Bonjour Bratislav
Un joli paysage de neige avec une luminosité particulière qui donne des teintes mauves qui sont agréables à regarder.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hello Braca, You photo work here is excellent to show that pessimistic mood that winter sometimes brings & you were feeling, the sepia toning works well in this scene. It looks & feels cold and miserable.

Santo

Hallo Bratislav,

hoffe es Euch gut, auch hier in DE/GER soll heute der erste Schnee bis in die Tiefe fallen, wird aber wohl nur in Bayern so sein..
schöne Aufnahme und die Umwandlung in Sepia gefällt mir auch sehr gut..

viele Grüße Bernd

Hello Bratislav,
I like the composition of your shot, and although in the sepia it does look a bit subdued, there is beauty in your shot. Have a nice day, hopefully cheerful! Dasha

Hallo Bratislav!
Ja, trostloser und grauer kann man den Winter kaum zeigen - und bald wird es vielerorts wieder so aussehen. Interessant, wie der Dunst hier zum Hintergrund hin immer mehr verschluckt ...
Aber Krokusse und Tulpen sind schon gepflanzt!!! ;-)
Grüße aus dem grauen, kalten und nassen Westfalen! Brrr!

Hello Bratislav,

A very simple but very efficience and very nice composition. Good balance with the tree well located in the image and greta depht. The very good PP work give a particulary athmospeher to the image.
Have a nice day,
Roger

Hi Bratislav,
Beautiful picture. Autumn/winter atmosphere. Nice
composition and the choice to go for sepia was - in my opinion - a good choice. Regards, Marcel

jlbrthnn (38563) 2009-11-04 6:13

Hello Bratislav,
I think that you have make a good choice with the color sepia, but there is no what to be let go to pessimism with the arrival of the early winter. framing is excellent, like the realization. Cheer.
Have a nice day
Cordially

Hello bratislav. A really beautiful and worth seeing photo of the season. I like the tone very well. Also, the fine Nunancen between black and white are excellent. You have skillfully photographed ans realized this wintry landscape. Regards, Wolfgang.

swiatopelk777 (8946) 2009-11-04 6:27

Hi Braca!
Amazing winter landscape. Wonderful tree. Good sepia. Very fine frame.
Greetings from Warszawa!

adramad (3800) 2009-11-04 7:26

Hello Bratislav.
I like the composition of your photo and the presentation in sepia adds a note of loneliness and melancholy to the landscape. I like this tree in back light, good POV.
Regards.
Luis.

Hi Braca!
Excellent moment Melancholy atmosphere and excellent composition with B&W image

bonjour Bratislav
comme toi je fais dans les arbres, moi encore à l'automne et toi déjà l'hiver, un beau sépia sur cet arbre et cette mince couche de neige
bonne position de cet arbre à gauche

Kielia (8625) 2009-11-04 10:19

Hallo Bratislav,
ein wunderschöner, wenn auch sehr melancholischer Eindruck vom Winter und eine hervorragende Komposition. Die Umwandlung in Sepia war eine ausgezeichnete Idee. Kompliment!
Herzliche Grüße aus Schleswig-Holstein (auch hier schneit es schon den ganzen Tag, aber der Schnee bleibt nicht liegen),
Harriet

hardyuno (2507) 2009-11-04 12:13

Hallo Bratislav,
durch die Sepiatonung ist das Bild sehr melancholisch. Aber das passt ganz gut zum Wetterumschwung vom Hrbst in den Winter. Gefällt mir ausgezeichnet.
Viele Grüße
Hartmut

phwall (5691) 2009-11-04 12:32

Hello my friend,
It looks bleak and cold, I can't say I envy you your approaching winter, brrrrrr.
You have a very good eye for placing the tree in precisely the right position of the frame.
Regards
Peter

gervaso (5524) 2009-11-04 15:07

Hello, Bratislav!

Beautiful soft colors, it looks a little nostalgic, it's great! Very beautiful composition with this lonely tree perfectly positioned! Wonderful job!

delpeoples (6471) 2009-11-05 0:45

Hi Braca, it's a long time we haven't seen you, my friend. I hope you are not working too hard. This is an excellent winter photo, it conveys a very desolate, lonely and cold landscape. Great choice with the monochrome and I like the slight grain to the image. Fantastic work, have a good week, Lisa

Bluejeans (32793) 2009-11-05 11:23

Ola Bratislav,
Que bela foto de inverno tem umas cores bem dramáticas , gostei muito dos detalhes da árvores , mas ao mesmo tempo uma imagem triste sem cor , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

maloutim (3999) 2009-11-05 12:45

Hi Bracasha!
You know, I have come to like your trees! You must have photographed about all of them in Despotovac! So you get snow in November in your part of the world! Yes, I understand winter gets a bit long in those cases!

So, to cheer you up, I have posted a bright sunny tree for you; it was photographed in November too! But don't you believe November is always like that in our regions. We often get a lot of rain!

Anyway, I think your choice of sepia was very good, so is the composition with the tree on the left and the white fields on the right!

Good luck for the coming winter!

