[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Today an oldpicture from my archives - I took this in december 2006, from the top of a high tower called Wintersberg. The tower itself is located on the top of a hill. From up there I can see all the villages around - but I have the impression I can see the whole world... :-)

As you can see there are many hills in the region where I live, and all these hills are covered with forests - wonderful, huge forests who are full of fungi each autumn. Real paradise also for deers, boars, wild rabbits and birds. It is a great place for any nature photographers like me, and sometimes I wish I could spend all my days there, alone in the wild nature.

I hope you'll enjoy looking at this picture as much as I enjoyed taking it ! :-)

Bonsoir Valery,
This seems to be a study of depth.
It's so good the way every plane made by the mountains goes vanishing and becoming more desaturated in colour with distance.
A beautiful composition made on this almost duotone image.
Felicitacions et merci du partage.
Mes amities,
JM

Hi Valerie!

This is the kind of landscape picture I like very much! It's smooth, pastel-like and so romantic. The colors are delightful,the gradation from dark to bright tones is superb.

The picture generates emotions, and therefore is very valuable.

Kind regards

Markus

Hi Valerie,
Fantastic shot of the mountain folds and I like the layers formed. Great colours. It is so pleasant to the eyes. Great DOF and chosen POV. Very nicely composed. Kudos.

Hello Valerie,
It is wonderful to see how you create a sense of depth by using the layers, seven all together I think, impressive!
A simple but beautiful composition!

Valerie,
Love this photo, it seem to create a statement about life itself. It starts out so bold and strong and as time goes on it gradually fades off into eternity.........
