Hello Everyone at TN/TK/TL hope you all had a good Christmas and loads of fun into 2006.
May I wish you all the very best for 2006 and hope to see you around on TN.

About this picture, well I just had to go out and have a peek at the coastal line after all the snow we have had the last few days. I am at Galo outside of Stockholm and wanted to get a different view of the area by going down to the shoreline. Well this is the outcome.

Now what surprised me and personally I liked it, was when i done a auto colour correction and the horrible grey looking sky turned into this weird colour and look. The only other thing I had done to this image was to sharpen it and crop it down to size for TN. To me the image just looks a little bit unreal.

Hello Demetrio!
Very nice seascape.It looks like a painting picture.I liked POV,large DOF,framing and composition a lot.TFS...:-)

Hi Demetrio,
I see you have got some snow in Stockholm too.
Gålö is a very nice place.
Well composed, and nice colours but I think the picture slant a bit.
Well done.

Soon the real winter will arrive ;-))

En mycket bra bild du har tagit

Good "freezed" landscape. The sky looks a bit surreal (I think the postprocessing is involved) but gives an interesting athmosphere to the photo.
Have a great 2006.
Regards Petru

Hi Demetrio,
this looks so quiet and peaceful - no people - like in another world. The sky is very dramatic, a wonderful arrangement, thank you very much and have a happy New Year

An interesting picture, looks like a turn of the century lithogravure, almost hand painted...

Hi,
Well DONE
The POV and DOF are really good.
thanks ana:)

Demetrio, I like composition and pov a lot.

Great mood too.

Since I've never seen snow, these captures always seem nice to me.

Hi Demetrio, it's a very well composed landscape and the scene has a lot of atmosphere. If I'm honest I'm not too keen on what has happened to the sky, I think I'd prefer it natural. Very well done!

Greetings, Demetrio. I especially like the different textures in this photo: nude rocks, rocks dusted in snow, water, trees and sky. The dull colours and the grainy sky with its yellowish glow give it a surreal beauty.

The slant in the shoreline bothers me a bit. I did a workshop to see what the overall image would look like with a more horizontal shoreline, please take a look.

Hi Demetrio!

This landscape has something very special.
Let's start with my only negative point that can be easily corrected. I got the feeling the picture is not horizontal. Am I wrong?

Now the good point.

Composition is nice and pleasant to me. The almost monochrome colors is splendid. Most people won't like it but I love the grainy effect in the sky, it suggest a snowy day. Finally their is a highlight contouring effect over you trees that is nice.
This photograph looks almost as a painting and it is not a negative comment from me.

Great landscape picture Demetrio and TFS.

Hello Demetrio
A fantastic beautiful picture, nice soft colour and good composed.

I have a feeling that your horizon isn't straight. it feels like the water is higher on the right and to the left. I believe the picture would look beter if you rotate it. I'm not the font of the postprocessing because it doesn't look natural, but that's me.

Very interesting picture, Demetrio. It looks like so much like a old painting picture! I´m wondering how cold it was, because the photo shows amazing freeze situation. I like to see. About the sky.. it happens, specially to us amateurs. Maybe some noise reduction could help. I´ll try it.
Regards,
Zeca

Hello Demetrio
Wonderful waterscape here, colours are soft and muted. The horizon is a bit off so I did a workshop to adjust it. I hope you like it. TFS Janice
