Thanks, I'm better at height pictures, in fact thats all I can do, see Tirol. Is there any secret to capturing an image, not just taking a picture but actually make every pixel scream mood time place and feeling..... or am I just an idealist?

hmmm... a secret... well i don't know that i'm one to ask for secrets. i'm looking to find them still too. but i do know that it takes time, practice, dedication, and the conscientious developing of a composition-sense, like a sixth sense or a second sight. you're already looking and snapping, which is a great start. you seem to live in a place, or at least go places that scream mood time place and feeling often, which is a huge help-- it means you have some incredible raw material to work with. on top of that you seem to know the quality that you want your images to have; many people don't. it's a pathway, really, and you've just got to follow it where it leads you and share with the people you meet along the way. documenting beauty is awe-inspiring, and the more you do it, the more it shapes your sensitivities and teaches you what penetrates the viewer's everyday shell and draws them into your world, what makes your 2D representations living, breathing, 3D worlds for *them*. what makes every pixel in a pic scream collectively what it *felt* like to be there. all i really know is that if you keep trying and availing yourself of the resources you find and the information and feedback from your own projects, you will begin to make images that do that. YOU ARE NOT JUST AN IDEALIST. it's possible. keep at it!
