The New Hope

Quote to think of : I like to watch the person viewing my photographs to see if their eyes twinkle or cloud with tears. Does the smile sneek out when they were not exspecting it to. Then I know I have captured emotion that can be shared. -Marsha Cairo

Song of inspiration : Johnny Cash - Hurt

For technical questions : As the one before this is not a HDR, it is processed from one RAW-file. This image made me love RAW again ;)

Personal message : I am very thankful for all the comments I recieved on my recent images.

I want to take the opportunity again to thank:

- every visitor (you make me proud)
- every commentor (you move my heart)
- and everyone who takes on of my shots as fav (you make me smile).

To take full advantage of Flickr, you should use a JavaScript-enabled browser and
install the latest version of the Macromedia Flash Player.

Ein wunderschönes Foto, wieder.
Trotzdem muss ich bei den grünen Hügeln, bilderbuchmäßig fotografiert, immer an Teletubbies denken, dabei habe ich das nur einmal gesehen. Muss mich sehr beeindruckt haben.

Der Zorrozacken im Feld und der Baum bringen's voll!

Martin, another amazing photo. A smile did sneak out when I saw this shot. Fantastic. Out of curiosity (and to learn from you), did you use a filter for this (polarizer or ND)?

Fantastische Bearbeitung, da gibt's nichts zu meckern ;-)

Rein Bildaufbau-technisch hätte ich mir gewünscht, dass die beiden Wege sich links kreuzen. Aber wie meistens steht dann da ein Schild oder sowas rum, und das macht alles kaputt, was...?
