,colourful and sharp.Maby a little to much from that wooden path at the foreground,it look so heavy in to that beautiful landscape.But that is my idea.
Thanks and kind greetings,
Frieda.

Hi Jonathan,
A great view over this lake. The calm blue water is beautiful with some nice reflections of the trees and tower. The silhouettes of the mountains and the dark blue clouds are a nice background and the wooden path is well included in the foreground. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Hello Jonathan,
very nice presentation of this dreamily place with the lake to create a perfect depth in the scene.The wooden jetty and the contractions on the depth make the scene so great.Excellent the management of the light and of the colors.Well done.

Have a nice week,danos

maltese (21527) 2008-08-10 11:58

Salut Jo
J'aime bien le contraste entre le côté rugueux du premier plan et la douceur de l'arrière plan, c'est bien composé et tu as su tirer un beau parti d'un temps pas forcement idéal pour la photo.
j'aime beaucoup le résultat!!

Hello,

quel cadrage, le ponton en bois avec le reflet de ce clocher de la petite ìle, de toute beauté, un magnigique bleu sur l'eau, superbe.

Bravoe t amitié

Hi Jonathan,
Yes the weather you had here was fortuitous indeed, the blue/brown palette is really nice. Love the diagonals in the foreground and the texture of the wood. How this comes to be sharp front to back at f/4.5 would appear to be a mystery to me!
Cheers
Craig

Salut jonathan

A wonderful view of the lake, with attractive colour & reflections. I like the angled planks of the fg pier contrasting againt the banded horizontals in the rest of the image. Bon travail!

jplebrun (16522) 2008-08-11 5:28

Bonjour Jonathan
j'aime beaucoup cette présentation de cette île au centre du lac avec ces montagnes embrumées en arrière plan. L'idée de garder le quai en avant plan est bien penser.
Amitiés
Jean-Pierre

brandstaetter (13606) 2008-08-11 11:28

Hi Jonathan,
my hometown is just behind the mountain :)
excellent idea to enclose the bridge in the foreground, and you got the church and the castle. I like this place.
Good one...
Cheers Christian

Bonjour Jo
Beautiful place by the lake. Lovely town on the other side of the lake with the spire dominating. Maybe I might have wanted some crop of the wooden path in the FG...it is too dominating & maybe perhaps a bit distracting from the lovely FG...my two pence thoughts! Otherwise excellent.

Angshu

Hi Jonathan!
I like your idea to have a "new" vision of the panorama of Bled's lake!
There is also a nice light and you caught it well.

Beautiful view, looks interesting with pier in the foreground - seems that the image has better depth. Great colors and cloudy sky.
Cheers,

Jonathan, c'est une très belle photo bien composée avec ce premier plan de bois. Ce paysage de carte postale est ainsi bien mis en valeur. Beaux reflets sur le lac au pied des montagnes.
Amicalement,
Jacques

JCG (24783) 2008-09-09 11:31

Bonsoir Jonathan,

Un cadrage vraiment original et qui équilibre bien la photo je trouve. Ce ciel dramatique apporte une atmosphère bien particulière au paysage et j'aime bien le reflet de l'église dans le lac. Agréable composition.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,

Jean-Charles
