Hi Markus. I look for snow type pictures from you but now spring is with you too. You always seem to see a shot from next to nothing . fine detail in the old log and dry bracken . but with the yellow in the back ground. well done TFs.

Hello Markus!
Great abstract image of this "life and death" scene.
I agree with you completely... not so with animals but dead plants are usually just as stunning as when they were living! Something that fascinates me the most is a dried-out leaf with just the net of veins left.
Great light, colours and exposure.
Excellent sharpness.
Well done Markus!

I think we see the same things Markus...seriously...many of your images are of patterns. and this one is a larger view of the world through those same eyes...It would look somewhat fall if it were not for the yellow..and of course the date..very nice...a still shot..what is it they call it in paintings? Something like that...Yet still very nice!

Hi MArkus

A lovely shot - the juxtaposition of the different textures and colour works very well.

Lieber Markus,
Andere Farben, aber Deine Signatur ist immer erkennbar. Schöne Komposition und weiches Licht. Für mich ist der Mont Ste Victoire natürlich auch von der Kunstgeschichte her ein Begriff, war aber noch nie dort. Wir sehen uns bald :-)
Einen schönen Tag noch

Touch and it turns to gold, Markus, shoot, and it will be beautiful...That's something very few people can do, which you have as a default.
An amazing shot with beautiful warm colours..
Cheers!

Hi Markus!

Wonderful shine on the living side and in contrast paleness on the dead side. Details are amazing in both. It has a special mood I've seen neither from you or anyone else yet.

Sorry for being so short, for a few weeks it will remain because of work. TFS!

Best regards,
Andor

Hi Markus.
I like your nice picture with great content and exact title. Composition of the image is the best as well as the combination of main objects and far BG. Crisp sharpness, lights and natural colours are amazing Bravo. Well done and TFS.

Your image offers some food for thought, Markus.
Yes, the cycle of life goes on. If something dies, it is re-born too, isn't it?
The dead tree is very well captured in this shot. It is so degenerated it looks almost hollow. The new green trees beyond it are its re-incarnation.
TFS and best regards.

Hi Markus,
excellent concept of showing natural death and life together, technically the POV and colors are good.

Hello Markus, another graceful, not so abstract as usual, but beautiful and complete. La lumière est très belle et glisse dans les multiples épines de cette plante. Jaime beaucoup les textures de cette photo et la lumière. C'est aussi très bien composé et ce visage esthétique de la mort est intéressant. Oui, probablement que la mort peut aussi être belle... J'aime ces photos où on voit l'usure du temps et de la vie. Merci!

Hello Markus

The contrast between the golden flowers and the dead foliage creates a striking contrast.
Nicely composed to good effect.
Well focused with sharp detail.
The POV and DOF are very good.
