Golden trees Photo

Photographer’s Note

Just a few minutes before sun disappeared behind the mountains.
Tree: a simple motive but always an inspiration, changing through seasons, time of day, type of weather or just the angle of light. Never the same, but always magnificent.

horatiuTT (4566) 2007-12-29 3:43

Hi Jeri,
I like very much the light and the strong contrast between
the gold colour of the foreground and the dark blue of the
background.Nice clarity also,good work indeed.
Cheers,
Horatiu

Hi Jeri! Ahh, that magic light against the dark blue of the mountain! A sure winner every time. I like the composition and your exposure is spot-on. Only small point that bothers me a little is that the image could perhaps have been a bit sharper. But a great shot all the same; well done!

macondo (12933) 2007-12-29 4:16

Hello Jeri.
Very nice colour contrast in this simple but well composed shot. Magnificent last sunshine makes the tree and the grass look so alive against the darker background. So atmospheric and tranquil.

Hi Jeri.
Your picture is exellent, The coulors is fantastic - Thumbs up!

Ebbe (9571) 2007-12-29 7:19

Very nice play of light and shadow in this. The repetition of shapes from one tree to another but with a big difference in size is very nice too.

mikeo (12113) 2007-12-29 8:20

Hi Jeri,

Really nice shot! Autumn shot - but is it snow in background? Looks interesting... Front in autumn and backgrond as winter:) Terrific sunlight and these colours... Very like it...

Greetings,

La lumière, en créant ce fort contraste entre les arbres et le fond, t'a permis de composer une belle photo aux couleurs attractives.

tjanze (5674) 2007-12-30 5:59

Pozdravljena Jeri!
Odlična kompozicija in barve.Simple je vedno najboljše.Ostrina je dobra,tako kot na vseh tvojih fotografijah.
Samo osebno mnenje.Zadaj v senčnem delu se vidi moder nadih.Jaz bi tam modrino zmanjšal.
Pa tisti prometni znak na desni bi odkloniral.Je sicer majhen ampak kvari naravo.
Kot sem rekel samo osebno mnenje.
Želim lepe praznike.
Vlado!

Eraldi (0) 2007-12-30 6:24

Hi Jeri,
It's great....the right place in the right moment, the perfect POV, ...and sure the perfect eye of a photograph.

Best Wishes, Eraldi

feather (49848) 2007-12-30 8:22

It might just be a simple tree, but this image is all about the light, and catching it just before it went behind the mountains was good timing to have the tree highlighted and the background dark for extreme contrast. Good work

archimatica (13112) 2007-12-30 12:59

Hi, Jeri!
Fantastic contrast between the tree and the background.
Best wishes for 2008.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

wishlist (4133) 2007-12-31 2:36

Hello Jeri,
a simple but very effective compo!! The lonely tree standing well against the dark hill in the bg is a good focal point in the compo, enhanced even more by that fablolus gold tone of the field. I like it!
Thanks for sharing and all the very best wishes for a great 2008

aral (1195) 2008-01-01 10:07

Živjo Jeri,

fajn kompozicija.

Prometni znak res nekoliko moti, ampak je stvar pristopa, ali pri pokrajinah kaj odkloniraš ali ne. Sam navijam za to, da bi bilo takšnih posegov čim manj.

jlbrthnn (36702) 2008-01-01 11:13

Hello Jeri,
You finish the year with success. This last image 2007 is absolutely beautiful. Excellent use of the shade and light. Cheer.
Happy New Year 2008
Cordially.
Joel

Miha2ou7 (4887) 2008-01-01 12:08

Živjo Jeri.

Super pokrajina, oba drevesa naredita lepo kompozicijo, perfektne barve, zanimivo da v Bovcu ni (bilo) snega.

Kakorkoli, uživaj.

neruda (4626) 2008-01-02 1:07

Hi Jorgi,
Happy new years:))
Light is grear , it is hot and soft that is golden time .
And composition: Lonely tree and far litlle one, balanced.
Congrats...

MarianneS (14262) 2008-01-02 1:19

Hello Jeri,
Very nice gold postal card!
The colours are sweet and light at the foreground is superb and offers a good contrast with the background.
I like your note too..

tyro (2564) 2008-01-02 5:30

Hello, Jeri.

This is stunning! Fabulous light and beautiful colours. Very well taken indeed!

Excellent!

Best Wishes,

John.

trekks (14260) 2008-01-02 7:25

Very clever choice of FG from BG on a contrasting exposure setting. It highlights very well the golden tree that you have titled very well. The BG details seem hard to read, which does not really affect the overall view. Nice work. TFS

Hi Jeri,
You caught here a marvellous lighting ! good job, the tree in foregroud looks like it's burning !

Best regards from switzerland

cbrman (18629) 2008-01-03 3:59

Hello Jeri,

Tu as une très belle galerie, ton travail est excellent !
J'aime beaucoup cette image dont les couleurs et la lumière sont très belles ! L'exposition est très bonne et la composition bien pensée ! Je trouve qu'il manque toutefois un brin de sharpening car le temps de pose est trop court pour la focale que tu as utilisé !
1/50 sec for a focal of 62mm is too short and that give a little blur in your beautiful picture !

