This round’s winner, a marvelous misty scene down by the pond. Beautiful tones, the light, the dark, the soft contrast, the shapes and lines, the natural mossy feel… Stunning work, well done !

My name is Erik Kjaer Hansen, I am 63 years old, and photograpy has been my greatest interest for almost five decades. I live in the city of Skanderborg in Denmark, and the winning photo was captured in a forest near my home an early december morning a year ago. The light was amazing, and it was my very first walk holding my brand new Leica M (240) with a Summilux 50 mm f1.4 ASPH lens. A little post processing: White balance was slightly adjusted in Adobe Lightroom, and using NIK Color Efex Pro 4 I added a vignette. Also using Color Efex I brightened the elements in the foreground and added some fine structure. You are welcome to visit my website, although it is under construction, and not 100% as I want it to be. Size and resolution of the photos have not been perfected, and some of the photos used will not be there, when I hopefully click the "finished" button in a week or two.
