Your first B&W is gorgeous Liliana. I think it is much more striking than the color version. The layers of mountain create good depth to the photo. The sky and the snow look so smooth. Well done.

Ryan

Hello Liliana

Balanced composition, optimal the effects of light and the tonality.
Always fascinating black and white, also when the snow is the protagonist of the photography.
It compliments

Hello Liliana,

Interesting photo of this snowy landscape. The B&W conversion was successful: it gives a feeling of dreamlike due to the particular lightning of the scene. It makes me think about the horror movies of the Hammer company: perhaps the opposition between the grey sky and the light spot on the snow in the foreground.

Hi, my friend!
It is artistic photo! Very good quality, very good idea. I like your Alps. I was in Alps in France, Swiss, Austria. But not in Germany. I see germany Alps are beautiful to. Nice frame. Well done.

Hi Liliana,

This is a really well presented B&W shot. The important item in any mono shot is contrast and this shot has it just right, breathtaking scenery too.

Best regards,
Paul.

Hi Liliana,
Well, I'm so lucky to arrive just to catch this first great B/W picture!
I like so much the high quality of the image, and the great range tones that it has.
Did you applyed any special procedure on PP?
I ask because it has any special characteristic, I don't know to say exactly what, it's kind a soft effect like the ones got with filters.
Anyways, I think you made a beautiful composition for this presentation.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

singuanti (15240) 2007-05-17 22:23

Hi Lili. I must commend you on a job well done with your first b/w. I particularly like the blurry feel to the atmosphere that gives it both a surreal and painterly feel. You've got lots of contrast without blowing any highlights. Awesome shot Lili!

AiresSantos (42544) 2007-05-18 7:00

HI Liliana,
Very nice snow landscape from Austria. Excellent black and white composition, very well framed and done
Greetings

jmcl (14013) 2007-05-19 1:27

Hi Liliana,

Wonderful control of all that light .. the atmosphere of your tone is tremendous and evocative .. it goes really well with the vastness of the scene. My favorite part is the way I feel the wind on the snow and the shadows in motion together .. wonderful image.

take care,

John

chicken (1781) 2007-05-19 10:27

I love the magic mood of this image. Besides the wonderful tones it has some kind of exotic, I'd almost say "warm" glow to it. Would you mind sharing some of your post processing tricks?

Jackos (3429) 2007-05-19 16:06

Hi Liliana
Why have you finished your winter photos? I'm sad :( All the winter series is beautiful. This B&W shot is amazing as well. These blured mountains look wonderful.
Warmness

ribeiroantonio (21957) 2007-05-20 20:41

I like it very much but I think it is too soft. In my opinion, it is missing some levels of noise to make it perfect.

Hi, Liliana. A very good B&W picture of the Austrian Alps. The contrast between the snow and the trees is remarkable and the place looks really pristine. Very good depth and light.

Hello Liliana,
Other technique, other frame box, but as the always splendid picture and uncommon connected survivals with his inspection. Photo very graphic, but not devoid delicacies. I will say even that it implicates all elements of the feminine fineness. The very nice realization, the excellent picture and the splendid operation on lights.
Best regards,
Jurek

jemaflor (39573) 2007-05-22 12:19

Hi Liliana,
Nice winterlandscape, interesting idea for the b&w, well contrated and good effect alos for the sky.

Vato_Law (11686) 2007-05-22 16:27

Hello Liliana,
This is one of the most beautiful snow photos I've seen in the last times on TE, love this magical atmosphere, the contrasts, the light and the textures.
It seems there is PP work here but it fits perfectly and results even better.
Cheers.
Paulo

jirivrobel (534) 2007-05-23 5:24

I love b/w. Perfectly converted. Excellently tuned contrast.

Bandit (2118) 2007-05-23 13:50

Superbe !! On se croirait devant un véritable tableau !! La texture que forme la neige sur les montagne est vraiment magnifique. Le tout mis en valeur par un cadre judicieusement choisi !!
Bravo !!!

Emile (20041) 2007-05-23 23:25

Hola Liliana.
Great winter scene in B&W, your shot present a very good perspective and POV. Good work with lights, a perfect composition. Your color shot in your WS is also lovely.
Well done. TFS.
Best regards.

anducina (8119) 2007-05-24 6:21

Excelent peisaj a/n, imi plac foarte mult compozitia, incadrarea si aceste tonuri soft.

baba_flies (8035) 2007-05-24 10:17

Wow Liliana, this is truly something here! You have transformed it into a really special photo. Very artistc approach I find. I love the writing in the frame and that you left a lot of white around the photo suiting the mood of a winter day. Excellent ... although I am more in the mood for summer (very warm in Zurich, feels like July). Have a wonderful afternoon, Barbara.

bigboroboy (1009) 2007-05-24 21:01

I really think this is the strongest mountain shot in your gallery. It is amazing. B&W was clearly a great choice and that sky makes a fantastic backdrop. EXCELLENT.

PHIL

denizler (4506) 2007-05-25 8:45

Hi Lili,
Very beautiful shot!Very nice B&W composition.
The lighting is also very good.Congrats!!
Cordial Greetings,

UlfE (9058) 2007-05-26 7:55

Hi Liliana,

I have not visited your gallery for a while and I am delighted to see that you have posted an excellent series of photos from the Austrian Alps. I guess that you might have taken this picture in colour and then converted it into B & W since the lighting and weather were not the best for the colours. Whatever your reason was I think you have made an absolutely wonderful job. It looks like a post card from the 1950s and this is one of your best from the Alps. Have a nice week-end!

