Long time no post at BPN (and anywhere) but it is time to share something of the newly processed old files.
Taken at a lovely North Sea coast in Germany with Jan. :)

[Kaustubh Deshpande]

Beautiful !! The low angle, catchlight, eye contact....everything is superb. loved the texture of the waer surface and how that blends into the BG.

[Kristin Brown]

Gorgeous! What's not to like? Lovely subject with nice low angle and perfect water. I particularly like the muddy feet!

[Joe Senzatimore]

Outstanding image. The low angle makes it happen.

[john jackson]

Sometimes it's the little details that make an image, and I love that thin line to the feet. Glad you kept the blobs of Helgoland mud to keep the environment in the picture (others may wish for them to go).

[Nagesh Mula]

Thats simply beautiful. low angle, calm BKGR and very good light. Congrats Gyorgy!!

[Aidan Briggs]

Lovely low angle, perfect exposure, and nice BG. The blobs don't bug me much except for the large one that with the thin line near the feet.

Well done!

[Julie Kenward]

Aidian I was thinking the same thing...don't mind most of them - just the one that intersects that rising foot. The water and lighting are beautiful Gyorgy!

[Rohan Kamath]

loved the low angle here and the water...

-Cheers,
Rohan

Killer angle and exposure, I like the way you have the water line perfectly straight, personally I would have removed the blobs, but can see leaving them in too. Very nice shot.

[Stu Bowie]

I like the light quality in this, and overall, pin sharp and well exposed. The low angle works well, and I would maybe remove one or two of the darker OOF bubbles in the water.

[Kiran Poonacha]

Great IQ bhai, loved the Angle, great light and raised foot looks cool. the line serperating the FG and BG works well, the drak patches distract a bit bhai.. but I loved this Bhai.. Congrats, keep them coming...

[Danny Laredo]

Szimi, this is great. love the low angle detail eye contact and pose. BG color is super.

[David Fletcher]

This is lovely Szimi! Sublime, with superb eye contact. Hope you are well and good too. Best regards D

[Jim Crosswell]

Great IQ and exposure. The catch light in the eye and HA add to this image. I would also remove the blob at the front.

[James Salywoda]

Gorgeous Shot Szimi! Love the low angle and pose. Good to see you posting

[Lorant Voros]

Very nice one, Szimi. I don't mind the dark patches on the surface; like the nice low angle, detail, pose, colors and the mood of the picture.

[Ofer Levy]

WOW ! What a stunning shot my friend!!!

[Chris van Rooyen]

CAnnot fault this - absolutely gorgeous - light, posture, sharpness, angle. A work of art.

[Juan Aragonés]
