Hi Markus and a warm welcome back!

Nice to hear you had such a great time and such nice conditions in your trip to this beautiful place.
Nature has apparently really spoiled you with some superb elements here and i am very much looking forward to seeing more shots from this "Parc Naziunal Svizzer".

This is a gorgeous landscape and one with an excellent light in it! I love how the low light shines on the tip of some of the trees and that gives the photo such a special look.
The natural contrast of the place looks terrific and the bright river bank in the lower part acts well to bring a extra touch of light to that part.
Overall: you made me want to go there someday just by looking at this one picture...it's that convincing!

BRAVO and TFS

Hi Markus,
We're lucky you were here to capture this scene for us! Looks like you had a great time. The way you have composed this shot is superb..all the trees look perfectly placed and their colours are indeed amazing. That strip of snow and ice really helps add alot of depth here...great shot, well done.

Hi Markus,
Beautiful National Park apparently this Parc Naziunal Svizzer. Parc Naziunal Svizzer..Rumantsch eh.:-)
You used river very well to generate depth in your photo.
Good light and colors as well.

Hello Markus,

Autumn colours of trees in this low light really remind the flames of fire. Nice landscape shot, good composition and colours.

Hi Markus

Such a pretty location. The colours are spectacular. I really like the way the shadows surround the the brightly coloured larch. It creates nice depth in your landscape. The grey riverbed add more contrast to all the other colours. Well done.

Looks like "cookie season".....I say that because of your ethnic description which reminds me of my g grandmother who made the best cookies at Xmas..all of which she learned as a child in S Germany...in the Alsace area...well not in France but E of Alsace...a small village..I have had visitors from there...cousins...we prepared them a lamb dinner..it was Easter....and they ended up being vegetarians...so they had couscous....what an Easter that was..

Hi Markus,

What a wonderful week you must have had! Looking forward to more beautiful shots. The lighting is marvelous making these trees glow. The golden colors are beautiful. That strip of snow is a reminder of the winter ahead.

Lieber Markus,
Bist glücklich zurück, wie ich sehe und bringst uns ein von Licht durchflutetes Bild aus dem National Park. Das Bild allein würde schon viel Leute in diese Gegend anlocken. Schöne Komposition, mit den verschiedenen farblichen Ebenen. Und Schnee hattet ihr auch schon!
Ich wünsche noch schöne letzte Ferientage
herzliche Grüsse

Ciao Markus,
bellissimo paesaggio autunnale, splendida composizione con la luce laterale e radente che esalta i colori di questi larici che vanno mutando il loro aspetto, molto bella anche la prospettiva creata dal letto di ghiaia, ottima nitidezza, bellissimi e ben equilibrati i colori.
TFS.

Hi Markus.
Simply wonderful place and you have found a great point of view. Composition of the scene is the best. DOF, sharpness of the image are ultimate and autumn colours are wonderful. I like brilliant reproduction of perspective and space. Bravo and kind wishes.

WOW... I love the lighting here Markus... on fire indeed. Gorgeous the way the trees are lit in the foreground "and" in the background. So important to have great far-sighted men such as those founding fathers and those that govern the park today. Well done and simply beautiful... a little bit of "Heaven". ;) TFS.

Hi Markus,
a lovely landscape image.
The mix of warm orange leaves and snow(???) is brilliant.
Great sharpness.
Excellent composition.

Well done,

Hi Marcus,
Thanks for your kind observations on my recent mountain scape.
The colours of autumn on the trees in your picture are very natural and beautiful.
I also like the dry stream bed in the foreground.
The change of seasons shows itself strongly in a country like yours.
Thanks and best regards.

Hi Markus!

Nice to see you again! I was surprised to see a shot from you with this title as it came to my mind right away you already had a shot named like this, I checked back and it's confirmed :)
It'd be hard to tell witch one deserves the name better but for sure both do! The light through the trees captured here is fantastic, makes the whole thing look so real. It would be so nice to see your shots in large print, I hope once you'll come to Hungary and make an exhibition ;) (Maybe I've mentioned this before but then just take it as a reminder.)
If you ever have plans of such just let me know what I can help you with it.

Best regards,
Andor

Hello Markus,
Judging by this fine image you must have had a fine holiday!
One forgets how beautiful larches can be in the autumn when the needles turn gold. The POV uses the lighting at its best and the composition with the limestone stream-bed is exquisite.
TFS this beautiful view: look forward to more!
Kind regards,
Ivan

Hello Markus,
I love Larches at any time of the year, their soft needles, pretty cones, gentle green colour and here the beautiful autumn colour! A wonderful capture showing them glowing in the sun! A very fine and interesting composition with the strip of snow leading into the distance. I like your point of view and the colours are beautiful!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Hola Markus. Primero gracias por tu comentario y decirte también que mi Chenopodium a. es una planta vulgar, aunque como todo ser vivo tiene su encanto y yo intenté plasmarlo; tú, como buen observador que eres, te diste cuenta de ello !!!
--------------------------------------------------

Muy interesante tu explicación sobre el parque. Me da sana envidia la mentalidad en este sentido de algunos pueblos de Europa, como el Suizo. En España estamos aún a "años luz" de esa mentalidad y eso que nuestros ecosistemas creo que son muy frágiles, uniéndose a ello las últimas sequías. En España es increible los destrozos que se están haciendo con las nuevas infraestructuras, bien sean autopistas, trenes de alta velocidad, polígonos industriales, etc. Lo más grave de todos es que no tenemos conciencia ni nos preocupa lo que está pasando. Las personas comentan el último partido se fútbol del FC Barcelona o del R Madrid, pero son insensibles a la naturaleza.

Tu toma preciosa, con una luz impresionante y unos colores especiales.

Un abrazo: Josep Ignasi Tejedor.

Hello Markus,
Lighting is splendid here, with the top of the trees well lighted and glowing.
Angle of shot and shadow well designed to give its maximum impact.
Such a beauty derived from an ordinary surrounding.
Great piece of art too.

regards,
Foozi

Ah Markus, tu as capturé admirablement ces beaux arbres, car ce n'est pas chose facile de trouver un point de vue, la lumière et le momentum des mélèzes tout à la fois, c'est vraiment magnifique! De plus, je trouve que tu fais des photos splendides avec ta caméra Sony, les couleurs sont uniques, naturelles et lumineuses. C'est de toute beauté,

Francine

Bonjour Markus
Tu as réussi une très belle carte de pour les Voeux 2009.
Les nuances et la lumière me plaisent beaucoup.

Je ne suis pas toujours disponible pour venir sur Trek.
Parfois des visites 'éclair' pour mettre une photo.
Et je te remercie pour tes belles prises de vues;
Amicalement

Hi Markus,
The lights direction/time of day has produced a nice range of colortones..
It has also brought a great sense of depth to the image.
Effective composition, and I like the tree line leading left to right.
Well done & Thank You!
