Dag bijna-buurman, nu heb ik eindelijk even tijd om te reageren op je vriendelijke commentaren! Ik heb je portfolio bekeken en ervan genoten, echt leuk die jaren 70 foto's en zo herkenbaar :) Op je Ierlandfoto ben ik gewoon jaloers!! Ik wil proberen om er volgend jaar heen te gaan is al heel lang een wens van me, lijkt me een prachtig land om de mooiste foto's te kunnen schieten!! Fijne dag nog!! Groeten Yvonne

vu@granby - Wolfgang from Canada
Beautiful snowflowers, but looks like wet, sticky snow, the kind that makes you feel miserable.....
27 Nov 2008 4:19pm
@vu@granby - Wolfgang: It's very fresh, it is snowing at that moment, but indeed it is wet snow. So I got very wet too. Dank voor je commentaar.

Nilla from Continent: Europe, Sweden
It´s fantastic that the flowers can hold the snow up! Nice pict!
27 Nov 2008 6:08pm
@Nilla: In fact, there are no real flowers, only leaves. With the snow it looks like.
Thanks for comment and visit. Bye.
@Veronelle: Merci beaucoup. Au revoir.
Pixim from Nice, France
Just a little more contrast, and this marine magnificent world is exceptional, oops, I had the impression to see white fishes floated in a sea of snow ;)
27 Nov 2008 7:05pm
@Pixim: I tried different grades of contrast and lightness, but lost the grays in the snowflowers and didn't like that. And I found it too far to paint in PS.
You're right the title could have been "fishes in the snowsea" or somethong like that.
Nevertheless, thanks for your advice and see you again.
@Ana Lúcia: Thanks for comment and visit.

Zorilla from H, T & E, United Kingdom
The flower on the top right looks like a fish
27 Nov 2008 9:07pm

Marhilde from Geraardsbergen, Belgium
Sneeuw fotograferen is niet het gemakkelijkste. Jij bent erin geslaagd !
27 Nov 2008 10:01pm
@Marhilde: Dank je wel voor het compliment.
Inderdaad vind ik het moeilijk. Vooral het "ontwikkelen", wat ik doe vnl. in Adobe Lightroom:
Net iets meer contrast, dan bleken de sneeuvlakken uit. Net iets minder dan worden ze grijs.
Ik ben blij als het geslaagd is.
Tot ziens.
Mike from Sheffield, United Kingdom