Marie Louise.

ciakgiak (11026) 2009-11-05 13:46

Ciao Brati,

Hello Bratislav,

Winter 2008 not a black and white picture but a nice pink background.
You photo work here is excellent to show that pessimistic mood that winter sometimes brings & you were feeling.
Very well compostion, TFS.

Nice shape of the tree on foreground. Fairy atmosphere.
Nice friday

Michel .. have a good day..

Silvio1953 (42431) 2009-11-06 6:10

Ciao Braca, beautiful winter view with wonderful lonely tree, fascinating sepia conversion, very well done my friend, ciao Silvio

plimrn (19688) 2009-11-06 9:18

Hallo Bratislav,
Your sepia tones add a bit of warmth to what I'm sure was one of those flat, cold grey days that come between the brisk, breezy autumn days and the gleaming white days when the snow covers all with a big blanket. Good framing with the lone tree posed against the misty hillside slope.

I'm sorry to hear about your camera.

Wishing you health, love & joy (HLJ),
Pat

cobra112 (11756) 2009-11-06 9:59

Sdravo MF Brati. An exciting dephting winter view and good fascinating choise of virage. Have a nice WE.

PaulVDV (5308) 2009-11-06 10:58

Hello Bratislav,
A picture that shows the winter mood very well.
Nice with the alternating white and dark horizontal layers.
Winter starts early in Serbia.
Best regards, Paul

emjleclercq (14414) 2009-11-06 13:46

As uusal, I like the round tree which has became your trademark here on TE, and this winter landcape. But I am not sure about the usefullness of the sepia color, unless the sky was so grey that it was worth masking it.

All the best,

Emmanuel

ifege (1915) 2009-11-06 22:32

A very wintery shot Bratislav.
A very simple but effective composition and the colour (or lack of) works well.
cheers from Australia in Spring

danyy (69223) 2009-11-06 23:47

Hello Braca,
je reste séduit pas tes paysages isolés, rendorcés par le duotone et apparement je suis loin d'être le seul.
De belles lumières, douces, bien gérées qui rendent bien les détails au niveau du sol.
Bien à toi.
daniel.

Nicou (45381) 2009-11-07 2:09

ChrisJ (70373) 2009-11-07 3:31

Bonjour Bratislav

I would gaussian blur the sky to remove the artefacts. Well composed with the lonely tree well positioned on the 1/3 axis. The warm sepia tone adds mood. Tfs!

gunbud (28069) 2009-11-07 18:07

Hi Braca,
Winter has arrived early in the Seberian countryside this year.
The sepia format works very well conveying the cold dark days of winter.
Regards, Tom

dexy (156) 2009-11-08 11:48

Zdravo.

Jakab (3480) 2009-11-08 12:13

Hallo Bratislav!
Bist Du schon so weit? Ich denke noch nicht an den Winter - worauf ich sowieso am liebsten verzichten würde. Wie ich sehe, meine Gefühle sind im Einklang mit Deinem melancholischen Bild.
Viele Grüße
Laszlo

ilDottore (4004) 2009-11-08 12:39

Zdravo Braca,
Very nice view in this sepia.
I like your POV and composition.
Slightly pesimistic, yes, but let's not forget: there is always the spring after winter! :)
Best Regards!
Chris

buscape (3893) 2009-11-08 16:42

Hallo Bratislav,
bei uns ist zwar noch kein Schnee gefallen, aber es war heute auch ein recht trostloser und grauer Sonntag mit immer wieder leichtem Regen. Eben einer dieser Tage wo auch am Mittag die Energiesparlampen brennen. Die Konvertierung zu Sepia unterstreicht deine pessimistische Stimmung, aber auch diesen Winter werden wir überstehen. Ein paar Sonnentage werden uns dabei sicherlich helfen.
Viele Grüße aus dem Donautal,
Helmut

Hello Bratislav,
Great shot, very atmospheric! I like composition with only one strong element and warm light.
Very well done! Best regards. Uğur

gildasjan (24013) 2009-11-09 12:14

Bonsoir Bratislav
Un bouquet de branches qui ressort bien sur le rest e de la composition sépia,toutefois je pense qu'un B&W nature aurait mieux rendu le blanc de la neige.
Bonne soirée
Amicalement
gildas

pablominto (41084) 2009-11-09 22:45

Hello Bratislav,

I thought you already have winter, then I notice this is last year but not so much later!
I suppose you added this sepia effect but in fact it is not much different from a winder day with low light...
A well balanced composition with good depth!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Ola_Kwiatek (2708) 2009-11-10 0:30

Wonderful winter in Serbia. Amazing snow. Excellent tree. Good composition. Perfect frame.

danos (32956) 2009-11-10 0:37

Good morning Bratislav,
a nice Sepia format with the lonely tree to stand in the snowy ground.The haze of the background make the scene more atmospheric.

Have a nice day,Danos

macjake (2112) 2009-11-10 20:10

Hello Bratislav

lovely photo of a large lonely tree.
I notice the tree is located perfectly at the 1/3 position.
Well done
Have a great day

Hello Braca,
Your thoughts of winter and pesermism have been captured well. Nice somber presentation. I nearly had to go and put a jacket on to write my comments :)
Kind regards,
Graham.

Hi Braca,
