Everywhere people with camera's find their way in this world to make their shots. I like the art of taking realistic pictures, because it provides a way to show how I experience this world. It is a way for other people to look through my eyes.Nature ... exists primarily for her face, her look, her appeals to the heart and the imaginationGeorge MacDonaldJan-Carel Vierbergen
Picture courtesy of Ruut WegmanBIOIt is all in the family: love for hiking in the nature. Since my childhood I'm used to walk with father, brothers, cousins, etc., and take pictures (Minolta X-700 with 28-70 mm and 100-300 mm zoom) of what I see. I grew up in Ede (The Netherlands), studied Electrical Engineering in Eindhoven and I am working now as Coordinator e-learning at the Christelijke Hogeschool Ede (http://www.che.nl) where I implement digital assessments for students and assist students in DTP and creating websites.
Since I know little about photographing as well as computer science it was not difficult to find ways for putting images on the web. The only thing to look for now is to find ways for showing the slides in a convenient way. I tried already something at http://www.che.nl/users/jcv (Dutch only, click at Dia's van de natuur in Nederland en de Alpen), but this platform provides good means to share my pictures with others.
I hope you enjoy this!

hmm tough,but i like the left one,the more natural colors realy. Excellent photo for sure.=D
JenniferSun
Ha! First! :) Excellent macro, looks very refreshing. I prefer the picture on the right. As you said, the details are shown much better.
PeeWee05
I must say that I prefer the scanned image, def looks more realistic :D
Cosine
I like the left one, because it looks more natural. There isn't enough extra detail on the right to change my mind. Excellent macro shot in either color, though.

Stick with the left hand one I think. Would a slight increase in contrast bring out more detail?

If you apply 'Auto Color' in Photoshop, and directly after that you choose 'Fade Auto Color', and you slide down to 'Luminosity', you will keep the original colors, but the details will show better. Just try this and see if you like it that way. (in fact you will get the colors of the first, and the contrast of the second). --Geert

I definitly prefer the one with auto-levels. I pretty much always apply that to my photos. Or i use the eyedropper tool. Perfect example of the power of Photoshop, even with the simpliest of effects. Have a great day buddy. #:O)

From an artistic point of view, I prefer the picture on the left. It has got more 'vibes', my friend [augurken met slagroom, LOL]! Have a good day, J.C.!

I prefer the picture on the right..we can see more details! Excellent macro shot! :)
busi2ness
On the basis of the colour: left
Margana
While the right one is prettier,no doubt,(the colors remind me of the sea),the one on the left is my preference.It's more natural,and the way we see it,as well.If they were part of a larger picture it would then depend on what you were going for.Sometimes you need those colors and details.Other times,it's about naturalness.Perhaps a combo of the two?
vlaaitje
I like the right one......buth both are nice....
Coppens
The right one! Well shot!
Hedepo
I have a preference for the autolevel version, more the impression of transparrency , and I like the details of the ice crystals, which makes for me,in the end the photo!! Have a nice day!! Henk
Valerie-Ducom
very good compostion for these colors, lighting and texture. excellent work of collage! good day and kiss ;)
suresh_krishna
I prefer the right one. The details are more visible and the ice crystals are more impressive. PS is such a versatile tool! Thank you for sharing.
Cosme..D..Churruca
The right one... as you say the details are shown better.
hotracer2
I like the one on the left, just visually better for me:):):)...V

Excellent work Jan! I must say that in spite of the fact that the image on the left has a bit less detail than the one on the right. I like the image on the left best. I'm wondering if a hint of contrast wouldn't have brought out some of the detail without losing the natural colour!? Splendid work none-the-less my friend. Have a most excellent day!
Dynazty
I like the left one, insted of using the autolevel why not try just using brightness and contrast, thats what I do when autolevel doesn't do what I want....have a great day.....=)
nathalie06
That's another mystery of photoshop,l ol ! I had similar results with my shots of Lapland and the snow. Anyway, I prefer the second one, more natural and with more details about this ice crystal. Good idea to show us the two version Jan-Carel. 2 differents visions about the same subject, and it seems something else ;o)))) Lovely ! Have a nice day my friend. Hugs.
Vik9740
i like the first and most natural version myself.. nicely done!
WiserAngel
I like the first one. The right one makes the ice look "dirty". I always prefer less doctored photos. Love the sparkly details.
redchilicat
They are both beautiful but I think I like the one on the right the best. Really close call though. :-0
Laelia
Well...I would believe the second one was the capture without postwork levels.. It's my prefered, cause seems paradoxaly real about color snow...the first is so clean...not uninteresting also Excellent presentation JC
-GaWa-
I thought at first you were like myself and used filters on your lens. At the end of the day, it is hard to choose which one looks better. Each one has its own story and feeling, yup I like both.
mcanning
I prefer the contrast and the range of colours on the right.
soulofharmony
Jc this is outstanding quality and such fantastic light.. nearly down to the small fragments and atoms.. hahahhahaha hugs brillaint:)
Loloe
I prefer the right one, but I think you could have reduce the effect to 50% to mix both photos! Excellent job! Bravo!!!
TwoPynts
Hard to choose...I would say do a 50% merge of the two and it would be perfect. Excellent icy image Jan-Carel!
