Hello Eino,
Beautiful winter landscape. I like the frost on the vegetation and the golden rays of light. Nice colors & sharpness. Great atmosphere. Regards. Latiff.

Great picture. I particularly like how you can see the sunrays going across the frozen river thanks to shade of the bushes and trees. You've really chosen the perfect angle from which to take this picture. Contrast levels are good with even the darker areas being illuminated well enough to make out all the details.

* You said on my post: I have been in this part of Camargue and I remember the many, many flamingos I saw there. Unfortunately that was before my interest in photography. You can see a gathering in the workshop.

I just think your picture lacks a little sharpness.

Hei Eino,
What a fantastic light here! You have caught the great winter sunset atmosphere admirably and controlled the light and shadows excellently. In addition a nicely balanced composition and excellent clarity. One of my favourites of your photos.
Terveisin,
Lasse

what a great shot, Eino, the rays of light are simply divine, and I like a lot how you placed them as strong diagonal lines, it always strengthens the composition. superb light management, I imagine it was tricky with the sun almost directly in the camera, but you have enough details in the shadows without overexposing highlights. excellent work, my compliments.

regards,
Kristine

Hi there,
I love finnish countryside pictures...such a virgin beautiful nature! This is beautiful example..the play between light, water, grass, snow and other textures is wonderful! Congrats!

Hello Eino,
very curious effect of the wide angle lens: the shadows are not parallel but directed to one central point as if the land would be enlighted by a huge lamp instead of the sun. Well seen and skilfully done!

Hello Eino,

Sorry for my lately recognize of your fantastic photo. Wow! The curve of Koylio River helped a lot with its flat, snowy bed but shadows through frozen vegetations on snowy bed are just spectacular. You perfectly build an enviable point of view. Great clarity and sharpness in natural colors. Congratulations.

Best Regards,
