*** This Week Through Your Eyes 2024.12.14 ***

A lovely colourful set, full of life !
Certainly lots going on in those streets :-)

Such old slushy snow, on days with cold moist air that blows in and makes you cold to your bones, and those treacherous icy patches give winter a bad name ;-)

It's a shot that definitely needs to be viewed in the full res mode to come to life.
Dark, but still full of lights !

A lovely moody shot, the detail in the moon is really good and the halo effect is cool!

I like this one best. Photography can be a dangerous game :-)
The image would also look good with a big crop showing just a bit more than the bottom half that highlights all those interesting roots and their reflections

lovely colours indeed :-)

A nice set !

This one of the bridge is impressive! Nicely composed and well lit

Thanks :-)

I hear you!
Maybe we will miss them in Austria too in the not so distant future :-(
People here, trying their best to promote protection for us people, as the climate gets warmer and warmer , have started a campaign called "Protect our winters". Austria is "the" winter sport country! It prospers and benefits from winter tourism. The snow here is fantastic but as the glaciers melt and each year the snow comes later and disappears quicker that will change for the worse :-(
Combatting global warming needs some serious action for a lot of good reasons!

I'm guessing you mean something like this?

I may have misunderstood what you were suggesting, as this doesn't really work for me, although ignoring the reflection entirely and just concentrating on the collapsing tree seems more satisfying to my eyes...

Then again, I could just go crazy and only include the reflection, but flip it, leave a bit of the shoreline in and have people scratching their heads about just what exactly they're looking at...

You're right, now that I've seen it, my suggested crop doesn't work as well as I thought it might :-(
I thought there was too much "going on" in the image near the top and the crop might help.
Maybe a crop like below could work where most of the sky and the upper trees are removed, so concentrating more on the interesting trunk and root system with a square format ?
The refection is interesting too and still there.
There must be loads of possibilities to play with such an image :-)
