Hello John,

Excellent photo! The first thing that attracts one's attention is the yellow and green grass. Excellent composition in that I like that you included the windmill - it really completes the overall effectiveness of the photo.

Great shot John - I like the composition with the tree dominiating the frame, and the small windmill off to the right hand side. Good colours too. Enjoy your trip!

markstaples (15670) 2006-05-09 12:01

I particularly like the many shades of yellow and green present in this shot which provide superb contrast against the sea and sky. Well composed as always with the tree on the left and even interest on the right hand side of the shot with the windmill.
Nice work.
Mark

Hej John,
Great landscape. The colours are great and well put together. The composition is also very good and nicely balanced by the tree and wind mill. Good work!
Have a nice trip to the UK!
Hilsen,

Lovely colours, John. I love the composition with the way the tree and the little windmill balance each other at opposite sides of the frame. The colours of the spring meadow wildflowers are wonderful.

Hi John,
Wonderful composition, very well balanced. The colours and the lighting are superb. I can almost feel the wind on my face.. Splendid work!

Regards John

John, i like the solitude that has that tree and the smooth atmosphere of the sky. Excellent contrast and point of view.

great shot here, I liek the simpleness of it al, very good peaceful shot, well done

Amandine (1072) 2006-05-10 2:14

Thanks to this pic, I just discovered you gallery, which is really really good.
Here, I thinks the move of wind in the grass, in the branches of the three is very interesting, it bring some life in a landscape that could have been sadest without. Colors are well done too, very natural.

rbcy1974 (20758) 2006-05-10 6:03

Hello John
Fantastic view, great contrasts (did you do any PP)
I like the juxtaposition between the mill and the tree.

Hi John, first of all: have a nice time in the UK (and don't forget your cam (as if that was possible;-)). Good balanced shot here and interesting note. The windmill does seem rather small to me; I visualise them bigger (probably due to film and tv?). The colour of the grass (or is it blossoms?) is very striking; is it always like that? Very nice and have fun.

Cormac (26565) 2006-05-10 11:13

Nice shot John! As usual, your composition is great, with the scene well balanced between the near and far, and the wind wheel & tree balancing each other too. I like the golden tones and soft sky, which speaks of a gentle warm climate. Good luck on your trip to Britain. By a coincidence I am also going to Europe at the same time, but I'll be travelling in France. I look forward to seeing your shots when you get back.

sam224 (6215) 2006-05-10 14:52

What a composition: very attractive indeed!! Lovely colours as usual. The lonely tree surrounded by the colourful tree is really well captured.
Thanks for sharing.
Very well done!

danielswalsh (13597) 2006-05-10 21:07

Cool shot John!

I like the range of yellows in the field. Great composition, sharpness and minimal noise John.

I hope you have a great trip to the UK John, I look forward to seeing your shots here on TE when you get back.

Safe travels,
- Dan

To stay here and be in silence is a best work that i can do now !
but my eyes goes there and here in this view for absorbtion of the beauty and colors and contrat and...Atmosphere !
to feel the atmosphere of a shot is very important for me,to underestand it,to imagine about to be there in the shot !
this depends to photographer and the way he/she work and compose and create a picture,a shot can pull a soul inside of itself very well because of the photographer who create that,...ah,John,most of the time,it hard to say about my feeling in english,and I have to say with some simple words,but I know You know what that I say about,...

Thanks John for sharing these beauties and perfects shots,nicely done,

Best Regrads
M

Hello, John!
Very nice, soft image with beautiful colors! I like this composition with well positioned trees and fantastic, smooth areas and tone changes. I can almost feel the breeze and space of this place. Thanks for showing it!
regards,
Greg

Une terre abandonnée, John, est toujours triste parce qu'elle raconte un rêve brisé. Ici la beauté du paysage est à couper le souffle et la nature semble panser les plaies de ce mal de l'abandon.
Jacques

bertolucci (14052) 2006-05-11 16:27

Hi John, the thing that strikes me most here is the lovely blue/yellow colour contrast and the great effectiveness of the composition. The juxtaposition of the trees and the wind generator is very interesting and plays with the perception - what's the actual scale. Very good!
Have a nice trip to the UK, John! It will be nice to see your photographic take on it.
Bert

papagolf21 (152605) 2006-05-11 18:53

Bonsoir John,
J'ai l'impression d'être en face d'un écran géant de cinéma, d'en admirer la scène, et entendre les pales de cette sorte d'éolienne qui grince selon l'humeur du vent.
Le bouquet d'arbres semble gigantesque par rapport à l'environnement. La sensation de vent est presque palpable à travers cette photographie.
Amitiés.
Philippe

I love the saturated colours. The greenish yellow provides a lovely contrast with the polarised sky. The little windmill balances the trees in the frame.
I hope you enjoy your stay in my country. May/June are my favourite months here when everything is fresh and green, providing the weather is kind. I look forward to your photos and observations.
Kath

Stepan (27210) 2006-05-12 14:37

Strange and impressive scale. The mill seems to be a model or the tree is extremely big !! Strange visual effect. I like it very much.
Stéphane
PS : Have a good trip.

rabdelnoor (3423) 2006-05-13 10:44

Hi John,
One more outstanding composition, enhanced by beautiful and intense colors and fantastic light. I wish you have a great time in UK and I am looking forward to see the photos you will bring from there.
Take care
Ricardo

MarekP (4750) 2006-05-14 3:45

Hi John,
Colours are great here -- I like the combination of yellow and dark gray/blue of the sky very much. On the other hand I'm not fully satisfied with composition this time. The little windmill on the right is too small to balance the big tree on the left. Moreover its legs blend with background.

Thanks,
Marek

alvaraalto (42804) 2006-05-14 17:06

Hi John.
The lonely tree theme! Excellent work. The clouds behind the top of the tree look like a aureole.
I wish you a good trip to the UK.
groet Rob

Bonjour John,
Superbe scène, bien cadrée avec cette éolienne de l'ancien temps. Les couleurs sont superbes et puissantes. Magnifique cliché.
Amitiés
Martine

Good Afternoon John -

Again, you make my home state look so wonderful. The spring grasses contrasted with the sky and ocean are just wonderful. I can just feel the sea breeze and smell the grasses and sea, even from Colorado. Your description and notes really set the scene for someone not familiar with the place.

Excellent, well done!!

Thanks for sharing

John

CliffW (2381) 2006-05-20 12:28

John, I very much like scenes like this - something that inspires a sense of either peace or awe in a landscape is ideal. Here, I think it's the former. A photo that conveys a sense of wanting to be there, about what it's like, through the use of one small box. Here the pitch of the trees, the existence of the windmill, the white wave convey a scene in my mind that goes beyond 2 dimensions. These factors project the rustling through the grass and flowers, the sunshine and sea breeze in your face. It's an excellent piece of work for managing to pull that off.

cam (9043) 2006-05-27 17:13

Hello John
Hope ypu are having a good trip and that the wheater is cooperating.I have been to England twice,at the same period andhad a total of 30 minutes of rain in two months,hope you get the same.
Well balanced photo and colorful,joyously coloring the vision.The clouds,being on the left,towering over the tree,offer a good contrast and dynamism.

Well done. TFS.
