Description

The last Terra-Snowa Soldiers hide behind the hill. Would these be the reserves? One thing is sure, they stand tall and won't go anywhere! Minolta X-700 (Fuji Sensia 100, 50 mm) Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments

A crtique last night noticed that in one of my images the light seemed to be coming from the opposite direction of the sun's position. My aftercare is that that property is called reflection and it is what makes opaque pigment have color. Here we see only the rocks are black. The shadows are some diffuse reflection collectively sent to the backs of the soldiers. There is some diffraction, yes, but the snow has a bright albedo in spite of it's coldness. A really showoff picture, I'd say. Who has ever seen this before?!!

This one has a "flow" to it. It's like magic - it motionlessly dances to Nature's silent Music.

where are we? still on Earth? there is something very surreal about this image. dunno what. i love it; it's beautiful, but something here seems out-of-this world. what are those soldiers? they r trees? i pretend i'm movie director, "ACTION"...LET THE SNOWBALL FIGHT CONTINUE...!!!!! I'm so glad Ilona started this!! high 5's girl!! swoops down from director's chair, makes snowball, and aims...splat gotcha, Jan-Carel! right in the stomach. running away....uh oh! hey Ilona, you and me are gonna be toast soon! Let's enlist help of those soldiers down there!!! It's a beautiful capture and i should enjoy listening to the silence here if i weren't occupied already in snowball fight*. Gorgeous work! I'd just like to know more about your position and what those soldies are! vote!

Hah! Yes, they'd be the reserves, but they don't seem to eager to fight. Very otherworldly photo, thanks for bringing me sights I don't have the opportunity to go and see for myself!
