Congratulations, Petter! Do share more of your photographs.

[Frank Fremerey]

I did not vote for #1 because to my eyes it looked like a prompted AI shot

[Anthony]

Congratulations, Petter!

[Ann]

Congratulations to Petter on his beautiful landscape photograph. I would love to live near such a magnificent waterfall.

And many thanks to those who voted for my heron. He is a Louisiana or Tri-colored Heron (although he actually  has four colours).

These energetic birds are my favourites among the herons and you can see more photographs of them (and other herons too) at this link on my website:

Thank you so much Ann and Anthony. Long time, no see

Frank Fremerey: first time I have been accused for using Ai
This is a place I visit at least once a year.
First time was in 2010 when Sten Rasmussen and myself was leading the very first NG "Norwegian Scavenger Tour" and I fell in love with the place.
Below you can se the original and unedited picture taken in june 2015 and also a picture taken last year where you can see something has happend to the place:

Congratulations to the winner and the runners-up.

Frank Fremerey: first time I have been accused for using Ai

I did not accuse you, I just felt the picture looked unreal ... that is why I cast my vote for another picture.



lovely place ...

[Øivind Tøien]

Congratulations Petter! Sad to see the changes in the more recent image. Perhaps we are getting so used to it that the perfection in the 2015 winning image seemed unreal?

"First time was in 2010 when Sten Rasmussen and myself was leading the very first NG "Norwegian Scavenger Tour" and I fell in love with the place."

I was one of the very fortunate ones to have gone on that trip with Petter, Sven and a few others — and I had the great honour of staying at Petter's house as well!

Rosendal was among the most beautiful places which we visited in that lovely country  and I am so sorry to see that someone has recently destroyed its perfection.

Congratulations Petter on your win and thanks for sharing some history of the place.
I really like the picture.

[HCS]

Congratulations Petter, what a marvelous picture!

Congratulations to the runners-up as well!
