Vinales Mountains Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Viñales valleys are spectacular. This photo is from the valley into Campismo Dos Hermanos camp resort. I didn't stay there but according to the guidebook this is one of the few campismos allowing foreigners as guests. From Viñales it's about 45 minutes to 1 h walk. There is also a bus once each hour. The view and the area is very interesting so one might choose to stay overnight here instead of the more traditional Casa Particular in Viñales.
Please note the buildings in the background are from a hotel resort on the other side of the valley this is not Dos Hermanos camp resort which is behind my back!

Hi jan,

The presence of the person has an effect of scale. The curve of the road is an asset to the composition. The mountains are framing well the road. The point of view leads our eyes toward the village in the background. The light is enhancing the colors. have a nice day.

Hello Jan Olof,
the man riding a bicycle looks very appropriate in this photo! Good composition including the curvy road and the buildings very far in the distance. Nature is mighty and huge; human being is a tiny creature... I like the warm colour gamma. Concerning the right part of the picture: it seems a bit too dark and thus too heavy...
best regards,
Elena
