bonjour markus
les cristaux de glaces ne sont pas frequent sur TN et ce que j'aime sur cette photo ce sont les couleurs que cette glace laisse transparaitre.
une tres bonne idée.

Hello Markus,
During a lot of years we were travelling every summer to Switzerland. We have enjoyed the beauty of your country during the numberless walks through the mountains. Wallis and Berner Oberland were our favourite regions. And indeed we enjoyed the details in the landscape.
And that's what I admire in your brilliant photos, such as this one. What a fantastic colours and composition! Thanks.
Regards,
Peter

Hello Markus,
Ötzi has nothing on you! You are the master Iceman!
The shape, colours and composition of these ice crystals are a joy to view, a wonderful way of depicting the transition from autumn to winter.
Great to see and thank you!
Kind regards,
Ivan

Lieber Markus,

Du musst für Deine Meisterwerke nicht mehr weit suchen, Du bleibst gleich in Tentlingen. Wie immer bei Dir: schön gemacht, sehenswert, beneidenswert. Aufgepasst: es ist an dem Ort, wo Du die Aufnahme gemacht hast, nicht einmal ausgeschlossen, dass Du auf eine Gämse triffst (nur im Winter allerdings).

Herzlich grüsst

Dieter

Hi Markus,

What a beautiful abstract painting this is. You call cold the artist - in my opinion it is you who is the artist. You have the wonderful ability to see the beauty in what most of us would overlook. Colors, details, and textures are just magnificent. Thank you for allowing me to see through your eyes.

Gee... all those straight lines and angles make this a dynamic abstract composition. The colors and textures are super also. Good observation and nicely captured...

I wonder if a frame other than stark black and white might work also. It is the the high contrast between the black and the white that draws me away from your photo. It's probably just my eyes and personal opinion. It is the same thing I was trying to convey in my last critique. I tried a workshop to show what I mean. I basically eliminated the white.

The crystalline look is very enchanting...I am fond of some leaded crystal which ice can mimic at times...mostly in cobalt-alike blue and such but this one is very different! Love it!

This is wonderful, Markus... Such an original piece. : )
Intriguing composition with the striated ice sheaths.
The lighting is perfect, exposing the translucence of the ice AND the rich colors of the vegetation.
A real work of art.

Very nice arrangement of ice and vegetation, Markus.
Seen with an artist's eye and composed with outstanding technical skill.
I like the colours of winter here and agree with you that winter is not altogether dull.
TFS and regards.

Hello Markus,

This is a very interesting shot of the leaves covered in thick frost/ice. It actually gave me the chills ;-). This is a very good abstract picture Markus. The details are splindid along with the patterns and cracks and lines on the frost. Excellent lighting, sharpness and focusing. This is a well composed shot with a nice POV. Well Done. TFS.

Hallo Markus,
Zu diesem Bild möchte ich Dir speziell gratulieren! Eindrücklich diese Farben und Formen und dazu ist es Natur pur, es brauchte aber das menschliche Auge um den passenden Ausschnitt auszuwählen. Ich hätte dich gerne gesehen, als Du dieses Motiv sahst!
Nochmlas bravo und einen fröhlichen Tag

Wow Markus, these just get better and better! This shot shows how at home you are in the ice and snow...amazing display of natures building and design. The leaf in the top right really helps keep it in context...and the details are excellent. Great work as ever my friend.

Hi Markus

Another very interesting photo from you and another abstract view of the nature that allows us to explore our imagination and to just relax looking at a photo for minutes!
I love the perfectly straight lines here - they are geometrically impeccable and i love seeing that in nature.
I also like that you have a leaf in the corner of the frame - which in turn also have its straight lines to show off.
All these textures and small details make us look closely when we pass through a park or in a forest near some elements we would normally exclude.
Great job and thanks for this!

Bravo and TFS

Hello Markus,
Wonderful image, I like it a lot.
I think the stones, moss & algae have brought in some interesting color & depth, transforming the shot..It's magic! :)
Very well done,

Hola Markus, como en ocasiones anteriores nos mustras los caprichos del hielo, aunque esta vez con la variente de los colores vegetales del fondo. Sea como fuere creo que es un bello y armónico conjunto. Técnicamente se ve bien enfocado, encuadrado y con buena luz. Un bonito trabajo y veo interesante el seguir tus experiencias en la naturaleza en esta época del año.
Saludos y buen fin de semana: Josep Ignasi.

Hi Markus.
Once more unusual and very attractive subject from your. "Winter" colours are represented by the nice and creative way. Impressive combination of cold ice and sharp ice shapes with alive colour palette of the leaf carpet. Thanks for charming art shot taken with high skill. My kind wishes and TFS.

Hallo Markus,
zauberhafte Komposition von weichen organischen Formen und harten Kristallen. Wunderbare Pallette aus warmem Ocker, sanftem Grün und eisigem Grau. Dokument einer außergewöhnliche Begabung, das Außerordentliche im Alltäglichen zu sehen und festzuhalten.
Mit Dank und herzlichen Grüßen,
Peter
