Balance and considerable drama. I like the powerful effect of the "wave".

Thanks a lot - the area is filled with all sorts of waves - a sort of a paradise for a photographer. I photographed the place with the sun setting on the left. I wonder what it'll look like with the setting sun coming from the right. The shadows might look even more interesting than here.

Yep, I liked that too when visiting the place - the Moravian region is filled with picturesque places with many - even more interesting waves. It must look very nice in early spring when everything is just blooming and the green color is yet so delicate.

Very, very good. I love the pay of light and shadow.

I love the composition and the textures. I wonder if increasing contrast to make the trees stand out a little more would look good. It probably is better as is. I think it is a wonderful shot.

Very nice photo! I wonder how long you'd have to wait to have a backpacker or a cyclist or an interesting car on that road (is it a road?). Maybe it would give it a point of focus.

Very nice to hear it. I only wish the light was more varied - it was plain as there was not a single cloud in the sky.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it but then the trees got darker and it didn't really look so appealing - the background seems to get nothing from increasing contrast.

I believe it is a road but I saw no movement around for minutes - it is close to a small town/village but it was early morning - around 5-6 a.m.

Whoa, so very nice. I really like the textures but really the framing, colors, and everything is really nice. It pulls me right in. Very pleasant to look into your scene. I cannot criticize anything.

I love it. It also helps that Moravia has such rich history, it's a place every Christian is fond of (if they know their history...)
