Shadows and silhouettes through the mist

The farmhouse and the grove of trees were backlit by the rising early morning sun, partly illuminating the mist which still obscured my view. The picture was taken across a valley, with the farmhouse up on the opposite hill - the sunlight is coming from below this hill. The left side has slightly less mist obscuring the view and maybe an alternate title could have been "... and The Curtain Opened".

I love your explanation, and the "other" title. You did explain really well and the photo with these hues of blue give more dreamy thoughts and view.

Colmar Wocke MarieM,

Glad you enjoyed the picture - I still enjoy the scene myself anew, when people stop by to give some nice comment, like you have.

Looked back at this Colmar, and this remains my favourite landscape that I have ever seen...

Colmar Wocke Alex,

Very kind of you to say that.

This was an amazing capture - even for me, while taking it!

I was particularly chuffed myself when it went through 10 000 clicks this past weekend.

Go well.

But, sometimes one is lucky.

great lights you have here, magic image

Colmar Wocke Simay,

Thank you very much for your comment about the light - it does have a special, magic-like feel to it, I agree. Somewhat "soft", but as you know - the mist does this and it actually adds atmosphere.

Codrin Lupei 3 years ago

Wonderful image, Colmar, a very beautiful capture, yes, painting with light...Love it!

Codrin

Colmar Wocke Codrin,

Thanks to you too and it is especially meaningful to me when a photographer who has a wonderful portfolio says this. It can only enthuse me for more photographs.

I look forward to developing even more in my photographic walk and VALUE your comments!

Colmar

Tor Håkon Eriksen 3 years ago

Absolutely stunning. Thanks for sharing a bit of story about the picture too. It feels like looking into a fairytale.

Colmar Wocke Tor,

Painting with light it is - you are right. I am especially glad that you also liked the little story attached to it - I always do this with ones that I submit. The photo is a story, I just round it off or close it out, with something extra.

Go well and thank you for your very strong compliment.

Stunning image, so glad to see it accepted!

Colmar Wocke Alexander,

I have many people to thank on OneXposure for helping me improve. Your very accurate comments to me, on other photographs in Critique, have enthused me and helped me look with a keener eye at what I still need to do.

This particular one I was lucky with and it sailed through - however, I am sure I will be back in Critique in the next little while, with others that have not made it.

Thank you and go well!

Colmar

Alexander OBrien The fact that my critiques helped you makes me really happy. I admire your images very much, they are an inspiration. Feel free to join me in the critique section anytime. I've got one there now ;)

Thank you for your very strong statement of approval here.

For me, this kind of moody, intense shot is something new and I hope to develop even more in this regard. But, this was the first step.

Colmar.

Excellent Colmar - the violet tone is so unusual. Great atmosphere created here. Andre

Colmar Wocke Andre,

I have just arrived home from work and I am of course very pleased that this image is up on OneXposure.

Thank you, once again for taking an interest in my photography - it helps me "develop" although it is digital nowadays. I only mustn't "stop" here and still need to "fix" myself into a style.

Regards,

Colmar
