This is a sunny autumn day captured in Swolowo, beautiful village in North Poland, called "The Checkered Houses Region" (Kraina w kratę) with half-timbered houses.

PS
Where are checkered houses? Next time, be patient

Excellent POV and depth of field here! I'm also a big fan of wide-angle shots, and this one is a great example of what can be done with a creative camera placement.

TFS!

Jacek,
Great composition using the river to lead the eye through the photo. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and DOF. The bright red of the church roof and tree add nice contrast to the shot.
TFS,
Asa

jean11-3 (2799) 2007-10-17 14:48

A beautiful POV Jacek.
The colours shout Autumn!The water is a lovely feature with the plants and the hint of a reflection.The streaks of cloud all point into the shot, well observed, a good job.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Slicznie skomponowane zdjecie
Wspaniale detale. Bardzo ciekawe niebo, super kontrastuje z zielenia trawy oraz czerwienia dachow i jesiennych lisci.
Dzieki i pozdrawiam

Bonjour Jacek,
que dire si ce n'est que c'est une composition fantastique.
J'en admire les couleurs bien rendues et restées naturelles, mais aussi la netteté présente partout, les lumières bien calibrées et les avantages tirés d'un grand angle.
Excellent travail.
Kind regards.
Daniel.

gneufeld (15890) 2007-10-17 16:45

Hi Jacek,
This is a very nice shot with very good use of the foreground with reeds in the water leading to the main feature, the very attractive looking church. The sky and clouds form a perfect backdrop. Great work and TFS. Gerald

colinb (1592) 2007-10-17 17:24

Wow, the wide angle lens has worked so well here. The thumbnail jumps off the page. Great shot!

To jest to...to jest moj kraj...
Przypomina mi nawet moje miasto (jedno z moich miast, tam chodzilam do liceum i tam mieszka jescze ojciec, Zlotow, na Pojezierzu Pomorskim). Tam tez jest kosciolek, ktory mozna dokladnie zobaczyc z tego POV-u, znad jeziorka...
Pyszna atmposfera.

Hej Jacek

Nie wiem dlaczego ktos chciałby uciac dol...własnie szeroki dol i podobna gora z tymi chmurami jak smugi daje taka głebie srodka obrazu,bardzo nietuzinkowe! Mnie podoba sie bardzo!

Gratuluje i pozdrawiam Łukasz

Czesc Jacku,
Ładnie spisuje sie ta szeroka sigma w takich warunkach. Jesien jak malowana:) I wcale dolu nie jest za duzo, to oczywiscie kwestia gustu i smaku w fotografii, osobiscie uwielbiam szerokie spojrzenia. Swietna praca.

Hi Jacek,
Nice wide angle view, the succession of elements as the eye goes up makes it a photo interesting to discover, and your pov is fine, The reds of the roofs are evry powerful against greens and blues.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Jackos (3542) 2007-10-19 13:35

W pierwszej chwili myślałem że to hdr ale widzę jednak że to zasługa światła i cpl-a. Fajnie to wyszło, świetna kompozycja, ładny, zrównoważony kadr i piękne, jesienne kolory.
Pozdrawiam

feather (51130) 2007-10-20 7:32

You made good use of the excellent light in this image. The red roofs and tree make a lovely bright splash of colour. I also like the hint of a reflection and the way the lines of faint clouds in the sky all seem to point to the church. Well done

Wonderful composition, with excellent colors! The clouds seem to be coming from the house! The details on the water are also great! Good job!

tehanu_f (6896) 2007-10-29 14:33

I have noticed something on TE: There are really very good photographers from Poland. Your photo is superb in terms of depth, sharpness and light. The colours are beautiful and the slight distortion of the wide angle gives it a fairy tale look.
Congrats.

Hi Jacek, This is a beautiful view, the clear autumn day, the sun giving excellent light & showing off all those great colours, you have captured the scene wonderfully well, with the water as a superb foreground feature & the little church, sharp & well composed, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

Stepan (27210) 2007-11-01 1:03

The depth is excellent, especially thanks to the light misty cloud, producing moves and perspective.
And the pov is OK with that foreground, pretty useful to create the countryside mood...
Well composed.
