winter breeze Photo

Photographer’s Note

I guess I will be returning back to Notranjska many times. Specially in this days of fog and semi-rain. The gentle touch of sun rays, tender winter breeze playing with frost on leaves, fresh air of a clear bright day, well how not to look back.

Rain falls but no life is given
Weeks pass, no progress is made
Past sometimes takes you with soft hands
And all that surrounds you will fade

Bonne année .
Christian .

Hi Jeri,

you always have great ideas and also a perfect quality in your photos. Here I like the composition and the nice contrast between the blurred dark background and the lit foreground, also the movement coming in from the falling drops.
Good job !
Cheers Christian

Hi Jeri, of the many ice-photos I´ve seen this winter, yours is the best! Beautiful contrasts, and captured just the right moment! Regards, Johannes

Valerka (8159) 2008-01-08 11:29

Zdravei, Jeri,
Bravissimo for this lovely shot where the twig with leaves is so fragile!
A wonderful capture! It's like a painting or a jewel.
Extraordinary!

Hi Jeri.

Another lovely, crisp shot. I love the focus on the higher branch and the blurred background. I'm not too sure about the inclusion of the lower branch in focus - but the shot works very well. Great sharpness and lovely winter light and colour.
Kind regards, Paul.

Tale mi je pa res vsec Jeri. Brez listja levo spodaj bi bila precej manj privlačna. Ozadje naredi fajn vertikale, padajoče ivje pa lepe diagonale, ki povezujejo obe veji. Dobro izbrana tudi globinska ostrina.

Beautifull lights anf unusual way to show the this frozen winter,perfect choice of perspective,thanks for share this 1st class pic,have a nice day,Luciano

Hey Jeri!

Zelo lepo ujet prizor. ravno pravšnja izostritev v ospredju, super blurano v ozadju. Super barve.

Ja kak lejpo! kot bi notranjci "djal". Hm, vsaj mislim da.

V glavnem, uživaj. :)

zhelach (3590) 2008-01-08 22:28

Zdravo Jeri!
Predivna zimska fotografija!
Pozdrav, Zorica

Hello Jeri.
As time passing I understand that I have a language problem to comment your shots.I don't find the proper adjectives for that. I have lack of them! For this reason I can only say EXCELLENT.-.-!!!! I'm afraid that from now on I would comment of one word....
My best regards
Argyris

Hi Jeri,
wonderful and elegant touch,I like very much the details.
The composition is very interesting with that branch upside.
It's interesting,something quite new.WOnderful colours as always.
Regards,
Horatiu

ChrisJ (70443) 2008-01-10 1:39

Hi Jeri

Perfect use of differential or selective focus, to isolate & emphasise fg detail. Fantastic sharpness & colour, on the frost encrusted yellow leaves. Tfs!

azaf1 (15547) 2008-01-10 1:45

Hi Jeri
I'm stunned by this beauty!
Amazing transparency and detail
Compliments, my fairy lady, many compliments

Ciao Jeri,
beautiful the trees that warm up leave to fall of the beautiful water drops.
technically perfect as usual for you

tjanze (5674) 2008-01-11 2:24

Pozdravljena Jeri!
Še ena odlična.Svetloba je fantastična,drevesa zadaj so ravno prav zblurana,ostrina super.
Kapljice v zraku dajo zraven še nek občutek gibanja.Nikonove barve,kot vedno zelo dobro nasičene. Bravo!
Vlado!

AKITA (5589) 2008-01-11 13:27

Dear Jeri,
a moving moment, an amazing atomosphere, an impressing image.
I feel your heart vibrating in this situation.
perhaps you may see the small eternity in this light and shadow in an instant.

thank you,
Akihisa

Dyerco (9310) 2008-01-11 18:49

Wonderful back lighting that emphasizes the colours in the leaves and the frost.
Nicely composed.
Phil

Guillem69 (4) 2008-01-12 0:23

Just a detail can make this great shot. Leaves dropping snow , that you has get on image in a good way, light nicely captured, contrast is correct, sharpness OK and depth of field well used to separate foreground and background perfectly.

bulent78 (2286) 2008-01-12 1:23

hello,
Bravoooooo,
wonderful picture.
bülent

prises2vues (531) 2008-01-12 2:22

Gorgeous shot. I love the sharpness and delicate look of the frost and leaves. Good framing too, situating them at the top of the picture. The openig of f/4.5 seems a good choice as it gives a fine lur to the trees in the background so we can make them out, without them taking our interest away from the foreground

anvlaan (283) 2008-01-12 5:07

Hi Jeri,
what an excellent POV you presented here! Great focus and details, nice lighting and colors. I like a lot the spirit of this winter photo! Thanks for sharing and congratulations with your D70s :)
Anton

ilvao (2248) 2008-01-13 12:19

Dear Jeri,

you are a artist and your gallery is a must
all the best

Very well nature detail shot from you. Composition is perfect.

