[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another shot of that same beautiful morning as my last post. Here you can see a close-up of the two peaks you saw in the previous, wider shot.
I think they are called the Buteasa Peaks (1792m) and they sure looked great in that morning light.
...I just hope i was able to reproduce the mood and the beauty of the place well enough here for you...

Hope you'll like it and thanks for visiting.
Have a nice weekend everybody!

Hi Horia!

It's the kind of mood and beauty you need not to worry whether one would like it or not. It's the kind of ambience we are immediately touched and our romantic feelings are wakened. Beauty can't leave us indifferent, and you have brought a delightful atmosphere to us... I would like to be there!

Kind regards Markus

HI,

I can feel the cold stillness and silence of the morning. I am so glad that "Rosey Fingered Dawn" got up for you that morning. There's nothing like setting up for a sunrise or sunset and NOTHING happens!
I'm so glad that you have this lovely photographic memory.

These subtle sunrise shots can sometimes be eye candy...IOW there is no way you can truly recreate what you see and feel..I know..I have seen many of these in the wilderness...and I don't even stop to take images....oh yeah..I have a few here..and in some ways resemble yours..but the beauty of aa good sunrise is hard to catch don't you think? Your did splendid..

Hi Horia,
It looks like it is very quiet on TL for the last couple of days. The number of views are extreemly low.
This is another wonderful photo from your night trip up the mountains. The framing of the two peaks by the trees is great and channels the focus perfectly. Again the details in the trees is excellent and shows the spot on exposure. The colors in the sky are very beautiful and give this photo a warm feel. Although its easy to see that it must have been a cold moment.

Did you make any photos in a later stage? I would love to see how the light is changing this mountain range.

TFS,
Niek

P.S. I'll e-mail you shortly about the offer.

Hello Horia

A lovely composition - the silhouette plus pastel colours are a fine combination.

Hello Horia,
The sunset is of course beautiful, but the landscape is very beautiful too, especially in this composition. Maybe there would be a dominance of cultivated spruces, but even so your are luck to live in this area.
Thanks for this wintery glimpse of it!
All the best,
Ivan

Hi, dear Horia.
I like your refined landscape picture so much. It is executed with great taste and delicateness. It is clear that charming colouration and cloudiness of the sky are fine. I also like image of the mountains and their vegetation. Despite the dark key of execution you managed to exposure dark part of the landscape precisely. It is detailed perfectly and we can see almost all pictured objects. Bravo. Great, skill work. My best regards and TFS.
Alexei.
