Hallo Jeri!
Even though it isn't your "common style" of photos, it's a wonderful one - a winter fairy tale indeed. A really worth showing scenery. A photo to marvel ...
Greetings from grey and humid Westphalia!

Hello Jeri,
There are many photos of lakes and reflections on TE, but not all so beautiful, rather few like this.
Beautiful, crisp, brillant, a great photo.
The village will certainly be wonderful.
A good work my friend.
Best regards
Giorgio

Hi Jeri,
I've been to beautiful Bled twice before (10 and 11 years ago :D, I didn't take photos at that time), but I can clearly remember how enchanting this lake is with the small island in the middle.
Your photo is fantastic, the most i like is the desaturated colours, but the contrast is also great! I can just complain about the tooo wide frame that takes space from this wonderful photo! ((:
Congratulations and TFS!
Cheers,
Marci

Hi Jeri,

Postcard cliché? It probably is, but sometimes I'm a sucker for them too. Looks like it' done with mirrors, great work...and now I'll have to go and see your 'usual' pictures!

Bonjour Jorgi,
I know this place so charming but also Bohinjska Bistrica where I spent a very good stay near the lake approximately 12 years ago! We had a room in an old lady 's home who spoke only Slovenian and who absolutely wanted to give us slivovica for the breakfast! In summer it is a very beautiful landscape, but there it is a delight with this first snow which still hesitates to cover the landscape.
This composition only made of white, blue and gray is full with poetry and delicacy. It carries well your borrows!
Amicalement
Diane

Hi Jeri,
A gorgeous view across the lake towards the island with the church. Great composition, a really beautiful sunlight and wonderful reflections. Thanks a lot for sharing this lovely view!

Lars

Hi Jeri,
I like this shot and I also enjoyed your note. The details, the depth, the subdued dusty blue color tones all work together to create a very pleasant image. Good work and TFS. Gerald

Hi Jery,

Amazing landscape shot! All is there composing a perfect picture. This place under the snow looks like dreamland.

Yes, but this is a wonderful one!
Excellent exposure with a great DoF!
Clear and sharp! Fantastic place, indeed!

Thanks for letting us enjoy the view!
Best regards,
Athanasios.

avene (10940) 2008-12-09 6:03

hi Jeri,
judging from this photo the story about the creation of Slovenia might very well be true, the view is breathtakingly beautiful. picture perfect, I would even say :) I particularly like how the light snow brings out all the details on the mountains, if you look close enough, you can see every single tree. and those who decided to build the church RIGHT THERE must have had painters or photographers in mind :) technically impeccable work, my compliments.

regards,
Kristine

Miha2ou7 (4901) 2008-12-09 7:04

Hello Jeri,

I just wanted to say that`s an zanimiva fotografija, ja ja kičasta in to, nič vratolomnega tukaj, ampak vseeno super, dobiš minus ena za motiv, ampak je še kar devet, tko nekak. Dober kot in popolne zmrzljive barve ter reflekcije. Drugače pa komaj čakam da boš posnela kakšno fotografijo Trojan in omenila Trojanske krofe. :> Ne resno, super fotografija, and I`m certain others would agree with me, right? :>

Se beremo.

npecanhuk (13623) 2008-12-09 7:26

Hello Jeri!
This landscape is fantastic and your picture is excellent to show it to all of us!
Sharpness, brightness and pov are all very good! I also think that the reflection was very well seen and taken!
I really like it!
TFS - Congratulations1
My warmest regards,
Neyvan

Kielia (8387) 2008-12-09 9:28

Hi Jeri,
this is – from my point of view – one of your most fascinating compositions on TE with an amazingly celestial atmosphere and a great perspective of the lake. Light and colors are very beautiful. I also like your title. Congratulation! TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet

Vasa (5368) 2008-12-09 11:34

Draga Jerice,

ovakvu sliku iz Slovenije čekam danima. Sa Bohinja, Bleda ili bilo odkuda. Da mogu i ja da kažem svetu: eto to je i moja Slovenija!!

Ponosan sam na tvoj potpis i širim bajku o tvojim fotografijama, draga prijateljice,

Branko

elendim (1677) 2008-12-09 14:33

This photo is amazing Jeri!
Great reflections,colors and landscape!

Leilani (1371) 2008-12-09 16:20

beautiful clarity here Jeri! and yes, very serene. It's like a wonderful fairy tale. Slovenia is definitely on my list of places to visit, because of beautiful images like this. (and from what I hear very friendly people too!)

Nicou (44491) 2008-12-10 1:37

Hello,

Quelle vue, merveilleu, la colline avec l'église, les reflets sur le plan dêau, ces belle montagne eniegées, superbe.

Bravo et amitié

Nicou

kschanna (2634) 2008-12-10 2:24

Hi Jerica

I like how you didnt over saturate the scene with deep rich greens and a sky so blue that one can mistake it for a cartoon scene...dont get me wrong, sometimes we like the oversaturated colors...for it does to our eyes what saccerine laden soft drinks do to our taste buds...a jolt of joy and stupor and then a lasting bitter aftertaste...like most experiences in life

....but you havent done that to this image...its a normal image, on the scale of 'hit the senses'...it pierces the senses slowly and gently...one of those images which appears when you close the eyes...when you want to feel normal

thanks for sharing

Kamran

Hi Jeri,
Truly amazing landscape.Very well composed and captured photo. Great color, details and light.Very well done,

Bartleby (4810) 2008-12-10 13:56

Hi Jeri,
very postcard like but I don not care either, this is beautiful. The blue tones the refelction...top-notch. And to build on Didier's remark, the bame of this place do sounds strange to my French ears. 'Bled' is the -slang- french word for small village. So it's kinda of funny to know a place called 'Bled'..."Bled! tu connais pas ce bled?" ...enough with the crappy jokes anyhow....Well done!

