Olà Gonçalo,

A superb harmony in the dored color give this beautiful view. a very interetsing contrast between the rural life and the high edifice of the city in the BG. The Fg give here a very greta depht.
Have a nice evening,
Roger

Olá Gonçalo!

Esta foto ficou muito boa!
O enquadramento com o fardo de palha em 1º plano, e os edifícios em 2º, ficou muito bem.
A proporção de céu (e especialmente em tons ocre) ficou soberba.
Grande dramatismo.
Aproveito para dizer que estou de volta, e agradeço os comentários que tens feito ao meu trabalho.

Um grande abraço,
Abel

Ola Goncalo,

Hi Goncalo,

Well composed, good soft tone and a fine photograph with interesting scenery!
So, this scenery might be a technique for the comparison of the harvested grain to the sun and deepening nourishment. Our country can also see the same spectacle.

Regards,
mikio

Hi Goncalo,
A very lovely display of colours and textures. The little amount of green along the foreground spiced up the whole scene as it also gives our eyes some soothing and refreshing moment. Great shot!!!
Best regards.

Bonjour Goncalo
j'aime beaucoup ce cliché qui montre bien la proximité de la campagne près de la ville, j'aime aussi cet atmosphère de pré-tempête
Amitiés

Hi Goncalo,

The distance between the straw bale and the buildings is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the straw bale. Using a gradual tobacco filter has a special effetc on the colors of the picture. Have a nice day.

Hi Goncalo,very nice this choice to paint whit the summer colors the sky too.Beautiful result and very good perpsective taken from the low POV,i like it! Thanks for share,have a nice day,Luciano.

josepmarin (59385) 2010-10-26 11:24

Olá Gonçalo,
dramática imagen por el efecto creado por el filtro tabaco, y un contraste gráfico muy interesante entre el campo recién cosechado, sus balas de paja y el edificio al fondo, que rompe el tono bucólico y rústico de la composición.
El resultado es potente.
Buen trabajo, amigo.
Um abraço,
Josep

Olá Gonçalo

Aqui os tons dourados do filtro deram à foto uma beleza especial.Como se fosse uma poeira dourada cobrindo tudo.Lindíssima.
Abraços

Ola Goncalo,
une très belle ambiance de feu grâce à ce filtre tobacco ici bien tuilisé car il prolonge des teintes pailles du sol. Une scène qui manque un peu de naturel mais surement pas de magie.
Regards.
Daniel.

curioso este contraste entre o rural e o urbano, as formas do edifício que se combinam bem com as formas do feixe de palha. foto bem enquadrada e iluminada

abraços

Ola Gonçalo,

Harvest with a very colorfully area.
Straw bales in foreground give a extra dimention to the picture.
Sharpness and clarity are perfect.
Also the colors and area, make this image attractive.
Very well composition, good presentation too. TFS.

Best regards,
John.

ikeharel (112439) 2010-10-27 5:21

A nice take with the tobacco-filter, Gonçalo.
Although it is diff. to distinct between colors and the contrast within.
Good dof on image,
Ike

ruisc_pt (11584) 2010-10-27 8:48

OLá Gonçalo.
De facto uma perspectiva com duplo sentido, o da imagem em si e o do contraste entre os modos de vida e da evolução humana.

Splendid autumn image with lovely varing shades of gold.
The large foreground bail of hay really brings the eye into this lovely scene.

Hi Goncalo, wierd and wonderful looking backdrop- a good focus on the straw baleswith lovely colours.. Well presented. Rich

baddori (20341) 2010-10-28 6:37

Goncalo
Questa foto , ..hai ragione, ha bisogno, di una scheda tecnica ...più che di una dotta nota storica.
Un lavoro serio e ponderato ...il risultato..un barocchismo "italiano" pieno dei "sui" significati.
Complimenti
Gianfranco

subhendu_bagchi (26091) 2010-10-28 6:52

Namaste Goncalo,
nice colour tone. It is so romantic. The view with the stag of straw is superb with the cottage at BG. Great composition. Tfs.
Best wishes.
Subhendu

Charo (51290) 2010-10-29 8:59

Hola Gonçalo,
Me gustan estos campos amarillos después de haber sido segados y con las pacas de hierba seca repartidas por ellos.
El cielo se une en color y domina la composición.
Excelente la perspectiva y profundidad.
Un abrazo,
Charo

Hola Gonçalo.
Espectacular imagen con este colorido tan cálido, buen POV en el contraste rural de los campos y las pacas de paja con la moderna construccion en el alto, un cielo muy dramático con esos grandes nubarrones. Un trabajo bonito y diferente.
Pasa un buen fin de semana. Aunque en toda la Peninsula lo tenemos pasado por agua.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

denisn72 (8314) 2010-10-31 5:17

Hello Goncalo,
The tones makes the atmosphere really special. It fits well with the golden straw bale. Stunning contrast with the farm and the city. Maybe, one day, this farm land will disapear, leaving the place for the growing city. Well done!
Best regards
Denis!

marietom (34611) 2010-10-31 9:31

hello Goncalo,

j'aime beaucoup ce contraste entre la meule de foin et les bâtiments à l'arrière.
Superbes couleurs.
Bonne soirée

dta (98848) 2010-11-03 8:11

Ola Gonvalo ,
The Composition is strong and interesting . But the most attractive is the superb effect of the filter , that works very well here .
Well done

Angshu (56760) 2010-11-03 9:37

Ola Goncalo
The use of tobacco filter makes it different. Good diagonal between the bale of hay & the house in the BG. These bales are not cylindrical as we see in other countries! Well composed amigo!
Um Abraco
Angshu

Juntas (7960) 2010-11-05 13:21

Oi Gonçalo. Parece-me que usaste aqui o filtro para cobrir toda a cena ou quase e já tinha pensado em fazer uma coisa assim também. Ficou muito boa a composição com os fardos de palha a contrastarem bem com os prédios. Boom trabalho.
Um abraço e bom fim de semana.
Paulo

jafadabret (56501) 2010-11-10 22:56

Bonjour Gonçalo,
La botte de paille et l'immeuble correspondent par leur forme et leur place dans la composition. Le ciel est en accord avec la couleur de la paille.
Amicalement
Jacques
