Hi again,

Sorry if i've spent less time here on TN lately...been busy with school.
This weekend i'm going to the mountains again and i hope to catch some beautiful views and good sceneries to show you when i come back. Some fiends and i are visiting a place where i've never been before so...i'm keeping my fingers crossed :)

This is another shot from this spring, taken in the Apuseni Natural Park. It's from the same morning with my misty panorama and forest shots, but this here is looking west, just as the clouds were starting to be lit by the rising sun.

Hope you'll like it and thanks for visiting.
For more shots, feel free to check my website.

Hi Horia,

This is really lovely! You have a great eye for composition even when the scene seems to break some rules.... the centered bush... the half and half division of the frame....AND IT WORKS! I love what you are able to do with slow shutters. It would never have occurred to me to use one here.

Have fun this weekend.

Great photos, beautiful landscape!!!

Hi Horia,

The feeling of depth you've created by sharp focus and bright colors in the foregound fading to the softer, hazier distance really works! Nice job!

I wonder what it might be like if it had been done in horizontal format with a bit less of the darkest sky above? I guess we can only know in our imaginations! :)

Whats this, a horizon along the centre of the image?? You're break some rules here my friend ;o)
Seriously though, i actually think it works very well. I can see you must have been torn between showing foreground and sky, so chose both perhaps?!
Superb composition, the depth is incredible and shows the miles and interesting details that lie ahead of you here. Beautiful subtle light and colour too, well done mate.

Hi Horia,
This is a real beauty. I love the almost dreamlike feel to the photo. As if I stepped into a story from the brothers Grimm. The young tree in the FG with the bright grey rocks make for a great eye catcher. The ground fog inbetween the trees contrast nicely with the warmer toned clouds.
TFS,
Niek

Beautiful scenery Horia. I love the perspective. The clouds help fill the sky well. The glow of the fog and the bush in the foreground compliment each other well and bring the picture together. Well framed and well taken! TFS Trevor
