Title: Austrian Landscapes
Post by: Jeevz on August 26, 2015, 04:21:35 am
A few shots of Austria... Probably not quite as cliche as my Italy thread...

I really like the front to back sharpness in #1.
Rich colours in all.

Each one is great, but the first photo is my favorite (love the DOF and composition). Thanks for posting.

Same for me, the first one is the standout but the other two photos are very pleasing too. The last one looks like a painting!

Yes, you're right francois. It reminds me of one of the paintings out of the Hudson River School of artists. Nice!

Very nice work. Like the post-production; just the right side of the real/unreal boundary.

I'll be different: while all three are lovely, it's the second that grabs my attention.

+1 - the third one is striking.

Very nice all of them.

Sometimes people overdo that mystical hazy glow, but I think you have found the right balance in #3

All of them are very nice but for different reasons.  #2 is my favorite but I can see an argument for either of the other two depending on the person's taste.  All of them are nicely seen.

Really nice work. I'm also a big fan of the first one. Very well done.

Number 2 is my favorite.

The light is outstanding.

As a frequent visitor to Austria, I think all of these are lovely.

Some comments:

They all have a slightly other-worldly look, which I think comes from the processing.

§1, the green of the grass seems slightly unnatural.

§2, the pool of light by the shore, was this how it appeared at the time or was there some post processing help?  I am trying and failing to work out where the sun is.

§3, the slow shutter speed has created a fairy tale impression.  Not at all natural, but very beautiful.

Lovely and emotive impressions.