A+

Dominique

woozbman (366) 2008-01-03 20:52

Hi Jeri,

This truly is golden. Golden light, golden trees, golden fields. Nice background and composition. You get a gold medal from me :)

Best regards,

rossy85 (2865) 2008-01-05 2:00

Hi Jeri,

Very good capture. I like a lot the gold color in contrast to the dark blue behind. Good work!

Bravo for this fantastic contrast. The composition is also very beautiful with these two trees in diagonal.

Hello Jeri

Another great photo. In this one the difference between first plan and background is amazing!

I really like it!

Take care!!
Lukasz

Truja (4948) 2008-01-20 14:55

Hola Jeri,
delicate composition made with much art and artistic sensitivity. Elegant colors, dominating the golden one and giving harmony and heat to the photography. I like specially the force that gives the presence of the tree of the first plane to the rest of the scene.
Great work Jeri!!

Salut, Jordi

abettine (429) 2008-01-29 13:02

Bonsoir Jeri
il y a des choses très intéressantes dans votre galerie. J'aime beaucoup vos photos d'arbres et de sous bois. celle-ci est très plaisante avec ces couleurs dorées.
Merci de partager.
Antoine.

ChrisJ (69368) 2008-02-01 1:03

Hi Jeri

A superb landscape, with an attractive colour contrast, between the yellow brown fg, and shadowed blue grey bg. Good sharpness & pov. Superb lighting contrasts & graphism of the tree at left. Tfs!

degani (2876) 2008-02-02 3:21

Hello Jeri,

Today I browsed to your gallery as result of your visit to my gallery.
I saw very a lot lovely pictures, but I chose this picture for the quality and composition.
Light and dark care for a nice picture, very pleasant for look it.
Thanks for sharing.

Best regards,
John.

AKITA (5025) 2008-02-10 8:35

Dear Jeri,
the impressive shot. the tree inspired you the heart.
the photo is the record of the lighted object, at the moment of the time, and the place in the world. and also it is the memory of your lighted mind, at the sensation of the feeling, and the presence of the existence.
yes all is changing but each one is quite true and beautiful. we can realize something like eternity in a moment.
the golden light of an instant was reflected by the tree and the blue shadow made it more vivid, and you captured this unchanged image in the changing all...
thank you,
Akihisa

PixelTerror (85994) 2008-02-15 1:31

Hi Jeri,
This shows how simplicity makes a good photo, just the right timing fot the right light, contrasting areas and an element that stands out, this was the recipe for success here, I like it as well.
Have a nice day JY

zumalife (185) 2008-02-17 23:23

This is beautiful. You have managed to capture the shapes in the background (without it all looking black). Well done!

Pascale (10066) 2008-02-28 4:48

Bonjour Jeri
Ce bleu et or ..quelle splendeur.La lumière est vraiment magnifique .Une excellente composition ,j'aime beaucoup
Amitiés

zhelach (3590) 2008-03-15 2:39

Zdravo Jeri!
U nedostatku novih da ti prosetam malo po starim fotografijama! Divna atmosfera u podnozju Boveca! Na Sajmu turiyma sam uzela mnogo divnih prospekata iz ovog kraja! Predivni planinski predeli! Odusevila sam se!
Pozdrav, Zorica

sagar (2295) 2008-03-16 6:27

Hi Jeri,
I made a tour of your gallery today and found that this is the shot that marked the 'transformation' of yours as a photographer. This so different from the previous ones that you posted and literally set up a bench mark that set the standards for your vision as a photographer.
This one has lovely golden tones in the tree and the fg, but what I really admire is the greenish background....strikes a lovely contrast to the rich gold!!!!
Beautifully seen and taken,
With my wishes from India,
Sagarneel.

steliosk (4784) 2008-03-19 6:26

I don't know how did I missed this one, god I must be blind!
lovely colours, placement of the tree, and shadows.

I'm putting this one to my favourites theme, without a second thought :)
My congratulations and TFS

Regards
Stelios

avene (10810) 2008-03-27 8:44

hello Jeri,
the dark blue mountains in the background work really well to emphasise the golden light on the grass and on the tree, and I like a lot how you have composed the photo, the smaller tree to the right gives a nice sense of distance. beautiful calm and serene scene that can never get boring. very well seen :)

with kind regards,
Kristine

meltemi (9744) 2008-05-05 7:01

Hello Jeri,
excellent picture. The light management is perfect and the point of view is extremely well chosen. The colors are glorious. You play very well with light and shadows in the background, this gives a wonderful composition and presentation.
All the best.
Stella

danos (31520) 2008-05-10 3:48

Hello Jeri,
what a magical sunset view with the last beams of the sun to floodlight the foreground and especially th lonely tree.The blueish background looks so strange to me but i like it.I prefer this hue than the black one.Excellent presentation of this simple scene.Bravo

Have a nice weekend,Danos

arnabchat (6958) 2008-10-15 10:34

classic, with the combination of blue and gold.. always go well.
Bovec is due for me next summer, I have already been in Bohinj twice this year, or maybe, I am tempted to visit in the snow season... who knows!
greetings,
Arnab
