The light is fantastic in #3 and #4 #4 is the one

No 3 is the strongest image imho - so I'll talk about that one. I like the colours and light it has a very serene feel to it. Your northern skies and low sun give such magical shots. I like the compo with the bridge wires mirroring the shape of the snow in the foreground and the uprights doing the same for the trees. I find the tree on the right to be a distraction from this and if I were to want to improve the image I would crop it in from the right to where the bridge wires meet the trees.

For cryin out loud Andreas...How do you do it. That bridge is stunning. They all are, but the bridge.That is going to make one helluva good print.I will be staring at that for a long time on my desktop,if you don't mind me snatching it.

Thanks you Richard...esers. I hear you my good man....although i prefer the wider crop...hmmm...i shall have a try at it though. THANKS!!! MAS RULES!!!!! #:O)

Oh...and i might add....that 8 hour drive...is usually over in 6.5 hours when youre not bringing a camera, LOL.

Yep, both 4 and 9 are fantastic! Concerning 1, the idea is great but contrasts are blown by the bright sun, in this case just act like me and throw your stomach on the ground, looking to ice-crystals with the sun shining on it against a blue sky may result in fabulous captures. And afterwards have a nice cup of coffee or tea or so... :) Hard to chose between 4 and 9, too different, as chosing between apple and pear - both tasty! The car and the sun are GREAT illustrations for a travel-story, do it depends in what context you wanna use your shots. Have a wonderful Sunday! :)

THANK YOU ALL!!!! #:o) That answers my questions...number 1 and 2 goes either to the trashcan or into one of them leftover-collages of mine, LOL.

My fav. is the "first" bridge. Just the way it is with the tree and everything. So many different "lines" for your eyes to follow - and the colours are just marvellous... You are really blessed to live in such a beautiful landscape!

OK where to start? ;) Number one, while it is blown where the sun is, I can forgive that because I love the ice coated plant life do you have more of this one??? Number two is ok in my book, I am not sure how I feel about that one, I am not real wild about the car in this image, but it is a pretty scenic except for that. Numbers three and four are beautiful! I would not hesitate to show either one of these! Gorgeous! :) Number five was probably missing something and that is why you rendered a moon in there? The moon is too big imo, But very realistic looking, might be better say half that size. Hmmmmm... Number nine is excellent! Love this one, but don't delete numbers three or four. I would show these three, and maybe number one if I didn't have another shot that wasn't blown. No fixing it once it is blown, but like I said I could overlook that. Hope that helped! Brenda :) P.S. Exactly what is MAS? I must have missed something.

MAS stands for "Mutual Admiration Society"...a very tight and secluded community within the community. LOL. Thanks Andrea and Brenda. I guess well see who "survives" long enough to make it to the galleries, LOL. I have a tendency of growing sick of my photos just seeing them in my folders. #:o)

LOL!!! Darn you Richard...outshining eachother aint the MAS-motto! #:oP Wonderful job....as to be expected. To think what you could do with the originalsized image...hmmmm....aha, i got an idea....i do belive i shall mail you all my photos Sir....muahahaha!!!

I offered to come and show you but you told me I would have to sleep in the stables with the reindeer :P

Noooooo...you misunderstood Richard.....i told you that you could stay in the kennel under the garage. Man are you spoiled or what! Its heated and everything. #:oP

Andreas, When I have a "questionable image" I put it on my desktop, if I get tired of seeing it within the week it gets removed and thrown in the rejects folder. If I still like it after a week or two, I might post it and put it in the printables folder! :) I have found that images grow on me that way. But hey that is just me... Brenda :)

THEY CAN GROW ON YOU???? LOL! I never had that. Either i like it straight away or i will graduatly start disliking it unless im 100% sure about it. #:o)

Yes it is the ones that I don't like right away that tend to grow on me like a fungus or something! Remember that first sunrise I dedicated to you? That was one of em! The one on my desktop right now I could never tire of sigh, it didn't need to grow on me, but I have one I need to put there in place of it to see how I like it. I change them around and back as necessary. Or I could post it here to see how you all like it... Brenda :)

Well I am messed up now. I like both. One I like becuase there is no branches in the way, then again the branches make a sort of nice photographic look. The architect of this bridge would probably be thrilled to have such a good picture.

LOL,Nikki,definately not meatball!Nor is gurksallad.Right min svenska vannen?SUH!Inspirerar vem annars pRR san namnger av hetsbetygelse? Suh! en om I-stillbilden inte begriper egentligen puss-gurkan! ;^) Andreas,I like #3,the color is lovely,and I really like the POV...#4 is great,but it leaves me a bit cold...I guess I'm used to seeing more 'warmth' in your pics...#9 is wonderful.I guess that one is your preferred one as well. The car shot would be good in a collage,but only in that context,I think.And I like the moon shot...except I think the moon is a bit too large.It looks like it's taken on another planet or something.Then again,maybe you wanted that other-worldly look... Just thought I'd add my two-cents.It will be interesting to see the shots you loved from your roadtrip.I'm sure they're fabulous if you're that happy with them. :^) PS I wouldn't worry about the trad-polisen,lol. ;^)

Andreas, I like all the shots..but #6 the best. Somehow, the bridge seems too modern for the feeling of the scene but that is what is. With Nikki, this sort of photog can make poetry come out. I write both free verse and stuff with a rhyme on occasion, now that I am beyond the puppy college years of sobby poetry. ( Whew, to have spelt that ok is enough for me!) Nice road trip. I love to see slices of places I have not visited.

All very beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing. -:-)

LMAO@Muttern!!! Arent we proud over our viking-heritage? LOL. Thanks Doug, thats very kind of you. Thank you Marlene for your two cents...keep bringing them...soon enough ill have enough dollars to buy myself a new camera, lol. As for that moon-compo...it was never intended to look real. I kinda liked the surreal look that big ass moon gave it. Tom...cool....thanks guys. #:O) P.S....what word did you translate into "I-stillbilden"??? What does "I-sillbilden" mean anyway? LOL.

I'm not sure actually.I think it was 'I still do not understand'...But I'm not sure any more.I don't save the 'english' version,lol. Funny that it means nothing to you.LOL.I'm not surprised! ;^)

1st one is great with the light but if it was shot from the POV more from the left or in sillo on the right it would be excellent. 2nd one is just lovely! nice and nostalgic. 3rd one - I like onslow's edit. Just my humble opinion...

Utter garbage. Throw them all in the waste bin! Oh wait, never mind, I was looking at my photos. Yours are terrific as I see you've been told already, so I won't blah blah blah.

I put bla bla bla through my google-translator and found out that in france they say "Blah de blah", so can you try and be a tad more international my american friend? Thanks by the way! #:oD

My appologies, "Blah de Blah!" Excusi blah del blah del blah blah do blah do blah blah ?blah ?blah

ROFL! Thats more like it monsiour! #;o)
