I've said it once and I'll say it again..you shoulda'/woulda' been a graphical artist. The fellow who designed my bobshannon.org logo...the one with many fading colours...He is a graphical artist who also happens to live in the wilderness and is an old hippie who makes like...well he charged me only 50 bucks for my logo..but normally he charges 250 for a small one like that..and he has done major big carved wood sign paintings...thousands..the guy is as rich as you should be with your graphic artist eye...I can already see you driving your fancy sports car with top down and scarf blowing in the wind as you drive along the roads near the ocean with a fine companion and bottle of wine...ah well sometimes photos create dreams....at least this one did for me....

Your "dark image" is a "bright" moment in my day. I love dark skies with sunlit foregrounds. It is a nice, almost abstract image. I hope what ever is keeping you from TN won't take too long. Don't forget us!

I like the way you framed this, to enhance the panoramic effect. The brilliant fields give the mood it needs. I like the rolling hills,and the distance in which you have your POV.

Hi Markus

Great, atmosperic shot of fleeting sunlight and approaching storm - a great summation of this year's weather. Well seen and captured.

Bonita toma Markus, y como suele ser habitual en tus trabajos, con un punto de melancolía y abierta a la interpretación. Tus tomas tienen todas un punto de misterio, al menos para mí.

Hi Markus,
I think the framing is a bit over powering and dominates the images too much for my tatse, but the actual image itself is a wonderful example of contrast. I also think you chose your POV well too.
I'm also going to take a break for a while...see you back here at some point no doubt, my friend.

Hi Markus!

It been a while, and maybe will again be till we meet on TN but it's good to see your work even if for a blink again!

Life always brings bright and dark indeed, but while we see wonders like this I think it does feel more bright.

I hope you're doing fine my friend,
my best wishes

Lieber Markus,
Zurück aus dem Wallis, finde ich diese schöne Aufnahme aus dem Freiburgerland. Ich kann sie jetzt auch in bester Qualität sehen,da ich ein neues Laptop habe!!
Was ich dabei auch noch festellen kann, ist dass deine Bilder zu den besten auf TN zählen. Ich habe jetzt auch die grossen Mängel meiner letzten Bilder gesehen, die auf meinem alten Bildschirm nicht sichtbar waren.
Du hast wohl Deine Operation hinter Dir und ich möchte Dir eine schnelle Genesung und einen sehr raschen Wiedereinsitieg auf TN wünschen.
Liäbi Grüess

Hi Markus,
Truly a very good lighting. The stormy sky and the sun on the field give character to the picture. Good panorama mounting.
I really like your panorama.

Hello Markus,

This is a splendid scene and your thick border works very well sandwiching the sky, mountains and fields between its strong lines.

There is a very big contrast between the dark and the bright areas: the bright in the f/g and the dark way beyond.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Ciao Markus,
splendido paesaggio, eccellente taglio compositivo, magnifico contrasto fra il primo piano e lo sfondo, mi ricorda uno dei tanti paesaggi italiani, come ad esempio quelli toscani, mi piace molto anche che attraverso questa immagine voglia trasmettere un modo di sentire e di vedere. Complimenti per le bellezze che si vedono dalla tua casa. Grazie.

Lieber Markus,
stimmungsvolles, weites, sorgfältig gewähltes Panorama einer sanft rollenden Hügellandschaft der Westschweiz.
Das Bedrohliche der Gewitterwolken über den reifen Kornfeldern wird durch den breiten schwarzen Rahmen noch potenziert.
Mit Dank und meinen besten Wünschen für Glück und Gesundheit, und dass Deine Operation an der Hand gut verläuft.
Herzliche Grüße,
Peter

Hi, Markus,

re: Narcissus under the rain
many thanks for your pointers and encouragement!! i agree with you - a larger depth of field should have been used.

btw, I like this homeland photo very much - very calm, peaceful and warm. My good friends and I love Europe, esp. Switzerland and the Netherlands a lot. and sometimes, we love to call them our "homeland", too - to show our fondness for the beautiful and cultured countries there : )

thanks for sharing. and I look forward to see more photos from your beautiful homeland!!

chrs,
Man Yee

Hi Markus

Simple and beautiful, my friend - just perfect and enough to show the beautiful of your homeland.
The natural contrast here is stunning and the colors are surreal!
I love the curvy look of the hill near us here and the similar curve of the mountains in the back.
The clouds really add to the feel and atmosphere of the shot and complete this gorgeous composition.

Bravo and TFS

Hi Markus,
I always like these types of weather conditions where there has just been rain or it soon will arrive. The way the sun then illuminates parts of the landscape against a dark sky gives a photo just tons of more impact. In this photo it is especially visable. The golden pasture has become so rich in color it normally would not be like that.
I like the panorama format as it shows only the essentials and leave no room to wonder away from the subject. Lovely work on all ellements of the photo.
TFS,
Niek
