Another shot taken in Duivenvoorde castle park. I was attracted by the contrast between the "two worlds"...

What a great title...
Goes perfectly well with the photo.
Great light and colors.
Well done!

Nice work, the contrast is very interesting. The composition is very nice, the cows all seem held into the frame very well. You exposed it well, also, allowing for the rich colors of the sky reflection and the grass while holding some detail into the cows.

Thanks!

Hoi Alexander,

Natuurlijk de lage zon en de koeien maken deze foto zo aantrekkelijk, maar de weerspiegeling van de wolken in de rivier zijn natuurlijk de blikvangers op de foto, zoals u het zelf aangeeft, mooi contrast tussen twee werelden.
Goed gedaan!

Prettig weekend,
John

Hi Alexander,
That's a nice picture! The sky at the bottom is good, too, sometimes! ;o)

Cheers, Léonie

Hello Alexander,
I like how the shot is split horizontally between water and land. Nice colours, nice light. Very well composed. Chris

A lovely way of turning the world around. A bit dark in the upper part but on the other hand the backlight gives a nice shine too it.

As you are so much into cows I think you need to see this site: http://www.bregott.nu/

Follow the link on the second picture in the row in the middle of the pages and you will find TV-commercials and photos that are quite like yours. Isn´t it good to have people to share your interest with out there ;o)

Hi, Alexander! Great colours and composition here, i like this sky "under" the earth, green sunny grass and tone of clouds.
Really nice shot!

Hi Alexander,
excellent how you divided the picture.
Superb sky reflection and vivid green.
The cows are well placed, all in the same posture.
This grass is good I think :)
Good graphical impact... I like it

Hi Alexander!
Very original picture!
Great contrast between blue of the water and green of the grass!
Great capture!
Excellent!
Best wishes,

Hi Aleksander. Funny title. So these are heavenly pastures. I had always wondered if there was a heaven for such docile creatures. Now I know. Lovely light and strong colours. Clever composition with the subtle diagonal dividing the two worlds. Regards. Klaudio.

jinju (14265) 2006-11-26 1:01

Hi Alexander,

the colors here are fantastic, especially the green grass. Thats some great light youve got there and the grass simply sparkles beautifully. The reflection is good too and probably most people will like that but for me its the green color that drew me in to this one.

Gerrit (36191) 2006-11-26 4:26

Hi Alexander,
good POV that shows in the reflection just the sky. It divides the picture perfectlty. Great colours and light.
Regards, Gerrit

ChrisJ (70443) 2006-11-26 5:24

Hi Alexander

Wondeful reflections of the blue grey sky & superb repetition of the cows. Tfs!

feather (50078) 2006-11-26 6:02

Excellent idea for your composition. Instead of the sky at the top we have it in the refelection instead. It works really well and makes us look twice at what would be a fairly normal scene.
Good work.
Kath

Hi Alexander, i like a lot how you divided the shot here, the colours are beautiful and also your idea and comopsition!
so original to have the sky under the animals!!!
Original work!!!
I like a lot!
ciao!

Hello Alexander
Very nice back lights on the cattle who gives wonderfull greens.
The foreground is also appreciable.
Well done.
Cheers.

john_c (24635) 2006-11-26 14:02

Hi Alexander,
Indeed, the contrast is amazing, and the reflections of the dream like clouds and sky impressive. I like the way in which you have divided the frame here. Your tasteful framing and cropping creates high impact with the sky amply seen in the water as opposed to the top of the frame. Very fine work, Alexander. Have a good week.
John

Hi,
Very original pic, and very clever idea to put the sky in the bottom of the pic ! ;-)
I like that... And the same for colors and exposure, very pleasant.
Good job,
JB.

barrufeto_77 (25931) 2006-11-26 15:03

Hi Alexander.

An image that brings to my head calm and peace. The view is really charmfull.

The colours, the compo with the cows...all perfect.

My comliments.

