Hallo Markus
You surely have an expressive mind. I can also see four females with perfectly curved bodies lying next to one another in your image. I am also glad to see that you have decided to stay positive and post this image filled with tranquility and calmness and of course the artistic shapes of female postures found in nature. Thanks for seeing it through your lens and sharing it with us.
It is indeed a piece of artwork.
Warmest regards
Anna

Hello Markus,
A fine image that radiates calmness and mild but sensuous curves in the snow with wonderful variations of blue tones, though the light does not give an impression of coldness.
An image of peace and contentment for me, perhaps because I'm a man too!
Thanks and best wishes,
Ivan

Hi Markus.
You are Poet in photography and your art picture is so poetic and nice. It is jeweller work. Selection of subject and framing of the scene, level of exposure and colour reproduction, DOF and crisp sharpness of the entire scene are terrific. However, the key point of the picture is creative subject. Bravo and my warm greetings.
Alexei.

Hi Markus,

I'm so glad you have decided to continue posting. We all would have been losers had you stayed away. The rolling hills of snow with the marvelous lighting and shading are beautiful. Simple, artistic, and phenomenal.

Ciao Markus,
un'altra splendida immagine nel tuo stile personale con cui hai colto la meravigliosa sofficità della neve, mi piacciono molto anche le tonalità azzurrine dei colori in perfetta armonia con il tipo di paesaggio invernale "monocromatico".
TFS.

There is a sensuality in nature...because? It is natural:-) but you already knew that....Very neat in words and prose..or what one might take to be a quasi prose..I enjoy it very much and your ability to tell it like you feel is superior!

Hi Markus,

the other side of the nature photography, the artistic side.
Sometimes I'll do that also.
Nice picture with good details in the white colours.

Hi Markus

Another one of your beautiful and original abstracts :)
Very nicely seen here - i really like the "game" of shadows and textures - and the calm atmosphere is gives to all the people that look at it.
You really are an expert of these types of shots! I too hope that TN will get back on track and regain it's friendly feel...

Bravo and TFS

Hello Markus !
I'm happy to know that you will keep posting, as your pictures are always so unique, so special. On this one I like the softness of the feminine curves, the cold winter colors, the peace and serenity of this picture. I could not have imagined a better picture to express what you told in your notes about keeping calm. Very well done !
Valérie.

Markus,

I hope I can call you a friend even though we have not met in person. This is one of the best parts of the site. I to am glad you are continuing to post.

You have a great eye for what is beautiful and unique in nature. My favorite is your last post of the "Old man in the Ice", but this one is a master piece. The light, shadows and color is just right. We can all see what we want in your picture. I am a man as well and I will not say what I see.

Great to have found you - Bob

Hey, man, why are you diffident about the sensuality of the feminine form ? :)
I thank the Power that be that makes life so beautiful in many forms including the feminine grace and beauty.
Even before I read your note, this landscape of the snow evoked the same response in me. I love this image; it's sheer poetry.
Thanks for sharing this highly appealing creation.
Regards,
Ram

Hello Markus,
It is a delight to view this hymn of yours...an ode to the sensual beauty that you see in nature around you and share with us.

The dominant blue has a wonderful soothing effect to the viewer's eyes.The undulations captured from this PoV look like shapes of reclining women.A very thoughful and creative composition.

Pleasure Viewing This
Cheers
Silpa

Lieber Markus,
"a hymn to the plain sensuality in the shapes and patterns of nature, expressed with deep respect for the feminity" - wie könnte man ihn noch besser kommentieren, Deinen höchst ästhetischen, kreativ gesehenen, kunstvoll präsentierten Beitrag.
Erhebend und beruhigend in seiner schlichten, zurückhaltenden Schönheit - eine Wohltat.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter

Markus-

Beautiful! Who thought snow could be so sensuous? To paraphrase the famous axiom about beauty, sexist thoughts are in the mind of the beholder.

Please keep up the abstract work and comments, both so nourishing to all here.

Best regards,

Bob
