Sorry Hasso - I don't know how I missed your last couple of weeks' photos!

With your week 5 photo, I think I would have liked to have seen a larger version in light box as I think I'm missing out on some of the detail that you've captured. The smaller version doesn't quite pull me in as it stands.

Your week 6 photo looks great. I'm not sure what it is - a macro of a snowflake? (I've not had much to do with snow). Either way, great detail and if it is a snowflake, an interesting play on the warm light versus the cold subject. There's a little bit of detail peeking out of the top left corner but that's a minor point I think.

Your week 7 capture looks fantastic. The way the rays of light cut through the fog add a very dramatic impact to the scene. I wish I could create landscape photos like that

It's about 2x3cm object. This kind of ice/snow structure needs cold. If there is only like -15C(5F), then it's too "warm" for that. In -25C(-13F) You can find these. But in this condition You have to watch after camera and lens too.

To my eye, you can't do anything to make this more perfect. Good capture!

These ice crystals are just amazing. But I must say that I'm glad it never gets that cold where I live. You can always shed clothing, but when it's cold, you never can put enough on

Hi Hasso, Great lighting and the colours are fantastic, I like the way the light cuts through the fog, Great Capture

Great composition - a very nice and tranquil setting. Colour wise I'm finding that the blues, particularly on the bottom left, are just a bit too dominating. I have a feeling that it's just personal preference though.

[johnbharle]

I like this very much. The colors remind me of rococco (sp?) art. Just need to paste in a few cherubs :-)

Hi HaSSo, you have a very nice project going here. Not a bad shot in the lot. I like the abstract feel and colour of the ice photos. Week 7 with the light shining through the fog and the trees is the type of shot I'd die for - just beautiful.
"Tranquil" is another beauty, and although the colours do look a bit different to me (not what I'm used to seeing around here) I like it more for that very reason.
Nice job on the Nuthatch in Week 9. I have some in my backyard, they are quite small and don't want to sit still for very long. I'd be very happy for a shot like this

All in all Great Work. I came in late on your project, but I'll be looking forward to seeing more

A difficult challenge and very well accomplished. Looking at it blown up to quite a large size, all the detail on the feathers is excellent.

Thak You Wendy. Actually I was hunting white-throated dipper, but today wasn't...this day. Nuthatch came suddenly to my view, when I was moving with all staff with. In the middle of the forest on the moraine ice all over. Behind of me is a river, but 20m lower...possible to fall free. If You see chance then You have to take picture.

Another great photo Hasso. Very sharp with great detail

[Wendy Stanford]

Great capture Hasso,good composition,the tree and the branch frame the bird, no background distractions, nice and sharp

A really nice set of images, Hasso! Number 10 with the rows of water drops is particularly well done!

[johnbharle]

I really like the droplets myself. Was this taken with telephoto?

Yes it is taken with tele(Pentax DA* 300mm f/4) and heavily cropped.

It looks great Hasso - well done!
