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

I have tried similar shots but had not much success, you managed to keep both moon and trees in reasonable focus, that what seems to fail for me most of the time.
I almost can hear howl of wolf or hoot of owl.

Love this shot, tree nicely framed with branches from other trees.

Yeah, I tried back home to crop it but it didn't seem to work, I should have framed it better when I took the shot. But for my defense I can say that by that time when I took that shot I was hammered 5 hours with most extreme rock music such as goregrind and black metal, so I was quite exhausted. On Saturday it was repeated, this time for 6 hours, so today I'm trying recovery mode :D But I tried to be more operative for this fest event and took my laptop with me, so between bands I uploaded shots to computer, selected handful, made basic processing and put them out to facebook. All I learned is that it's hard to compete with cell phones on publishing speed front nowadays, if I ever want to do it again I need to hire assistant...

Nice PP. It's become a dark and dramatic image, with the huge buildings towering above that little bike.

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 :-)
