Superbe cet enchainement de plan successif par pallier croissant! Le regard s'駘钁e ... l'穃e aussi ? ;o) Les petits nuages accroch駸 aux montagnes apportent beaucoup � l'image.
Belle 騅asion ! Bravo Karina !

Marvellous shot, Cessy - beautiful gradation of blue-greens and wonderful lines of the receding mountains and the clouds. Subtle but simple - great work.

Very nice layering effect indeed, Cessy. The clouds rising in between almost look like smoke, and the gradual degradation of detail towards the horizon makes for a lovely graphical quality. Well done.
I'm taking a break and will be back in October.

Rockyboy (20598) 2005-08-01 17:20

The Grad ND...another thing that I need to buy!
Anyway, I like the differents layers here... It's another very good composition of your country!

kinginexile (2598) 2005-08-01 18:21

Hi, Karina, was a bit off the site lately, but I have just noticed you added more of your wonderful landscapes, always so pleasurable when they incite a sense of silent awe, as this one does.

singuanti (15250) 2005-08-01 23:01

Hi Cessy. Aren't those graduated ND filters great? I recently got one and have nothing but praise for it. It's incredible the way the mountains repeat each in it's own unique shade of blue. The composition and depth are both superb. Excellent shot Cessy!!

Really beautiful again. Nice POV! It is poetic in a certain way. I like the colours and the soft tones. Great capture!

Interesting format. It's a good thing you did this in this format as it could be just another one of those shots if yoy did it horizontally. Love the variations of blue.

dolin (7369) 2005-08-02 3:42

Hi Cessy.
Superbe compo, j'adore ces teintes bleut馥s et cette brume, qui donne une atmosph鑽e assez 騁range.
Le cadrage avec ces 2 pentes en 1er plan est bien vu et la PDC est tr鑚 bonne.
Les bancs de nuages donnent 馮alement une touche int駻essante.
Bien jou� !
Fred

ChrisJ (171252) 2005-08-02 3:49

Hi cessy

Wow! I have to go there! I like the aerial perspective, & diminishing tones. Bagus sekali!

athos99 (6894) 2005-08-02 4:34

Salut Cessy
Ce paysage est de tout beaut�.
J誕dore cette couleur bleue avec toutes ces nuances.
La forme des montagnes combin馥s avec celle des nuages font une tr鑚 belle composition.

Hi Cessy,
Very good portrait format here and an impressive depth provided by the successive ranges, the tonal nuances are subtle and contribute nicely to the depth, I like the view !
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

john_c (24666) 2005-08-02 13:15

Hi Cessy,
What an impressive shot! I like the varying folds of mountains portrayed in misty ethereal light here. The unusual wisps of cloud enhance and the foreground darker mountains add an effective contrast. Both your POV and DOF are excellent. A very pleasing shot well suited to the portrait format. I like this one very much, Cessy.

Hi Cessy,
I see you made a trip to Indonesia... reminds me of my trip last year! I like these different levels of blue and the way the clouds just hang on to the mountain tops.
Regards, Brigitte

Fantastic! I really like the shades of colour as the mountains go off into the distance. Very simple but beautiful. Thanks for the note about the Grad ND filter too.

Great shot!

jstewart (1150) 2005-09-04 2:24

This is amazing. Lovely, lovely shot. Great monochromatic blues, and great rhythmic shapes. One little suggestion - clone out that tower on one of the hills in the middle distance.
