Hi Christian,
Beautiful mist clad mountains!
The sunrays scattered through the trees into the mist look just as lovely.
Wonderful composition.

Hallo Christian!
Ein wunderschönes und beeindruckendes Foto, das irgendwie auch eine feierliche Stimmung hat. Die verschiedenen Diagonalen bauen sich toll hinereinander auf. Dieser Blick ist wirklich hinreißend ...
Grüße aus dem kalten und sonnigen Westfalen - und alles Gute für's neue Jahr!

Wherever in Tuscany or in Austria you like those landscapes with fog !! I'm glad you do, since each time you produce gorgeous pictures! Useless to describe how the blacks are deep, the whites are soft , the grays .... It is simply superb !!
Bravo Christian and Happy 2009 !
No doubt that we'll have next year the pleasure to comment many of your great photos

Christian,
this is probably of of the best of your series. I love it! The mist through the silouhetted trees is gorgeous as well as the different layers in the pictures and the soft tones. Straight to my favs!

Ciao Christian,
bellissimo l'effetto della luce che filtra attraverso gli alberi in primo piano. Le tue nebbie sono le più belle di TE, sei bravissimo!
Ciao, buona domenica!

Hallo Christian,
Prima Licht, herrliche Farben und dann dieser Nebel...
Sehr schön gemacht und viele schöne Bilder im neuen Jahr!
Marc

feather (51128) 2008-12-28 6:35

The combination of sunlight and mist can produce some wonderful results and this image is stunning. The strong diagonal from the trees on the mountain slope is a good feature of the composition. The several layers of mountains fading in the hazy light are a delight. Excellent work

Mist and clouds among the trees and the mountains always offer a great chance for a superb photo. And you took this chance! You also controlled the lights perfectly. Congratulations!

npecanhuk (53889) 2008-12-28 10:19

Hello Christian!
Another very pleasant image! The low clouds illuminated by the first rays of the sun are such an effect to compose this image! Then we have all those layers of trees, hills and high mountains, mostly dark with a redish mark on top of everything! Yes, I truly enjoy this picture!
TFS - Congratulations!
All the best in 2009!
Neyvan

Catherine

eversmile (11624) 2008-12-28 11:01

Hi Christian

Superb! Superb! Superb! The light you have captured is really beautiful, with a touch of magic, through the fog. The composition is a jewel with this first line of trees on the hill, and the diffrent hues of the mountains in the background. Congratulations!
Regards
Marine

Ce paysage de Carinthie est absolument magnifique sous cette superbe lumière qui joue avec la brume recouvrant la vallée. La composition est très belle et les tons de l'image splendides.
Amicalement et bonne fin d'année
JJ

coco (30433) 2008-12-29 4:53

Hi Christian.

Beautiful, very beautiful landscape. The long lens is really necessary if you want to do an impressive landscape like this one (and always a great light too).

Regards.

downer (246) 2008-12-29 8:09

Oh, how I love the elusive shadows that the trees cast on the fog. Magical image. I wish you an even more inspirational New Year! Cheers, Ioanna

zanzi (12608) 2008-12-29 10:46

Hi Christian
I like this one better. Trees, sun and fog give a great composition.
Bravo
Chris

Wandering_Dan (3449) 2008-12-29 14:10

Hi, Christian -

A beautiful and complex shot, extremely well done. Really great capture of the layers, and the mist in front. I might have put in a little less of the clouds above the mountains, as they are kind of boring.

Happy holidays,
Dan

Sistercosmo (242) 2008-12-29 16:37

Lieber Christian,
ein wirklich tolles Photo! Wow! Das Licht, die Bäume, der Nebel. Klasse! Einfach gigantisch!
Liebe Grüße für ein gesundes und fröhliches neues Jahr!!!
Linda

johannes68 (3469) 2008-12-30 1:20

Hallo Christian,
der Schatten der Bäume, der teilweise auf den Nebel fällt und teilweise auf den Boden, gefällt mir am besten. Kärnten scheint heuer wirklich ein Nebelloch zu sein...
Schöne Feiertage, und hoffentlich bis bald,
Johannes

mikeo (12129) 2008-12-30 1:47

Hello Chris,

Ciao Christian, raramente rimango senza parole davanti ad una foto, ma qui i superlativi ce ne servono a sacchi, delicatissima composizione con luce fantastica, ci hai fatto un gran bel regalo di fine anno, tanti auguri di uno splendido 2009, bravissimo, ciao Silvio

Cretense (68663) 2008-12-31 3:23

Hi Chris!

You could publish a whole photobook with you "above the clouds", magnificent photos! One more time a dreamy, unearthy result, a landscape from the land of myths! Congratulations!

Hi Karen!

Fantastic nature photography, wonderful exotic landscape, with so dense vegetation and the flowing water that I like so much. The lonely human presence in the background adds life and mystery! Congratulations!

Happy New Year and best wishes to you and your loved ones!

Hi Chris,

I see Gods were kind to you on xmas day... :)
They sent you magnificent light to play with. And you did. Perfectly.
It is pure delight to watch this photo and feel the scenery with all its long shadows and gentle haze strolling along the hill.
It is simply overwhelming.

All the best in 2009,
Jeri

smarcell (19875) 2009-01-02 5:29

ciao e buon anno !
Fantastica, come sempre, questa luce e questa nebbia
Ciao Stefano

lestans (16770) 2009-01-02 10:34

Non so proprio quale delle due sia più bella! Qui ci sono questi esili alberi che sono un ottimo primo piano davanti ad un bellissimo sfondo.
Bravo, bravissimo!

Livia

giorgimer (34508) 2009-01-02 14:53

Ciao Christian,

il tuo stile magistrale è davvero inconfondibile. C'è un'infinità di elementi da ammirare: la molteplicità di piani, il mare di nebbia, l'isola che spunta da questo in secondo piano, le silhouettes perfette degli alberi in primo piano...

Bravissimo! Vi auguriamo uno splendido nuovo anno!

Gio

Leonie (8809) 2009-01-05 4:54