Cheers,

Ulf

sothy81 (8536) 2007-05-27 23:11

plimrn (19688) 2007-05-31 20:15

Hello Liliana,
Your beeautiful photo reminds me of Ansel Adam's work. The excellent range of the shades of black and white takes the best advantage of the sofly flowing lines of snow. HLJ, Pat

oochappan (22032) 2007-06-03 7:01

Graphically the scene has enough elements to go for a B&W and your soft focus edition makes it indeed dreamy, the snow perfect textured, a very fine enhanced B&W compared with the colored version very natural but here your edition makes it incongruous. Good choice Liliane.
greetings
Henk

adores (15683) 2007-06-04 18:33

Hi Liliana!
A great composition and a great conversion also.You have started very well with B&W.I like that fence and the trees that seem so small. Great capture!

Uma foto lindíssima, parece um quadro de pintura. A paisagem lembra formas interessantes. Parabéns!

Grande abraço,

hitesh (594) 2007-06-13 9:48

Hi Lili,
Your first b/w shot is one of the best b/w shot of TE.I think the combination of black, grey and white is so perfect that it feels like an art.Nicely framed and composed.Tfs and regards,
Hitesh

bazal (7898) 2007-06-17 5:49

Hi Liliana.
First, I would say that it's really nice to discover your album here on TE. I like the variety of your subjects and the way you present them.
Now to speak about this one, I must confess that it's very difficult to say anything original after 90 other comments... Nevertheless, I like the way you crop the picture, which allows us to appreciate the wide spaces. The B&W treatment is also very nice and this version is to my opinion much more eye catching than the original in ws. The very soft textures and contrasts appear really better on his version.
Thanks for sharing.
Regards.
Loic.

granchius (3503) 2007-06-23 14:26

Hi Liliana,
your B&W are simply fantastic! This photo is so perfect that seems tridimensional.

PLD_images (7141) 2007-07-07 16:58

Wow... For a first shot in black and white, it's totally beautiful. The shades of grey, the composition, all is so well managed.
Conrgats on such a good photo.

happypoppeye (4062) 2007-07-11 17:25

Wow, this is nice Liliana. I wasn't expecting the smooth "diffuse glow" look when I saw the thumbnail. Very pleasing grey tones and shades in the snow, really good contrast between the snow, trees and rocks and great composition. I also like the framing, the white on white looks really good.

Great work.
John

     PDP (439) 2007-07-16 15:11

Hello Lili, this is a very pleasing image. May I ask what PP you used here - i like the effect. Very good composition and it makes me feel a little lonely and isloated. Good stuff.

Manash (498) 2007-07-17 2:52

Hi liliana,
It makes poetry of the nature...mountain is the most favourite place to me I go every year in Himalaya..it goes to my fav.

Buna Lili,
Ce imagine reusita! Nu prea sunt eu prietena cu NeatImage (ne-am certat de vreo cateva ori :))), la niste foto) dar in imaginea asta efectul e superb.
Imi place mult, mult lumina, foarte buna alegerea B&W si a ramei. Bravo, frumos lucrat!!!

steliosk (4784) 2007-10-05 1:34

Hi Liliana
and thanks for sharing such a picture

we are used to say in every picture that is wonderful and excellent, perfect maybe but what shall we say about this one?
the answer is -all above multiplied by 2 :)
The B/W, the lighting tones, and the softness this picture has, creates an atmosphere which gives another feeling rather an ordinary touristic picture of the place.

This is the kind of picture for us the viewers, to learn from,
it has something unique, and i just keep staring it... for the past 15 min, which reminds me that i have to run to the office!!! :(

Best Regards
Stelios

marietom (32052) 2007-10-30 4:30

Hi Liliana,

Quelle splendeur, cette image de paysage. C'est grandiose, et très bien mis en valeur par le noir et blanc. Bravo

Mistral (13700) 2007-11-07 15:20

Ciao Liliana,
ho poco da aggiungere di non già detto da altri anche se non riesco ancora a capire bene cosa hai fatto per ottenere una foto così... Certamente é molto bella e di grande impatto!
Un sorriso

sadeik (3159) 2007-11-11 13:32

Beautiful mountain scenery and in black and white too. Personally I prefer black and white and here it has worked extremely well and the composition is superb. The photo also has a lovely silky feel to it

branley (3681) 2007-12-11 2:22

Hi Liliana,

this is more like a painting than a photograph. It has great depth and I like your pov with the slopes coming down from the left also, in the background, a mountain stopping us in our tracks. The sky is very atmospheric, the contrasts are great and you've taken in the perfect light. It's a superb capture, well done.

My regards and I wish you a fine festive season,

Stephen

Dear friend, I am sorry to announce that I may be departing from TE very soon. The reason is that TE admins keep erasing my photos although here there are many similar ones, some without even a note! I keep on posting and they keep on rejecting without a "real" reason. when I ask for an explanation by e-mail, they keep ignoring me. Today as another act of threat they erased one of my first posts here. I posted on the forum requesting advise, they erased that post also. I cannot keep up with this rude behavior, I feel I am posting to my stupid pc since once rejected no one responds to my requests.
You be well and keep shooting!
Nick
