Astonishing point of view giving this great perspective ! The depth of field well choosen permits to see the overall details from the first village in the foreground to the last one in the background. An ambient light very well rendered giving nice shades and contrast.

Excvellent composition. The street between the two villages lead perfectly our eye through the frame. The light and exposure are perfectly managed. A very good work.

Amazing light you've caught for this one, not just making it look like a painting, but specifically, a watercolour. I agree also with the points made by Gal and David about the compo.

Nice view and perspective.
It looks very much like a painting, especially the village in the background.

Truly, an astonishing PoV. The colors are wonderful and the sky appears dramatic over picturesque landscape. I also like the little architectural treasures dotting the road. This almost looks like a painting. Very attractive. Well done. Great composition.

Lovely colours and light. Looks like a painting, have you done post pro work to get this effect?

Well seen and captured!

I missed this stunner Jordi, exceptional! I just bought the 28-135mm lens for my Digital Rebel and am very heartened by this excellent result you get with the same lens. The colors and details are really fine.

Your point of view is extraordinary of course and the composition simply couldn't be better. You were blessed with remarkably clear air and a dramatic sky. As Chris says, this looks like an El Greco painting. Great work.

Punto de vista asombroso que da esta gran perspectiva. Segovia es una ciudad muy interesante, yo nunca fue para arriba allí, ahora yo desea que tenía.

Molt bona foto, Jordi!!!! Composicio excelent... Well done!

bscheller (56) 2005-03-30 13:45

Hey Jordi!
I think the landscape in this photograph is magnificent as much as the architecture itself. it captures that fairy tale type of effect. the rolling yellow hills and the small sleepy town.

great composition!

really good photo looks like water-colour paintig. i strongly believe it was purposive editing! the ground colors similar and there is no contrast, but anyway i'd prefer to have it on my wall.

pirulesco (1961) 2005-06-01 5:29

Hola Jordi,
esta es una foto extraordinaria! Tiene una calidad casi de acuarela... Me encanta!

Albrecht (11283) 2005-06-01 5:44

Hi Jordi
Thism is almost like a painting; soft tones and soft colours and a view at the next village. Wonderful shot with the church top in front gives a lot of depth in the picture. Well done, regards Albrecht

Impressionant.
És una composició molt atractiva. Només he estat un cop a Segóvia i no la recordava d´aquesta manera.
Només una pregunta. Hi ha postprocessat o és per l´escanejat que la imatge perd definició?

paguru (1056) 2006-02-12 8:34

What an amazing view! A timeless image, like a painting - well seen an well processed. I'm not sure what post processing you used, but it works very well for me. Thanks!

ManuMay (36447) 2007-02-06 7:10

Hola Jordi!!
Que maravilla!!
Parece un cuadro de El Greco. La has tratado la foto?, porque me cuesta creer que directamente haya salido así, de todas formas enhorabuena!!

Gracias por compartir
Saludos
Manuel

Bit like a painting, mainly the background. I like it however.
