Another one with the train and a little bit of snow. Actually it should be much more snow at that altitude but as already said it gets less and less in the last years. But the presence of the snow banks makes it a bit more "alpine". What about the part if the wagon at the left? Crop it off? Any comments would be very welcome.
Thanks a lot for the in depth going comment, Visar! It'll be hard to clone that off (for me) but I do imagine that then... the rest of the train will vanish into some cloned woods/vegetation?? Or do you mean to cloan also the last remaining wagon up to the edge of the image? That would be even harder for me to do. But it makes clear to me, at which moment I should rather shoot - namely when the protruding wagon is out of the way. Or perhaps also turning the camera a bit to the right.
I wish you all possible success in all your active trying to at least hinder corruption a little bit. The lobbies got more powerful than the government itself, and this is still sold to us as "democracy". I keep on reading the news of Greece about the last scandal of our ministers with siemens. Ha! They put cameras on the roads for our "security", but under such conditions they should rather put them in their offices ;-)
Still, we do have a good part on that. We simply consume too much, and also too much energy. They simply know that energy sells because *we buy*, and so they produce. If we don't stop that completely unnecessary high consumption, then we can't expect anything to change. As an example: When almost everybody that has the necessary money gets a huge house for himself and perhaps two more persons, it is clear that it will end up that way. Who's gonna heat up that huge home? Who's gonna repair it? (Also needs energy.) Anything that we have is connected to energy consumption for its production and maintenance. So, what you say is at the end: Have less!
But this seems to somehow generate problems to the good old western prosperity evangelium, ey? ;-)
strange not to see a single comment on this one Nick,
regarding the melting snow, and global warming- now it is becoming cliche to talk about- almost every one knows about it and yet there's so little action. just today, some frineds of mine organised a protest in front of the National Government againt the constructing of a Termocentral/ Power Plant of 2100 MW;- right now, we have two of them, just outside the capital, and the pollution produced is unbelievebly high over the average allowed! they invested about 3 bil. € in the last 8 yrs and still we do lack power; so, no doubt corruption is flowing- now they want to build this one, and the coal that we have, which is of the poorest quality in EU (argued so), and we have huge amounts of it which does not go deep but rather is found in the surface. so, aobut i do not know how many villages are to be relocated for that purpose, and people do not want that- so, the ex-Minister of Energetics have made an agreement (not a contract yet) behind the scenes, for construction of the third Termocentral and which only the building of it costs over 2.5 bil €. Now the government has changed, and with it the pople in charge of this project- of whom there is hard proof for corruption and yet no one cares- thus, it raises suspicion that the current officials are the same- the only difference is that they want to implement the project!!! yet, people sleep!!! though, there is still chance not to let it be built, those friends of mine along with few people of some village went and loaded a trailer of ashes and unloaded at the government gate- that is great i guess!! but, i am very pesimistic they would be affected by it. i'm just frustrated with all these puritan a** stupidities that one cannot believe- and yet like f** pinguins they come up in the TV with their 'i do not know what to call' faces and bragging about for achievements!!- the tragedy is that, not only here; here the game is cheaper and easy to unfold it unlike in the capitalist and so called democratic world which has the problem of global warming!! ***
anyways, i find the light conditions (exposure) and composition very appropriate; having that part of the vagon there certainly draws attention, cropping it will displace the 'dissolving' train from the golden cut more to the left; thus i think, clonning it off would be the best- the house on the valley is a lovely reference of mood and nice element for balance and mood of the shot.