bwiti (402) 2008-01-15 14:48

This one is magnificent! Full of elegance and sharpness... I like your choice of centring and your choice of bokeh...
Do you know this one ?

josepmarin (34131) 2008-01-16 3:55

Hi Jeri,
Nice composition, simple but very effective to graphical level. I like the contrast between the frosted leaves illuminated by the Sun, the blurry background and the drops falling down, with a very dynamic effect.
The set has a lot of aesthetic strenght, I like it.
Best regards,
Josep

BoisBarb (9409) 2008-01-17 5:00

Simple mais si esthétique. La beauté des détails du givre ressort parfaitement du fond plus flou.

Hello Jeri!!
I like your shot! Clearness is good , but I like a lot those red leafs, very nice winter composition...well done!!

Alessandro

Truja (4948) 2008-01-29 1:03

Hi Jeri,
delicate and beautiful photography with the detail of great quality that shapes the fight between two natural forces: the sun against the ice. Those drops of defrosting produced by the impact of the sun falling to the ground are fantastic.
We can appreciate the brown color of the leaves once the sun warms up them with its rays. Elegant presentation with the vertical and excellent format the exhibition of the image.

Salut, Jordi

degani (2876) 2008-01-31 23:02

Beautiful image Jeri, great idea and very well done, I like also the colours and light beam over the leaves, great capture, brava
ciao

baclama (4701) 2008-02-07 4:59

bonjour,
je viens de faire un tour dans ta gallerie,elle est magnifique, remplie d'arbres.
J'aime celle-là pour son cadrage decentré, ses couleurs, sa luminosité et ce givre qui embellit cette pauvre branche...
bravo
vero

CatherineD (4860) 2008-02-07 8:58

This shot is also excellent! I like how you play with the light and your attention for tiny details.
To the next...
Catherine

Cpamoi (10329) 2008-02-16 5:40

Hello,
belle image, le choix de la PDC est judicieux, et j'aime beaucoup la présence de ces cristaux qui tombent de l'arbre
bien vu!

Raphaël

clio (23123) 2008-03-07 1:15

Dober dan Jeri,
Fortunately you don't publish photos every day so I can catch up my delay for all the photos which I like and which I haven't commented yet!
I like the way with which you bring to light this detail met during a walk: as a jewel in its case. The oppositions neatness / vagueness and shadows / light are perfected. Golden leaves are magnificent in this bluish environment and then there are these small drops which streak the image with the thaw.
It is charming!
Thank you for the lesson of Slovenian with the help fro Miha, I keep it in a file for when I shall return in Slovenia!
Prijatelski pozdrav (or Prjatlski)!
Diane

speedymanu (1596) 2008-03-18 4:16

Hello Jeri

a great composition in which you've made a skillfull use of depth of field. The backlit leaves seem to shine of thier own. A very delicate and subtle image.

Congratulations

Emmanuel

marrty (235) 2008-03-28 14:56

Dear Jeri,
This is simply a splendid photo. The light shining through the leaves gives a very nice atmosphere, and the composition is interesting too, what with the leaves in the lower left-hand corner that almost go unnoticed. Well done!
Best, Martijn

steliosk (4784) 2008-03-29 16:36

Very clever photograph, I don't know how did you caught that rain drop with 1/125, but that part have been captured perfectly and I think its the soul of your picture.
The DOF is outstanding too, and the main branch at the top works very clever, and give a sign of hope for a better weather.
Splendid job, I enjoy viewing your very interesting photos my friend

Many Regards
Stelios

sagar (2307) 2008-04-11 3:53

Hi Jeri,

danos (33330) 2008-04-13 0:45

Good morning Jeri,

Hellas (5095) 2008-07-02 23:51

What a beautiful picture! Perfect focus and pleasing background blur! The light is terrific, emphasizing the details of the main subject.
I like it!

Greetings,
Athanasios.

jusninasirun (10213) 2008-10-10 21:45

Hi Jeri. Sharp focus here in shallow depth. Brilliant framing with beautiful light catching on the snow flake. Very graphical and clever work here. Well done. Jusni

clic (4065) 2008-11-11 13:38

Hello Jeri
This is not a picture.....but an ode to winter, a poem and a proof of know how!
Such delicacy at foreground over the unobtrusive backdrop.
A fine piece of art!
Cheers.
Robert

silvio_morena (65) 2008-12-21 14:55

Whose woods these are l think l know
His house is in the village, though
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow

My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year

He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake

The woods are lovely, dark and deep
But l have promises to keep
And miles to go before l sleep
And miles to go before l sleep

:))

Charo (31851) 2009-02-28 16:46

Hola Jeri,

Un abrazo,
Charo
