Sorry I did not react any earlier. Sometimes I just cannot cope with all messages at once. But let me add quickly that I am most grateful whenever you feature one of my shots. Thanks a lot for doing so.

You're welcome - I will always try to let you know when I feature your stuff (it's polite to do it!!) but if you're not always able to get back to me I will understand my friend.

This is really nice. The mist gives it such a cool look.

Many thanks for commenting so nicely. Yes, I seem to get better and better with mist shots!
You may be interested to know that I have three galleries on dA; perhaps you feel like having a look at my other two galleries too:

Very pretty and misty! I half expect to see the headless horseman come charging along on his black steed, though...

This reminds me of a horseshot taken on this path. Not headless though ... fortunately!

I shall walk with you then in my mind- it is a lovely place!

Beautiful misty shot!!! The path looks like it's ending like a tunnel in the end. The tunnel of spring?!
The place must be beautiful in spring and summer too!!!

Well, it was not yet the tunnel of spring! But I shall return there often enough, and I shall takes new pictures this time!
Thanks very much for the fav!

You're welcome! Nice to see the same place in different seasons.

on the thumbnail, it looked like there was a deep drop on the left, and actually, If i don't look there well, it still gives the illusion one could so easely fall there. It gives the image a very interresting balance and dynamic. What I don't like are the blurred leaves you can see on the top part, esspecially the ones in the middle, the right corner ones kinda fit.

I told my wife about it! Those leaves! He would see them! Actually I cut quite a few away by cropping the shot at the top, but felt I could not crop it more.
But you did not mention the second point why this is not a really perfect shot: the lamppost of the farm some 50 or so meters on on the right. Damn that lamppost! As there was little light I had to press the camera against a tree! So I could not go closer to get the leaves out and neither could I stand more to the right to get that lamppost out! One should carry a tripod along in the evening!

You hid the post well though, I was so focussed on not visually falling into the river that I forgot to complain about it !!! :eyespopping:
the solution to your dilemma would be manipulation, but I know you don't favor meddling to much with your shots
π: 0 β©: 1
No, no such manip!
Actually it is no river, but an old canal, to be exact! But never mind ...
π: 0 β©: 0
Nice elements in the shot but for me the canal to the left doesn't work composition-wise (Collective Boo Hisses from Deviantarters)
The shot for me is down the path towards the tunnel of light.. did you take any other shots at this time? Great light tho.

As I answered to your reaction on the new-submitted shot: Like improves by differences. Actually I had no better shot from that walk, but took one from a walk a few days earlier. You have to work with what you have.

wow, the colours and the fog look beautiful.

How similar (as I have said before) our two parts of the world are. I just love this. The two mallards there in the water, the misty air, the trail leading to the next adventure or photograph, the small puddles caused by rain, leaves still sitting in little wind made piles. Fantastic submission, thank you so much for sharing .... mmm yes would walk there too.

What a lovely reaction! Taking in with such pleasure all the elements of this shot! I am very glad I could give you this bit of pleasure! Shall try again ...

Love the mistiness in this, and really like that you got the trail and water all in frame.

I am very pleased indeed that your impression of the shot is so positive. Thanks a lot for the fav!

On second thoughts: you have been there. We went there when we took all those horse shorts, with those of the little poney, too.

I thought so, is that where we saw those jumping ones?

Not really at this very spot, but quite near!

The duckΒ΄s head is under its wing. This is the way they sleep when they are feeling safe.
Great you like the view! Thanks a lot for telling it.

Wonderful shot,Juergen! Thank you for sharing it!!
π: 0 β©: 1
Super that you are going to watch my stuff here, too. To say the truth: there is still one more gallery! I hope you will not feel offended by this remark. 
And not to forget: many, many thanks for the fav!

Do you mean "Esperimenti"?.... 
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I do. I chose the title because I am learning Italian and I liked it, wanting the gallery for some experiments. But soon it became a serious gallery under the unwritten title "man and manΒ΄s work", with some overlap with especially the lightthinker gallery of course, as that one is not so very much nature-directed as this one is by now.
π: 0 β©: 1
Dear Juergen,the fact is that lightthinker jchanders and Esperimenti have three wonderful galleries!!

I am very pleased you react so very positively to my pushy suggestion. Great you like all three galleries and will now immediately see all my submissions.

The pleasure is all mine!

OMG! this is simply magical! one of your very best photos!

I am very, very pleased with your great reaction. Much flattered even. Many thanks for the fav!

My gosh, that is a wonderful location, like a fairy land. I think that some of those manip artist would love to have that as a background!
