I like this even more than the other post. The color range is so unusual going from warm to cold tones and the details are awesome. And the blured water near the sharp trees, just great. I love it!

monjo  01/22/07 @974

Another beautiful piece Patrick. Great composition and the colors are wonderful John

So You found a way to get to the world described in fairy tales? . Beautiful. +5/5

it's beautiful the ice surface has such a bizzare texutre color to it, I suppose it's dangerous to go out on the ice because it wouldn't freeze thick enough would it? but you imagine taking a toboggan to that. Wow! beautiful capture great senese of discovery and imagination.

Beautiful lighting and choice of shutter speed. A lovely scene!

One of your very best, Patrick. +10 and to my favs!

loneorbit  01/23/07 @080

Lighting is quite good, especially on trees where can followed up river and further into this scene. Mix of snow covered trees and those with basically none provides an interesting texture, instead of just snow covered. Great photo.

workster  01/23/07 @104

Beautiful scene, great capture.

dogg57  01/23/07 @139

dakoo  01/23/07 @167

Mihai put it perfectly !! The warm & cold tones together with sharp treees & soft water...!!! Nice use of those ND fitlers.. The composition has nice lead lines of the river .. makes for a beautiful photo all through.. Top Marks Pat !!!

Just beautiful.The light is amazing +10

natnai  01/23/07 @599

Very nice. I think perhaps you went a bit too far with the filters there such that it became a tad bit unnatural, but yes compositionally very nice.

Madanapale  01/23/07 @654

Beautiful!!.....wonderful whites and details on the trees! Lovely work!!!....well done my friend!!...top marks! Carlos

ogu  01/23/07 @718

Cool I like the colors ...

Wallace  01/23/07 @737

Awesome shot Patrick! It looks, surreal, haunting and beautiful at the same time The warm color change on top part of the trees is the icing on the cake. + 10! One of your best

Traff  01/23/07 @801

The contrasts work well here – the grey silky movement of the water and the bright crispness of the trees. The snow looks like it’s been sketched in and makes a great foreground – and I like the dark colour of the trees in the distance – gives the image a strong feeling of depth and perspective. I might consider cropping a little from the top (?) I just feel the blue is a little too strong in the compo and pulls away from the wintry colours below, but you may consider that cramps the landscape too much and I know I have a tendency to ‘over-tighten’ images (gotta learn to loosen up!).

Tommyguns  01/23/07 @867

Beautiful work Pat! Top notch! +10 Tell me more of these filters in a PM please! Thanks. Tommyguns

ViolentContact  01/23/07 @875

wow... this is just perfect! really beautiful colours and great details do you have a wallpaper version of this? Top marks of course

cnell  01/23/07 @963

yesss! this is wonderful Patrick! Sorry I missed this yesterday. not one nit from me. the exposure is right-on, the water looks fantastic! don't change a thing! claudia

MeAndMyCam  01/24/07 @074

Mm... man, I miss some action in your shot. I agree that the first impression is IR, and that's awesome. I have been more "flabbergasted" by other work from you though. Nevertheless I think you are "DA KING OF GFX"!!!! You are one of the best! (I guess I became kinda independant when it comes to commenting, since I paused my postings ) 8+

zanzibar  01/24/07 @272

lovely light and composition

vanamont  01/24/07 @733

Great colors and a difficult shot Patrick...much have been a great day without wind, unusual for Sweden at that time of the year...well done

Marrit  01/24/07 @879

Wow beautiful shot, I like the moving water the most....very unreal. Well done, top marks!

Azurite  01/24/07 @960

That's real winter beauty in all its glory. The composition is great apart from that one ark treetop in the middle of the white ones. I'd consider cloning that one away. Also, there are some distortions around the treetops due to oversharpening. This can be solved by placing the sharpened image on a layer on top of the original and erasing the unwanted parts. I'd like to go up to the northern parts of Sweden sometime to get shots like this.

nelman  01/25/07 @185

I'd love to be in a location such as this! Awe-inspiring!

ZedoCaixao  01/25/07 @206

Indeed a beautiful capture. Great composition, sharpness, contrasts and really nice exposure.

MsMichelleLynn  01/26/07 @440

Very nice!

audentia  01/26/07 @589

That is SO BEAUTIFUL! One of the best IR captures I've seen!

moserArtist  01/26/07 @592

@audentia: Thanks a lot but as already stated in my description ... This is NOT IR.... The effect comes mainly from the usage of Cokin filters for the sky and a very special light condition I guess...

audentia  01/26/07 @601

Haha I always read the descriptions. Ehm. Sorry bout that. Well then I must say it's even better!

Lenn0  01/26/07 @864

awesome surreal feeling!!! I love the water here! colors and composition are great to. A river, Ice/snow, calm situations and experimental technics - your the pro on this kind of photos top marks!!

killadore  01/27/07 @960

it's quite difficult to add anything to the list of comments here, lol, so i'll just express my admiration and buzz off. it really is a great photo.. +10

ohce  01/28/07 @287

I really thought it was a IR photo when i look at the thumbnail. What kind of filter you have used in this image? I really love the color .

moserArtist  01/28/07 @417

@Ohce: I used Cokin filters: ND2 and ND4 (grey). I used it in order to not burn the details of the sky and the tree tops when using a longer exposure time.

Daykan  01/28/07 @818

wow!! this is really beautiful!! wonderful place, and amazing capture! Great work!

oldskool87  01/28/07 @822

No surprise that this is now one of your highest rated photos! Simply outstanding. Great shot, Patrick! Love the lighting--and everything else about it!

Very Breathtaking!!!! 10 points

Excorbac  04/25/07 @006

My really favourite from you, Patrick (but I did not see all of your contributions to GFX). The movements of water with the long time exposure are quite disturbing to me. I would have freeze () the movement with a short pose, but I guess this is only a matter of taste. +8/8

Rado-Vleugel  04/25/07 @439

Beautiful, I also like the long exposure of the flowing water.

j4m3sb0nd  05/02/07 @550

Great work! I enjoyed it.

orafaergirl  05/08/07 @605

This is so gorgeous, the softness of the water really work well with the complexity of the trees

androx3k  11/07/07 @679

wonderful again

sollerkvist  11/14/07 @661

This photo is absolutely fantastic! I love the technique which makes it look more like a painting rather than a photo and still preserve the atmosphere and small details.

armilar  11/22/07 @644

This photo is simply magical!! And really inspiring! Incredible shot, I adore how everything looks so sharp and detailed yet the water contrast due to the long exposure time! The water almost seams unreal which I find fantastic! And the colours are so beautifull! The red/orange tones are really impressive and make a cold picture look warm! Incredible! 9/9

wizera  11/23/07 @466

This one is amazing. The effect from the water is really smooth, looks just like the river froze in seconds.

LiddleLarsen  01/13/08 @021

Took me a while to get all the way down here Really like the mood..... Lots of great details.... Just wondering a little bit about the top bit of the trees as they look a bit "pinkish" on my monitor? Is this the light from the sun?

Varutasu  01/14/08 @364

Very beautiful capture. Love the water most of all. Adds a sense of calm to the scene. Though with the harsh shifts in light and dark from the trees, I would of liked to of seen a version with harsher waters. It looks fake and edited in in my opinion. Sent you a PM as well. Always a fan, Randall

moserArtist  01/15/08 @552

@LiddleLarsen: Answer to your question: Yes it is the light from the sun and with the addition of neutral gray filter to preserve the details and not loose details from burning when using the long exposure (which is seen with the smooth water).

simonsun  03/04/08 @019

what a great picture!

nazgulled  04/01/08 @729

I just love the feeling I have looking at that shot, very very nice!
