Here we are at the ethno-village Stanisic (STAH-nee-sheech) in Bijeljina, Republika Srpska, where I traveled two weeks ago. Once again I thank Vlada from Fotkapofotka for the HDR program he sent me. Vlada, whom I've recently met, told me his mother has been after him to take her to this place, so Vlada, get going! It will be Mother's Day this Sunday, at least in the US!The web page for this ethno-village is currently under construction, but it you go to Google Images and type in Ethno-village Stanisic, lots of photos come up!
This post is both for SKYWATCH and James' Reflection Weekend.

What a lovely picture. So picture perfect. Nice colors and composition. Thanks for sharing.
This place looks like it belongs in a fairytale. That RAW sure brings out the colors and detail.
A photo to get lost in, between the colorful village, water and ominous sky. Thanks for sharing your travels!
Interesting looking place - very picturesque.Nice sky and relections
This is amazingly beautiful place. Your sky is white and it looks like it is painted. Very nice! Happy weekend!

I'd like to see the original photo. I'm sure it is a good one.
You knocked this one out of the park! What a wonderful reflection.
hee hee -
You could have gone for a hat trick, Bibi - three in one - because this has got a bridge in it, too!

Very pretty! I like the reflections aspect.
That's very captivating.
Louis is right! Not sure what you did to this picture, but it's amazing (probably was straight out of the camera too).
[WV is "judge," and I judge this picture awesome.]
Looks like a very, very interesting and cool place to visit!

Wow - the simple beauty of this shot is mind-blowing.
Une photo magique, avec le reflet et cette église (orthodoxe ? ), et un très beau traitement (juste ce qu'il faut) HDR, BRAVO
I agree, it looks straight out of a fairy tale. Perfect picture for this filter.
Great shot. Amazing place.

Don't know which I like more, the beautiful reflection or the dreamy sky!
Wow! Bibi! you've really outdone yourself with this one. It looks like a place from the movie, "Lord of the Rings".
I love it.
Beautiful villa, nice reflection too.

Hello, Readers! Thanks for your comments. A couple of you had questions, so here is an answer I originally wrote for Grace, but can't send it to her; no email available, so I hope she checks back here! Steffe, this answers your 'original photo' request, too.
"Hello, Grace.
Thank you for your comment! I really don't like to retouch photos, but in this case this HDR program makes it fun and you can just bring out the best in a photo, like adding lipstick, powder....don't overdo it! The original shot here was taken on a cloudy day and the clouds were just barely visible against a white/gray sky.
I am at work now and my program is on my other computer, so I will let you know what it is later on today or during the weekend."
Excellent!
I do wish I had this program myself, makes fantastic results :)
Wonderful. I love the reflections.
This is a stunning photo! I love the HDR use on it. Does the program require the taking of 3 identical photos at different exposures?
Rebecca, it can, but doesn't have to. It gives you the option of creating a 'simulated' HDR, which is what I did here. I haven't yet tried with three different shots, but will!
A superb photograph...you've captured well the flavor of an "ethno" village...and the reflections, well, they're perfection!
This looks like a very neat place. The photo is pretty darn good, too.
gorgeous reflections!!!
Perfect sky for hdr!
Wonderful Bibi.
Beautiful and fantastic shots !!Simply lovely !!
Pat, that is EXQUISITE ... frame it .. sell it ... its just amazing ...
lovely and quaint place. HDR is something isn't it? I have never used it and most likely can't afford it!! :-)
Fantastic capture! HDR has really made the picture look so dramatic! Awesome work of photography!
Pixellicious Photos
Fantastic and superb reflections!
Happy SWF.
I am in awe of this picture. Picture perfect. It would be fun to see the same scene at a colorful sunset!

A gorgeous shot. I like the composition of the dark skies and abstract reflections in the water. The village looks like a beautiful place to visit.
Perfect photo of reflections and skies. Very vibrant. Love the exposure, lighting, colour and contrast. Great photo as paintings on walls.
Fantastic, Bibi! This deserves all the praise it received from the many, many commenters. And yes, there is a bridge in it too! I'm glad you are publicizing this extraordinary spot. It is really well done.
Stunning
