Hallo, Stanisa, thanks for your comments on my recent posts.
I've been having another browse through your portfolio, and I do like this one. It's a good example of the importance of really looking at things. One is used to the idea that foliage can be very varied in colour, but this is satisfying for capturing the variation in bark textures and colours. Well seen.

What a great shot! Really well seen. Very pleasing, especially because it takes a while to work out how the effect is acheived, though it's obvious what one is looking at. Lovely textures, colours and lighting.

This is my favourite of your Hong Kong pics, because there's only one 'boat' element, well placed in the compostion. The exposure is perfect, giving a gloomy feel, with the neon lights cutting through in a surreal manner.

Good shot! What animal is this, please? And, how did you get so close. One expects wildlife photographers to be using 500mm lenses, rather than 50mm!

Very effective, creates a mellow, peaceful mood. The contrail in the sky nicely echoes the curve of the main reed, unifying the two main zones.

With this shot, you've acheived with a seascape, what Jeanette does with her townscapes! Just perfect.
Some of the details are delightful, too: the small stones, the pebbles below the water, the curve upwards of the base of the cloud to the right, 'reflecting' the curve of the spit of land.
Don't agree with Saeed re the composition, seems to me the equal top/bottom essential to the concept, and the stone being slightly off-centre left is visually interesting enough, and makes both sides of the pic seem in proportion to the 'weight' of the spit of land on which it sits.

Those clouds seem to really press down on to the objects below, adding to the 'industrial' feel. Very atmospheric.

A moment of meteorological drama, well captured in a dramatic shot. The contrasty colours, dark sky, strong vertical trunks and horizontal shadows v. deciduous filigree, all add to the effect. And you kept your knees dry for once!

Another classic landscape, Tim! I disagree completely with Michael's comment about polarisers. I've always found them difficult to use around water; you're not going to get much darkening effect in the sky with the light coming from that angle, and suppressing reflections in the water will make it look completely lifeless (as I suspect you know!). Only useful if you want to see the fish (or your knees!)

How can you be bored, Jeanette? Two of the great experiences for me so far on Usefilm have been your pics of Uppsala, and Tim Schumm's of Hornby Island, worlds so different from the subtle, gentle shapes and colours round about where I live. Mind you, the snow tends to look similar!

I find your work immensely satisfying, Jeanette. I love the way you explore things, revealing different aspects of it, all compelling images in their own right. This is a favourite, so simple, so hard to see if you're not looking!

A fine shot, the decision to shoot from straight on and place the 'tower' centrally works well. The sloping light, and different windows, and the chimney stack, give it a pleasing counterbalancing asymmetry.

This is a most impressive shot, fantastic lighting and detail. Very dramatic. You must have worked hard at the time to capture it all. Wouldn't have suspected it was stitched from multiple images if you hadn't said so!
I'd agree with Michele that if you were making a print to enter into a competition, you'd be wise to remove the pole, it'd be marked own 'cos of that. I say that with great sadness, since I'm a 'real landscape' afficionado, and don't altogether approve of in-PC work! Except stunning panorama-stitching, of course ;-)

It's hard to believe this is real. As Gervais says, it's like a lithographic print.
Agree with others, a slight crop of left hand side improves it, but otherwise I like the composition as is. There's something about the dead centre shoreline that enhances the 'as seen in the mind's eye' feel of it.

As Phil McLean has commented on another of your pics, you are a wizard at conjuring infinitely varied and satisfying images out of the same elements, using different viewpoints, times and so on. This one particularly appealed to me (I like the touches of light on the stones), but the whole portfolio is wonderful.
I hope you get royalties from the local Tourist Authority!