Take care,

Philippe

Wandering_Dan (3211) 2008-12-10 19:08

Hi, Jeri -

A beautiful composition which manages to encompass both the wide landscape and the detail of the church. I might have wished for just a spot of red or green; the colors are nice, but all in the same range.

Regards,
Dan

fkostas (426) 2008-12-11 10:01

Hello Jeri,

I've been going back and forth on this for several days. I've never awarded a "yellow monkie" before, and I feel guilty for doing it to you. Why?

Of course it's a technically good photo. I understand you wanting to post a postcard of your country.

The problem is not your fault-but you are blessed, and maybe cursed with the burden of brilliance. I'm sorry to be so selfish as to expect more than a mere "fotka" from you. But really, compare it to your other efforts, and it's just an image. There is no feeling here, just a pretty (though good) picture.

I suppose I would be mad if I had this critique if I were you, but the truth is I don't have anywhere near your talent and expression, but it makes me a bit mad to know I'm a hack who can't get above "fotkas", and you have all the skill, and it also pains me that you can get by with said "fotka".

Having said that very selfish critique, life is not just misery, then you die. It's misery, fun, misery, fun, misery, misery, misery, fun, THEN you die.

Farah :)

AKITA (5238) 2008-12-11 23:21

dear Jeri,

beautiful place itself is not beautiful, the place is merely the place.
the breath (or bless) of the god make it beautiful? no I don't think so.
the only element that makes one place beautiful is, in my feeling,
the despair, the despair to beautifulness, and the tears of its result.
the beautifulness may be like this island floating on dark bluish water in your shot.
this water reflects the view from light blue sky to dark blue ripples, why?
the answer is, the water hides the deep despair in it,
and of course the water is made of tears of despair.
human being is originally presence of despair, and all life is situated by it.
therefor wisdom without despair is nonsense.
and then, in a floating tiny top of island above the dark desperate water,
we can have a chance to feel the beautifulness made from the despair...
I thought this when I felt your dark blue tone of this shot,

thank you,
Akihisa

Manamo (3472) 2008-12-12 7:22

I like decisive moments and people/street photography, but I landscapes as well, tremendously.
This one is beautiful. the colors are soft and the reflection smooth. Slovenia looks beautiful on your picture.
I read a discussion you had with another member on this photo. I have a couple of comments to tell about this if you don't mind. I don't think photographs all have to be decisive moments, or good close-up portraits. It's not a question of talent or expression, it's a question of taste. You felt like posting this picture, because you liked it, it meant something to you and thought it might touch someone, perfect. No one should judge you for posting this "style" of photo. And I prefer someone who can play with many different styles with talent and taste.
And I get from this discussion that you think before posting a picture. You don't post just any picture. You choose them carefully, study them make sure the picture means something to you. That's my way of doing it as well. You sort of grow up on what you like and what you don't like when doing this and this "growing up" is reflected on your photography when you go back out to shoot.
I'm not lecturing you...I was just thinking out loud. And I thought you were told words that had no sense...I felt like giving my 2 cents on this.
Back to your picture. Technically, it could be in a textbook. Everything is smooth and our eyes just flow through the frame. rule of third, balance of colors, exposure, etc. But it's not just that. Today, you've given me the taste to go to your country and explore it. I've learnt that in Slovenia, there are nice mountains, beautiful lakes with islands with nice churches and very intelligenta and humble people.

all the best,

Marc

johannes68 (2858) 2008-12-13 3:57

Hi Jeri,
a glittering, sparkling, smooth, heavenly photo, God really has a good taste, and the Slovenian a great strategy! I´ve seen many photos of Bled, but I´ve never been there - what a shame, have to change that!
Have a nice weekend,
Johannes

aral (1195) 2008-12-13 16:13

Jeri,

si pa začela po desni prehtevat, tolk si produktivna.

Res je, tole ni tvoj žanr. Kot pišeš je tudi klišejska, ampak so what. zgleda, da na bledu vsi slikamo, če smo le tam.

Všeč so mi obledele barve (v slovenščini še jezikoslovno pašejo), nice touch. Se mi zdi da otok kot center pozornosti zavzema nekoliko premalo prostora.

burGu (4536) 2008-12-14 4:10

Vaow!!! How does it feel to post something not your style but still amazing and so professional?
Yes it is postcardish, but it still has your touch, your poetic approach in it.
Amazing shot Jeri, all my compliments,
Burcu

lilythay (98) 2008-12-15 4:19

I believe the most advantage point to be a member of TE is to have good chance to enjoy beautiful places, wonderful pictures. The sharpness, the color, the composition and the cold tone. Winter can be also so nice!!!

Thanks for sharing!

Lily

Olá Jeri,

A wonderful picture from the Stockholm, good colours and composition. The reflections in the water are adding a special atmosphere to your picture.

Filipe

Hello Jeri,
very well captured and nicely framed picture of a great perspective and beautiful reflection. The morning light is very nice and the vivid colours are wonderful. I like also the calm and serene atmosphere here. Surely a place to visit.
All the best.

Nicely done. The snow is nice in this famous place. Well exposed shot! Bet it looks stunning in full size!

This is a wonderful place and a wonderful landscape. The snow, your composition and the reflections enhances the beauty of this place.
