[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The area of the Sprengenberg (berg means mountain) is not only known for the Palthetoren, (Palthe Tower)the former hunting retreat of the textile baron. But also for its Scottish Highlanders and the last population of Black Grouse in the Netherlands. It is also has miles of walk ways that connect with our National Park ´De Sallandse Heuvelrug' and will lead you through dark forests and wide open headlands.

This is just one of those walk ways through one of the forests. The sandy bottom of the forest is proof of the sediment left after the ice retreated at the end of the second to last ice age.

I am still learning to use the Cokin filters I´ve bought. This time I used a grad ND8 filter.

Hola Niek.- Bella postal la que presentas aqui, un hermoso lugar para caminar y admirar los arboles de diferentes colores. Saludos Luis52.

Heello Niek,
And then autumn arrived in Holland...
Good point of view on the track, fine details in the carpet of leaves...
I like the composition with the big tree to break the symmetry!
Greetings,

Hallo Niek,

Een mooi stukje Nederland. De kleuren zijn schitterend, en ook heeft de foto een mooi lijnenspel. Waar eindigt het?:p

Groeten,

Arie:)

Dag Niek,
Een goede perspectief, de kleuren van de gevallen bladeren maken het geheel kleurijker en een interesant lijnenspel.
Als ik je mooie zonsondergangen met bomen zie, begin ik het jammer te vinden dat ik dat hier noit zal kunnen fotographeren! de zon gaan onder in de zee, en de bomen verliezen hun bladeren niet :)

Hi Niek, nice shot. I like the use of the vertical framing, I'm a big fan of that. Interesting viewpoint and nice use of the fallen leaves. For me the shadows on the left hand side are a little too dark. Also, it may have paid off to lower the tripod that way you could have got the plane of the CCD more parallel with the tree trunks and reduced the distortion...unless of course you were after that effect. Well done.

Hi Niek,
I really like the vertical composition and framing of this landscape shot. The path makes your eyes follow it straight thru the shot. Looks good.

I have been to Reelfoot Lake down in Tennessee. About 5 hour drive down near the Smokie Mountains. Your right, it's beautiful.

Hello Niek,
The autumnal ambience comes across strongly in this sombre picture with fallen leaves on the ground and barren trees lining the avenue on the far side.
I would love to walk on that path!
Thanks for sharing this lovely picture.

Niek,
Love the tall trees on the left specially the big one on the right; it breaks the monotony of the small hedge
giving this frame more life.
Educative notes too; very nice.
Those beautiful leaves on the ground... truely good stuff. You have taste my friend.
Best regards,
Mario.

Hoi Niek,

Wat een mooi stukje Nederland heb je hier vastgelegd zeg!
En wat een mooi perspectief, het pad lijkt oneindig door te lopen. De kleuren vind ik ook prachtig.
Goed gezien!
Hele fijne feestdagen :-)

Groetjes, Nel

Hi Niek

The vertical crop works wonderfully here and you have picked a great POV. Interesting to hear about your filters. Horia recommended that I invest in a set of ND-grad filters if I'm going to do some landscape photos. It looks like that is my next investment after Christmas.

Wonderful perspective and great colours. I wantb to see what is at the end of this path :)

Hi Niek,

Like this linear composition with this trail showing the way to infinity. The upper portion is a bit dark but I understand as I to am beginning to experiment with the Cokin filters.

PC :)

Deze vind ik bijzonder fraai Niek.
Ik ben pas de gelukkige bezitter van de Canon 10-22 en be hie4r zelf ook erg blij mee, zeer fraai genomen foto, prachtige diepte, mooie herfst sfeer, heel fraai werk. Ik wens U en Uw family een goed nieuw jaar toe en vooral gezond.

Hi Niek, lovely autumnal colors, very nice photo, splendid perspective, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Niek

Lovely light and colour tones here. Nice composition with the long reaching low POV. TFS

Hello Niek,
This is a live photo that may be listened indeed.
uncommen colors where both brown and green make it even better. Scene from foot front to horizon give life to photo.
Thanks
Ugur