Budapestman (42726) 2006-11-26 19:25

Hi Alexander!
This is a very good observation and playful impression! Its an expressive POV and impressive composition. This is a superb idea and successful realization. Effective and spectacular shot!
Thank you, nice days

jrj (34779) 2006-11-27 4:00

hi alexander
Good use of the sky reflected in the water surface. Combined with the cows and the light in the grass an effectful and interesting compo

ben4321 (9807) 2006-11-27 4:04

This is absolutely fantastic Alexander, one of your best in my humble opinion.
It's like the whole world has been turned upside down, well everything except those cows anyway. Or were they all lying on their backs with their legs in the air?
It's an imaginative composition, and it's made all the better by the great light.
Excellent.
Cheers,
Ben

macondo (13265) 2006-11-27 7:22

Either the good cows have gone to heaven, or we have here good evidence for a flat earth, floating like a disk in the cosmos. Clever shot and title, Alexander. Lovely light falling on the grass and cows. What more can one say?
Regards,
Andrew

pablominto (41288) 2006-11-27 13:06

Hello Alexander,
The afternoon lighting does wonders for this fin scenery!
Beautiful green meadows, the sidelit cows come through very nicely...
Reflected sky of course adds to the pleasant atmosphere!
Greetings,

Божьи коровки :-),- точно окажутся в раю :-)
Действительно, интересный контраст, Саша! И обедающие коровы, расположившиеся полукругом изумительны! Очень получился сочным цвет травы. Замечательно :-)

Rosa_d_MonteLua (1504) 2006-11-28 2:38

Hi Alexander!
Unbelievable contrast between the green grass and the magnificent clouds reflected image on the water surface! The duo-tone grass provided by the sun refletion, gives a pleasant view. Well-defined focus and fine sharpness.
Its Heaven, in fact but for our eyes!
TFS and my best regards
Rosa

rosaline (0) 2006-11-28 3:55

Hi Alexander
This is an unusual composition, one normally expects the sky above. But the creative capture of the sky's reflection adds a touch of originality to the picture. Nice soft light on the cows and fields and good sharpness. Good work.
Aubrey

AiresSantos (42782) 2006-11-28 5:47

Hi Alexander,
Magnificent light and colours in this lovely composition. I like this environment with the cows. It remembers me parents farm
Excellent reflections on the water.
TFS and greetings,

Luan (15935) 2006-11-28 8:37

Hello Alexander,
what a great light, the same direction than the cows ;o) Excellent compo, perfectly balanced.
Nice one

pastadog (12821) 2006-11-28 11:55

Very creative compo, Alex, and the light is superb, and definitely enhanced by your appropriate title, cheers :) Daniel

Bonsoir Alexander,
On dirait que la prairie flotte sur l'eau et les nuages.
Une bonne composition.

designsoul (21394) 2006-11-28 13:15

Privet, Alexander!
What grabs me here are several things: the pattern of the sky in the reflection is like a cow's skin ;-), the cows are like synchronized swimmers eating on the field, and the burst of colours that you captured. A very nice and original shot, with these two worlds contrasted. Creative work!

Hi Alexander.
The thumbnail looks amazing. But the real photo is... is very nice too.
In some way I think that is not necessary say why. The composition and the light make this moment unique.
Very enjoyable.

Regards.

ktanska (16695) 2006-11-29 8:41

Hi Alexander,
On this one you really have got the best out of ordinary scene. Low light is great. Original framing, strong diagonal division. And superb title.

Hi Alexander,
A very well conceived shot with an apt title. With the fantastic colours, I would say Earth looks more attractive to me than heaven :)

Elaine_Blath (6170) 2006-11-30 2:03

Hey Aleksi,

do you know the series called Red Dwarf? There is one scene there which this picture (or better to say its title) brought into my mind...
"No silicon Heaven? Where would all the calculators go?"
"They will simply die."
"Die? Preposterous...."
Nice shot Aleksi!

Take care, Ivana

capthaddock (28640) 2006-11-30 8:01

Hi Alex - brilliant work, one of the most original I've seen in the last few days

Polonaise (5638) 2006-12-09 12:07

How you can look at this picture and be able not to gently smile upon it.
What a beautifully composed scene.
The light behind. And the greenery's succulent and juicy. And the water is deep. As deep as the skies above...ehrrrr..below. (:-)))
This picture is one of those, you run into it, smile and relax a bit, run away after your business, and then...Come back, relax, run....!!!!
Thanks Sasha. You've made my day smiling again.

balatrek (7419) 2006-12-23 12:43

Hi Alexander,

Good idea to divide the composition in two halves, I like the contrast between the water and the grass, it is an image with very pleasant textures and a well balanced light, fantastic reflection in the water, good work!

Regards and Merry Christmas
