Of light and shadow Photo

Photographer’s Note

rice terrace near Banaue on the Philippine island of North Luzon...
I have never seen such green landscapes... the green in this picture benefits from side-/backlighting...
Hope you enjoy,
Karsten

This is a lovely use of simple colour and shape. I took a similar one outside Kathmandu once, thought from further away and it included a farmer. But it was not nearly as well saturated and beautifully simple as this one.

Olá Karsten,

This photo is the result of the perfect communion between the green terraces, and the light/shadow. I enjoy it.

Extra fine composition and light management!
Brilliant colours and details! The black works as the perfect background!

Congratulations!

a very romantic rural philippine scene. the slopes of green vegetation with just the right amount of light is an envy.
as i said prior, i could only wished you upload the maximum allowable 800pixels...:-(
