my private Colorado Photo

Photographer’s Note

Pieniny. Not large but extremely picturesque region in the southern Poland. Especially in late autumn. These old and relatively low limestone mountains have weathered in many wonderful ways, offering rare diversity of landscapes.

Here, a vista from below Wysoki Wierch towards the heart of Pieniny mountains with Three Crowns, Sokolica, Czertez and others (shaded, on the left).
On the right, the distinctive peak is Rabsztyn (847m asl), situated precisely on the borderline with Slovakia.

Great light and beautiful colors. But the landscape is so pretty, I would love to see more of it. It is almost as if the sky is competing with the landscape.

Wow! What an amazing view, you photographed it so well! Love the way the clouds flow by in the deep blue sky. Beautiful!

I like the way you let us see more of the sky than the foreground, and it's an interesting perspective because most landscape photos show more land and less sky. I appreciate seeing this view.

Hello Mateusz,
this is a wonderful view over the valley; there are 2 things which I really like: the pov and the sky. Combining the 2 allowed you to deliver a beautiful picture with an incredible sense of space and vastity. The fluffy white clouds running the sky are beautiful to look at and the polarizer worked very well here. Quality is excellent throughout with great sharpness, details and wel lcontrasted and saturated colours.
Thanks for sharing this and regards

Igor

Indeed a lovely view. The clouds make it even more amazing creating a big depth. Very good job.

Hallo Mateusz!
A great photo - in each respect! You show us a wonderful landscape here and I like that you do it with natural colours and with a not to surpass sky. What a view! Do you really think that Colorado is as beautiful as Pieniny!? I'm in doubt ... ;-)
I would like to step into this picture!
Greetings from Germany!

Hi Mateusz,
Impressive sky in movement with the use of the 10mm wide angle. The greens tones are also very beautiful to give contrast.

Yves

Ahoj Mateusz,

oh yes our two countries are simply so beautiful ;-) perfect POV, and you were lucky to capture such a great sky, a bonus here, in addition to the beautiful nature landscape...

Take care, Ivana

Hi Mat - yes, you are rigth with the title, it certainly has that US SW feeling. In addition to the pretty light that paints the land on bottom, the sky is really fantastic, esp. the nice big cloud so well exposed and illuminated. Regards, Daniel
