Hello Jacek,
Beautiful landscape with the marsh and the interesting houses. But it's the swan that makes this image so uniquely pretty. It's position in the frame couldn't be better. Great one! Regards,
Hakan

stego (22482) 2007-11-02 18:30

Hi Jacek,
Gorgeous bucolic view, masterly framed and exposed. The dark water gives it a lot of mood by the contrast it makes with the swan, the house and the sky.
Regards, José.

robsz (741) 2007-11-02 20:44

Czesc Jacek,

your photos are amazing, especially those of Poland. It's a beautiful country with a lot to offer. I love the colors and clarity of this one, and the exposure is perfect too. The swan adds a nice touch, but even without it the photo would be a success. I like the way the lighting focuses on the houses.

Cheers,
Rob.

PixelTerror (86861) 2007-11-03 3:28

Hi Jacek,
Nice village landscape image where the foreground swan shows the good exposure thanks to the whites and contributes to the depth.
Have a nice day,

cyrrhus (2878) 2007-11-05 13:43

Hello Jacek,
I am note sure if I have to say that you were lucky... but this swan is ideally placed to enhance the whole landscape.
The bright white is simply unbelievable (is it Dash or a post-processing effect ?)... but gives a perfect balance to the scene.
A "must" to illustrate your country!

barrufeto_77 (25943) 2007-11-07 13:54

Hi Jacek.

As you did the reference in the title...the swan is the key in the picture I think.

Without it, it could be a lovely (but maybe a little bit typical) picture.

Well done

Edyta_B (1195) 2007-11-09 13:38

Cze¶æ Jacku
Bardzo, bardzo ³adne zdjêcie, zupe³nie jak z obrazka ;). £abêd¼ wrêcz w modelowej pozie. £adne ¶wiat³o. Tam musi byæ naprawdê ³adnie, a jeszcze tam nie by³am.

Jacek, this is a beautiful setting, the shot is like a post card. I like the darker deeper colored original, it has more feeling I think, With that wide a lens you must have been right on the swan. Great capture
