Hallo Niek
I have not seen you for ages, and although I do not know you that well, I can asure you that you are missed on the site. This is real great image which you have chosen to return to Trek Nature. I see the dusty road as a sign that your new path on Trek Nature has begun and that you are going to enjoy every moment of it with your new camera. This is very peaceful and relaxing scenery to look at. The greenery in abundance in the scenery is really great and creates the feeling of summer. Looking at the green grass, gives the feeling that you want to kick off your shoes and run on the green grass like a youngster. Thanks for sharing this lovely landscape. Kind regards.

Hi Niek,
it's truly great to see you back here my friend, i have missed your postings and critiques alot! You return with a really stunning shot. Your planning with the sun map has obviously paid off here, the light is very well postioned and given you shadows that add to the overall composition. Well chosen POV, great composition and perfectly exposed.
tfs and hope to see some more soon!

Hi Niek and a very warm welcome back!!!

Nice new camera you have!
Great to see you are back to taking trips and photos and this one here is lovely, with a beautiful composition created by those leading lines.
The big old trees in the BG are also wonderful and they act well as focus points, while the low evening light creates a calm and relaxing mood for the entire scene.

Any luck with wild orchids? If you ever feel like exploring something new and interesting, i've just returned from a terrific place in the north-western part of Romania where there are some amazing and unique habitats for all sort of wildlife and flora, including wild orchids (i managed to get some shots myself).
By the way...i forgot to ask you in my reply on your critique: what are you doing this weekend? If you are free, wouldn't you like to come to Bournemouth as well? It would be a lot of fun! ;)

Cheers and TFS

hallo Niek,

mijn oog viel meteen op het woord kroezeboom.
bij Fleringen niet waar?
een prachtige foto. De compositie vind ik mooi.
de contouren van het fluitkrui vind ik terug in de contouren van de boom.

hartelijke groeten Gerdi

Hallo Niek,

Dit is een stukje nostalgie wat er bij mij boven komt drijven toen ik deze foto zag. Doet me denken aan de lagere schooltijd met de platen van Jetses (Ot en Sien) Je hebt met de lage zonstand en je filter een heel mooi sfeerbeeld gecreerd. Opvallend is hierbij ook de linkerzijde v.d. weg is weide en de rechterzijde een omgeploegde akker. er zit trouwens veel perspectief in de foto. Volg de lijnen van de weg, de sloot en dan zo naar de bomen. Lijkt wel 3D.

Ben blij dat je weer terug bent op het honk. Groeten Bob

Hello Niek,
The wild flowers by the roadside is an attractive view this time of year!
A fine composition with rich colours, the warm evening light adds attraction value...
------
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for support and advice during my time here!
It has been great and I have learned a lot through the many fine presentations in TrekNature!
Greetings,

Hi Niek

It kind of goes without saying that I'm glad to see you back...

hope you like the camera. It took me a little while to get the hang of the buttons being in a totally different location and the difference between the two on positions as well was interesting at first, though I have to say that I prefer the 40D, though it is not very light for mountaineering but....

Great light and camera placement... the trees in the BG are great, off centre, top third etc...

I'm not posting much at the moment because I am finalizing my prints for a large exhibition and then I am off up to Scotland for a week on Saturday... hoping for semi-decent weather to try out the new lens...

Hope the insurance comes through soon - I have to put the framing on my 16 prints on VISA as well, so understand very well...

June 20/21/22 are thoughts at the moment for Amsterdam, though the previous weekend is also a possibility...

TFS and Take care]

Very well composed - Very well done!
Glad to hear you're back in business :)

Hoi Niek,

Welkom terug en leuk je weer te zien hier :-)
En wat een mooie foto is dit, en met een nieuwe camera gemaakt lees ik in je note (gefeliciteerd daarmee). Je lage standpunt werkt heel goed, geeft veel diepte, mooie kleuren en gewoon een prettige landschapsfoto om naar te kijken.
Bedankt en veel foto-plezier met je nieuwe camera!

Groetjes, Nel

Hey Niek. Very dramatic low lighting, probably enhanced even more with your grad filter. Well done.
Mike
P.S. Cool on the new camera. But I thought you were a Nikon man?

Hi Niek

Nice to see you back again, I was about to send out a search party. What kept you away?

I think the light is lovely here, great warm tones and nice long shadows. Interesting note to go with the photo. Beautifully composed as well with the interesting details in the FG and the path leading us to the subject at the back.

Nice to have you back

TFS

Beautiful shot. The flowers in the front,and the road leading to the hut at the back, with soft golden light of the setting sun falling on it look wonderful! Great artistic composition.
