Good framing using the rule of thirds with excellent sharpness & contrast. I like the repetition of the fg purple & white flowers. Parabens!

Hi Jose,
I really like the rural feel and simplicity of this shot. Good light, excellent clarity, and fine complimentary colors. I also like that twistd old tree. TFS. Gerald

Bonjour Jose ,
Une superbe photo de paysage pr廥entant un endroit assez sauvage , pas vraiment spectaculaire , mais o� tous mes 幨幦ents composent un tableau tr鋊 harmonieux : fleurs blanches , herbes d嶴� jaunies , lavandes , rochers , arbres et buissons verts , nuages . Et bien s壜 , la jolie silhouette de l'arbre mort qui attire le regard , parfaitement plac嶪 dans la composition .
Bravo

Hi Jose. Lucky you, going into summer! We had -1 C this morning ;-(. Great photo, nice colours and good depth. I love the layered composition. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

bonjour jos�,
dans le th鋗e de l'arbre isol�, cette photo fait partie des gagnantes...

les differents plans sont parfaitement agenc廥 et il y a une analogie entre cet arbre qui meurt et ces fleurs qui revivent une fois de plus.
bien vu

Hi Jose,
I see the grass is turning yellow, but flowers are still blooming. The wall and the dead tree make a great composition.
Regards, Gerrit

Ol� Jos�!
Bel疄sima!
Nitidez excelente, exposi誽o corret疄sima, cores bem naturais e muito bonitas, ponto de vista muito bem escolhido e uma composi誽o simples por幦 acertada e com resultados visuais bastante atraentes! Gosto muito dessas florezinhas todas do primeiro plano inferior e daquela 嫫vore seca solit嫫ia ao fundo!
Parab幯s, abra蔞s e at� logo!
Uma 鏒ima quarta-feira pr� ti!

Bonjour Jos�,
C'est un superbe paysage que tu nous pr廥entes ici,
Je trouve cet arbre majestueux dans sa solitude.
Amicalement

It is very beautiful this dead tree planted in this countryside still decorated with flowers even if we begin to feel the red drought of the summer. There is a lot of movement with the vegetation and the clouds and I love the various shots created by the small stony walls.
Bravo!
Diane

Ol� Jos�,
Pelo tamanho da nota, parece que o Stego est� em low profile ;-) Mas, de facto, nas outras fotos j� falaste um bocado desta zona.
Acho que j� alguma vez critiquei que as notas muito longas (algumas tuas, e talvez minhas tamb幦) 跴 vezes s緌 um pouco aborrecidas. Eu ultimamente tenho feito um esfor蔞 para n緌 as fazer grandes.
Esta foto est� bonita e mostra bem a primavera nestas paragens.
Cumprimentos,
Francisco

Hola Jose.
Una magnifica composicion con estos preciosos campos con esa mezcla de verdes y ocres de plantas acabando su ciclo de cara al verano, ese arbol solitaria da una gran fuerza a la foto, el cielo tambien es excelente, con todos estos elementos y un gran fotografo por alli, el resultado no podia ser otro que una bellisima captura.
Saludos.
Luis.

Hello Jose,
A fine photo with excellent depth that well illustrates the gradual browning of thre green spring landscape. The dead tree ( a cork oak I think ?) brings a lovely contrast and is a symbol of nature's struggle.
Regards,
Paul

Jos�,
Obra de artista essa fotografia, amigo. Composi誽o po彋ica e execu誽o competente.

Abra蔞

Hello Jose -

Here is one where I am so glad you waited for a cloud to filter the sun so we can look at the details and the flowers without the harsh shadows. The dead tree makes this image for me as it gives a middle focal point before the ridge line and then the clouds. Well done!

Thank you for sharing.

John

Ol� Jos�,
Uma imagem primaveril de muito bom gosto, com estas florinhas que parecem pinceladas. Sente-se o vento a soprar no movimento discreto, mas sugestivo. Aquela 嫫vore retorcida � extremamente fotog瘽ica e soubeste bem explorar este fator na composi誽o.
Li tua resposta ao Francisco - interessante, h� um tipo de 嫫vores retorcidas, na regi緌 de Belo Horizonte, que tamb幦 s緌 resistentes ao fogo (j� viste meu post sobre isso, aqui).
Abra蔞,
Docarmo

T緌 simples quanto magnifica !
Cores e luminosidade perfeitas. Excelente perspectiva com as ervas e as flores em primeiro plano.
Muito bonitas as nuvens
Um abraco Amigo

Ol� Jos�,
cores muito bonitas a� nesses 萖timos dias de primavera, embora ainda ache um bocado seco para os padr髊s da regi緌 onde moro. De qulquer forma uma bela foto, com 鏒imas cores.
Parab幯s e Abra蔞

pablominto (53746) 2009-06-19 22:32

Hello Jos�,

The wild flowers make a fine element, contrasting well with the dead old tree!
The fresh greens of spring is already gone, giving way for summer's more matured colour palette...
A balanced composition with good details!

Greetings,

Bonjour Jos�,

Un bien joli tapis fleuri au premier plan qui donne un bon contraste avec cet arbre mort qui, lui, ne donnera plus jamais de bourgeons. Effectivement demain c'est l'彋� et j'esp鋨e qu'il sera aussi beau que le printemps... Tr鋊 belle photo avec des couleurs naturelles agr嶧bles et une magnifique nettet�, j'aime beaucoup cette image nature, merci Jos�.

Avec toutes mes amiti廥 et un tr鋊 bon WE,

Jean-Charles

Emile (20352) 2009-06-20 11:40

Hola Jos�.
Muy bonitas las flores en bonches de diferentes colores, muy buenos contrastes de colores, el cielo realza el solitario 嫫bol, has elegido muy bien estos componentes desde un magnifico POV. Excelente composici鏮.
TFS.
Un fuerte abrazo.

ElAprendiz (30) 2009-06-20 21:14

Hola Jose:

Una preciosura de foto, sin duda. La imagen tiene una gran fuerza compositiva, pero los colores diversos y dispersos por toda la escena, realzan al solitario 嫫bol.

Gran nitidez y definici鏮 y perfecta iluminaci鏮.

saludos, John
