what a shame. all that wasted time and energy, for all involved.

Salut,

Chiar ieri ma uitam la imaginea asta si vroiam sa te intreb, daca totusi a fost facut in perioada concursului. Era un pic cam ciudat totusi ca era fara pic de zapada si din cate stiu Transfagarasanul este inchis iarna. Dar ... banuiesc ca ti-au cerut originalul nu?

Oricum, felicitari pentru imagine, este foarte faina, si bine prelucrata. Singura problema ar fi in stanga unde e un pic neclara imaginea. Este cumva din cauza ca ai facut fotografia din masina in miscare? Sau asa i-ai adaugat tu efectul?

Succes in continuare.

This was my top pick of the challenge, too bad it was DQ'ed, great picture and editing!
01/25/2006 11:35:09 AM
Wow. What a crazy scene. Great image. However, how is it that the the lower left corner is out of focus in the areas around the street but the street is perfectly in focus?
01/25/2006 11:02:41 AM
Awesome shot and perfect fit for the challenge. Congrats. on another blue and beautiful landscape.
01/25/2006 10:13:23 AM

indeed I exagerated the colours, but is was on purpose. remember those colorfull, ireal jigsaw puzzle games? I wanted to simulate one of their immages :)
01/25/2006 04:57:30 AM
A fabulous scene, though the colours look too fake... Also, some blur/OOF in the lower left corner.

I'm surprised it made blue, but well done!

I see what you mean. :) Its seems as if the left portion of the photo is a little out of focus some how. Right side is crystal clear...

WOW! Fantastic shot!
01/19/2006 11:42:41 PM
This has a potential to earn the spot on the dpc home page for a week. Fantastic find! One thing I would recommend is coming back here (if at all possible and if you're interested) when the weather is better, and when the sun is higher up in the sky. Having the valley better lighted and not having that shadow on the right slope, with deeper blue color for the sky would make this befitting the cover of National Geographic magazine.

The road is there and keeps your eye. The nice sky brings my focus up away from the puzzle.

01/19/2006 01:38:43 AM
Wow....now *that's* amazing! I feel like I've been on this road and can't wait to see where it was taken. It reminds me of the Chief Joseph Highway from Wyoming to Montana.
