Nothingness II ?, a photo from Aarhus, West

Photographer's Note

This was taken today at almost the exact same spot as my previous post "Nothingness", I've posted the previous one as a WS, because I don't know how to make a link, help!
Today the impression of this road was quite different than the other day, summer has finally found it's way to Denmark ;o)

PP, saturated colours and sharpened.

wow, colours are incredible (maybe a little bit too saturated, they were good enough I think and didn't need so much saturation ;))
and there is visible problem with compression - why don't you use all 200k that is available? Your picture is only 100k and there's visible loss of sharpness / overall quality
Please try doing something with it, because it's worth - this picture has potential (colours and composition)

DonQ (2625) 2004-07-17 9:21

It looks very nice, ... like allways when we have Danish landscape! :-) Great composition. And,... like a senqir says, i agree with his comment completely. I think you should already know that. ;-)
Hej, Don.

nice picture here, I like the colours very much, btu i would have prefered it to be a little bit sharper, but very nice work, well done

doreeneden (1022) 2004-07-17 10:02

Good picture and nice colours.

rdans59 (263) 2004-07-17 10:56

Very nice composition. Very well seen with the road just off-center. Lovely color combination, even though I think the yellows have been boosted up a bit too high.
Good work!

avigur_11 (22535) 2004-07-17 11:40

Both this version and the b/w version are incredible. I like this one very much. The endless road is bending through a sea of gold. Beautiful, Line.

RandomCameraGuy (3071) 2004-07-17 12:22

Amazing colours. Nice off centre composition. One thing though: Why not include either more sky or more land (in a 2/3 ratio)? As it is it's a little confused as to which is the prime subject.

carper (96) 2004-07-17 12:27

the composition is really great,
but the colours are to much over sharpen, and thats a shame,
but great lines in,Line

glopez (18) 2004-07-17 12:41

good colours and lighting, good work

MKING (3054) 2004-07-17 12:42

I think this one isn't as strong as your stormy version. It's pleasant but I think a bit static, the road isn't quite dramatic enough to give it that streak of dynamism. As Random mentioned a more ofset ratio of sky/land might add that missing "oomph". I don't know, maybe I'm just becoming more cynical and stubborn as I get older... :)

elroyie (2750) 2004-07-17 14:29

Very good frame with good colours and very neat composition, I liked the road to nowhere . . .
I think that you played to much with the colours, their contrast is too high.

Proxilva (2157) 2004-07-17 15:21

wow Line this one is very raw... SUPERDUPER!!!
it's somehow reminds me of a photo i saw somewhere, some time ago, but i still can't figur out where and when (:D very useless again, i know) but this is absolutly great!! the raw effect and the saturation is on the top and not over.... did i mentioned it was great?

yesterday (9833) 2004-07-17 16:04

Excellent compoced picture with great perspective, I like the photo, but shame you have over saturated the color in this one.

regards Kaj Nielsen

cmartos (242) 2004-07-17 16:42

Very nice one Line. A superb golden view, and a road to nowere. A strange green overcast in yellow/green transition and a slight lack of sharpness. But nothing bad here, it doesn't affect the effectivness of the composition. I like it very much.

manny (22032) 2004-07-18 2:07

LINE, this is a perfect photo. Excellent colors and the composition is very neat. IMHO, I would crop it tighter at the bottom to emphasize more clouds.

Jeppe (18654) 2004-07-18 3:16

Great to watch "Nothingness - revisited" ;-) - too bad you having problems making links :-(

Take a look a this 'course in making links' I made for Zanni (Gae)

Beautiful coulours and surely a great difference between those shots - guess its two for my theme - thanks Line :-)

jrj (34843) 2004-07-18 5:49

A very strong contrast and saturation, but effectful for this photo Line...

...So glad that the dark clouds took a break

;-)

Now this one is gorgeous landscape, AND some sun. This is also one of those pictures where you can paste one of those moody skies into! Try it and post on TL, or here, I am sure it will rock!

nwoehnl (122) 2004-07-18 9:31

Very striking effect, Line, that you again accomplished with a simple but well thought-out compo, and a very distinctive color setting. The saturation certainly is at the upper limit and I guess there is some reason behind the previous comments made regarding compression. But still very good and like Jack said it's quite nice to have one without those menacing clouds for a change ;-)

RGatward (20108) 2004-07-19 3:22

This is really quite funny in the context of the other one, the samPoV, which couldn't be more different, and the title now really should have a question mark. Great idea and shot.

cgrindahl (6113) 2004-07-19 3:44

Wow, what a contrast. This is a fine capture Line. So the sun does on occasion shine in Denmark in the summer... ;-)

The image appears a bit too saturated and the sky has quite a bit of noise but the composition is fine and the overall experience, for me at least, is delight. I'll drive this road any day. I like what you've given us Line.

avis2avis (4264) 2004-07-19 4:00

How did you manage to get such yummy colors!? And I compared this with the other version... what a contrast!! Two of the most stunning landscape shots I have seen on TE so far! Wish I could give you 4 points (2 for this and 2 for the WS version). Well done.

Michael_Gan (2776) 2004-07-19 7:34

What an impact you make with these colours! It almost looks like a modern painting with primary colours. Beautiful landscape and good post-processing.

kaychambers (1198) 2004-07-19 11:16

Outstanding imagery. The yellows and greens do it for me!

Well done!

Impecable composicion Line.
La claridad conceptual que muestra tu imagen y el (aunque un poco saturados), la convierten en una excelente photo.

Impeccable composition Line.
The conceptual clarity that shows to your image and the colorful (although a little saturated), convert it an excellent job.

jhonny_blue (4956) 2004-07-20 4:11

Wow ! The fantastic road to the colours !

ChrisJ (171146) 2004-07-21 3:32

Wonderful landscape with good compo, pov, perspective & color saturation.

Hanssie (11022) 2004-07-23 13:48

"strange" colours, but beautiful done, very nice composition !

elihesamian (26149) 2004-07-25 12:12

light (865) 2004-08-06 14:21

What a spectacle of color and deep. Really beautiful composition. Blue and yellow are amazing, you have and interesting visual eye! Well done!

jafadabret (56501) 2005-03-27 12:56

La simplicité et la clarté de la photo en font un excellent cliché. Tout est parfaitement en place et les couleurs ajoutent à la beauté de l'ensemble.

iGirl (1223) 2006-01-21 5:39

I like the saturation; it makes the photo very interesting. Reminds me of a scene I saw on a CD cover once.

postvikram (1199) 2006-04-07 4:50

Hello Line,

I was browsing thru your gallery and I instantly liked this very much.Very good composition and colors.

Though I see a bit of quality loss, maybe because of sharpness.The saturation level boosts the overall appearance of the pic.Very nicely done and Thanks for sharing - Vikram
