Reminds me of New Zealand :) Lovely shot, Hans.

Pure Magic !!!

Thanks for your comments on my image.
Epic,I just stumbled on it on my way home.
Big news,I have sold a postcard of this image,my 1st sell,I will use the my $1.50 profit as a down payment for a Porsche.

Verdant Green, Rolling hills, a Shack, & that wonderful light & shade! Great stuff !

Hans, you make me feel i should get out into the country more often…absolutely stunning shot

Superb shot. Love everything about/in it.

Magnificent, and Hans i think you will sell

Perfect moment

Oh another dream !!!!!

cannot believe its a photo, too perfect! GREAT SHOT, the texture on the grass almost look like brushed paint on canvas.

This is superb Hans.

Stunning Hans.

I really like the shadows and texture!

Now don’t let it go to your head, Hans…..go for the slower turbo, won’t you :) Congratulations, I’m confident it’ll be the first of many! Oh, I love this shot, its beautiful!!!

That is a stunning image. Very inspiring Hans!

What a beautiful image

Very beautiful – weel seen!

I thought it was Gippsland! Those beautiful rolling hills. You’ve done really well Hans!

beautiful! one of my favorite things green hills and shadow. so peaceful

G’day Hans,
I really like the way you have captured the light painting highlights along the curves and crests of that rolling landscape.
Your composition is very good indeed as is your exposure, depth of field and focus.
The colour rendition is beautifully saturated and the subtle detail in the grass helps bring the scene to life.
Lovely work mate!
God bless you and yours,
Dennis

great light, shadows and texture. The green color is wonderful!

Lush green and green curves… in the beautiful light. That’s gorgeous, landscape photography at its best.

A superb image Hans, simple as the best ones are. I love the light, and the limited range of colours. Is bichrome a suitable term?

yep, stunning hans!

Beautiful stuff, Hans, love that green :)

Its a beautiful photo… it doesn’t look like any of the part of Victoria I’ve ever seen! More like the UK!

Just superb – it just feels so endless – what an amazing capture… The best!

Wow what a respond to a lucky shot,thank you all.

lol Hans, congratulations and you can put it towards you new porsche.;)

A stunning picture Hans,one of the best.Charge more for it,make it your premium shot.It is truly beautiful.I shot I would cherish and make it my signature….

Thanks for the encouragement Matthew

This has to be South Gippsland….........Yum!
M:>

Thanks for your comments,hope to get to NZ next year Christine in April to catch that golden Autumn light over there.

What a gorgeous image. I love the richness of colour. The grandeur of the hills makes the house/barn seem so small, it is almost engulfed by the landscape. I love it.
Feel free to have a look at some of my images.

Like the curves and shadows. Awesome shot

stunning photo!

This is the standard I would like to aim for. Amazing photo! Well done!

OOH, where the painted folk art hills were born, the real thing is much prettier, love this photograph.

Strzelecki’s? The shack/shed provides perspective, without would’ve made it difficult to understand the size of the rolling hills.

Beautiful.

thansk again for the latest comments

Superb landscape image. The Rolling Hills bordered with crescents of light gives the image almost a three-dimensional appearance. beautiful shades and hues of green. The lonely white cabin serves as a wonderful scale and as a focal point. This is an instant favorite for me.

thank you Eyal for your comment

Simply brilliant and brilliantly simple! Superb and exquisite are two more words that come to mind!

Quality of light is what it’s all about and you’ve caught it beautifully.

Regards,

Mike

Stunning work, you have utilised the light superbly. A very beautiful composition.

Good timing on the light. Adds a great deal of depth. Where were you when you took this shot, on another ridge?

Thank you all for your comments,Troy I was standing above the valley on a dirt track overlooking the opposite side it was just a lucky shot on our way home just before sunset.

Fabulous shot

Beautiful tones, light & patterns. A really special image!!!

Stunning landscape, the grass looks like velvet!.

Gott, so viele Bewertungen/Kommentare. Unglaublich. —Wo hast Du denn dieses Motiv aufgenommen? Echt schön. Echt grün ;)

Thanks for all your comments,I took this image in Gippsland at Mt Best near Foster,the light was just stunning that evening.

Stunning shot!

This is true art…..I thought it was Ireland at first but….well it is amazing what a load of superphosphate and/or a dose of PHotoshop can achieve despite the drought!!!!!!

Superb work.

absolutely outstanding…..what you need now is a trip to namibia to shoot the sand dunes at around the same time of day….then you’ll have a ‘green one’ AND a ‘brown one’

beautiful image – think I want to emigrate!

Lovely light, beautiful composition. So peaceful and calming, you feel as if you can almost walk right into the landscape.

What a nice place that is, great capture!

Sigh…. you write, “Wow what a respond to a lucky shot,thank you all.” And I am reminded of Gary Player one early morning as he endlessly practiced pitch shots, watching a number of them drop into the hole.

“You’re very lucky this morning,” a bystander commented as another ball rolled into the cup.

“It’s the oddest thing,” Gary smiled. “The more I practice, the luckier I get.”

outstanding work

very outstanding;

Simply and incredibly STUNNING on every front possible!!! WOW
