Overall

Vision

Originality

Technique

Impact


Well, I have no clue about photography and manipulation, therefore I'll just go with my eye and knowledge from my drafting/drawing skills.
Vision: That's one of the things that immediately caught my eye. The fact that you managed to capture the crowns as well as the path in one of those trees closest makes a huge difference and makes the shot special for me, the hight of the shot and having both those elements in it, captures the scenery truly well. The horizon also is at the right place, making the whole thing come to live even within it's frozen-ness.
Originality: Well, the motive itself might not be the most original seen, but the way you played with colours definitely a great thing. I always find photography hard to judge concerned originality, to be honest.
Technique and Impact: I like how the almost monochrome appearance of the lower half of the picture gets broken up by, soft, to very bright blue. It makes the appearance somewhat unreal and magical to me. It also brings out the almost ice-crystal like appearance of the leafs.
At first I thought you used a filter to get that painted look on those leafs, I'm not sure, the branches and trunks, as well as the grass look too detailed and realistic for that. I like the effect though, It all gives it such a magical look. Also, what I like especially is that even though the light isn't flooding the picture but rather illuminating it, if that is understandable. It gives it depth and variety.
Together with the vision I think the impact is very intense and captures the fragile nature of frost, as well as the quiet strength of the trees.
So yeah, besides that I really like the motive, frost and kuja(learned that new worde.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>) I think you did very well with that pic. While I broke up my thoughts into themes of Vision, Technique and so on, please think of them as interconnected.
Thank you for sharing this! Kiitos Paljon

Thank you!
My first title option was path something but I have done so many pieces with similar title I thought something else. As this is not a real path I thought about alley and instead using English name (for some reason I associate alley with something between houses) but I didn't want to use that and so I settled for Finnish version.

This is done without filter, I had an old camera that is converted to infrared photography. Well, there's a filter inside my camera that has removed and in it's place there's now 720nm (no idea what nm means?) IR filter. It functions like any normal DSRL but I can only capture IR pictures with it.

I am bit pleased with this, although it has that softness and out of focus that all infrared pictures have, but I am sure that's one aspect to that magical feeling.

You're welcome! Oleppa hyvΓ€!Β

Wow! I'm speechless. This is so so gorgeous. Especially the top of the image, I like how it "sparkles". I thought this was fantasy digital painting, wow. I'm in love with this image ^_^

Thank you! I am hoping that I can top this in the future. I am glad you like about those sparkles, some of my IR pictures aren't that good in my own opinion - they look "softer" than normal photographs. So maybe I'll start to look them as digital paintings from now on.

The Infrared gives an extra dimension.

You're very welcome. I'm sure you know this already, but there are many video's on Youtube with tips to crop and resize.

But nonetheless I like this effect too.

Well, there's always new tricks to learn.

What I meant but didn't of course say is that Photoshops panorama tool didn't stack photos like it's supposed to do. Here's how the wider panorama looks like:




I assume that the reason for this oddity is that there's not enough frames for top of the picture.Β Β

You're right, those parts where trees abruptly cut made me think some kind of picture where they would cut and blend with clouds. But for that I would need different tree pictures.

That will always be the problem with panoramic photos, I've got the same experience with it. You will have to take shots far over the picture you finally want, so you can cut out a lot and still have what you need. I think it's a fantastic shot anyway!!!Β

AneurysmGuy In reply to swissnaturelover [2017-07-02 08:36:11 +0000 UTC]

I have done that too, but the problem is that I don't necessary remember to do it. One reason for disorder might be that this is vertical panorama or I tilted the camera and it's sensor too much. If I remember correctly you shouldn't move camera certain way when you are shooting panoramas, and yes, I don't remember how. Β
