The Thandi Sarak in Dhikala...

Here's another short, but poignant poem...


In The Forest by Oscar Wilde



ut of the mid-wood's twilight
Into the meadow's dawn,
Ivory limbed and brown-eyed,
Flashes my Faun!


He skips through the copses singing,
And his shadow dances along,
And I know not which I should follow,
Shadow or song!


O Hunter, snare me his shadow!
O Nightingale, catch me his strain!
Else moonstruck with music and madness
I track him in vain!

Hi Goldy,
interesting and beautiful effect you have created here, very nice contrast between light and shadow and well framed.

Hi Goldy!

One day you will have to explain how you create this special atmosphere in your misty pictures. Is it over-saturation? Hard contrast? Both of them?

When I look at this picture, I first don't know if I like it or not, if it's beautiful or not. It's intriguing, this is certain, and that makes it valuable and outstanding.

Kind regards

Markus

Hello Goldy,

Very nice enchanting picture. Wonderful light and colours.
Cheers,

Hi Goldy,
What a lovely forest scape capture. Superb composition and a nice exposure. Thanks a lot for sharing..

Dang! I didn't know Oscar Wilde was poetic in this fashion. the image fits the poem. Too bad he isn't here to see it..This is my kind of image...it has an etheral quality in which some see..as I did when I had cataracts on both eyes...now I have had surgery and both have had lens implants....but with bad sight, I still saw as though a curtain...a veil if you will...and this is truly somewhat of an art form...it ight.....well...nothing...but a fine image..

El poema escrito en la nota de Oscar Wilde es muy bello tambien.
Saludos Goldy.

Hello Goldy,

interssting sffect with migical colors, looks a landscape from an disney film.

Hallo Goldy
I have not been active lately and missed some lovely photographs from members. I'll have to go back on the gallery some time and observe all the ones I have overlooked. I must admit I like your landscape images more than the animal ones. You have captured this scene with great colours and the whole scenery gives the feeling of mysteriousness. The details are just excellent and there is such a lot to appreciate in this image. This is actually a PPPP – Pretty, perfect picture photo. I just love the autumn colours that shine through the darkness of the trees. It actually looks like a painting and I very much appreciated this one. The track between the trees is in my opinion great and adds a special touch to this lovely image. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna
Loot and I will not be around on the site for a few days as we are going to a game lodge for our 27th wedding anniversary early Friday morning.

Hi Goldy. This somthing a bit different. I have had to look at it a few times and i am still not to sure why. its as if i am waiting for someone to walk out of the woods and down the path. great detail and colours. Your picture would make a good cover for a book. well done TFS.

Hi Goldy,

Lovely poem and a lovely shot to sit along side it. I think Bob described this image perfectly, so nothing more to add other than these shots are very difficult to get right, and you nailed it. Well done.

Mike

Una foresta piena di luce e di colore, una composizione ed un'interpretazione artistica, bellissima atmosfera. Una poesia con poesia. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hi Goldy,

whoa what a contrast - the very dark fg and the misty, but light and charming path in the back, you saw it very well and captured very well too! Like going through wonderland! TFS!

Best regards,
Andor

great feel to this shot, love the atmosphere and lighting. Looks like there is some interesting and unique editing done to this. love how the foreground trees are silhouetted, but the background trees are in a nice golden glow

Hello Goldy,
I compliment for this outstanding image well captured and composed!
a great landscape with perfect lighting and shadows displayed!
you had managed the exposure to the right amount of light
well done, keep it up!

Hi Goldy, this is a stunning picture, it is beautiful. I too don't know how you do it but I love it, it is so mysterious and "poetic" like the poems you post with it. Those trees are so tall and beautiful, you really love trees, don't you? Thank you for the very nice sight,

Francine
