Autumn, the wet season. A dark/light contrast study.

In this image I tried to re-create the mood seen in old Dutch paintings from the 16th, 17th and 18th century ("de oude meesters") , where dark / light contrasts are dominant. I've seen a similar technique used by another photographer, Gerrit de Jong, and I find the resulting images quite interesting and inspiring...

Snow in Holland. Doesn't happen often (almost never). So while it lasts, we enjoy it...
