Bulgarian landscape I. - with rainclouds Photo

Photographer’s Note

During our biketrip it rained almost every day until we crossed the Balkan Mountains. On that day the rainclouds followed us all day long but it only rained before we set up our tents in the evening. (: The sun also shone for some minutes as you can see here. I loved the various landscape we were cycling through along the river Danube. Can you see the sheep? (:
I would be pleased if you told me your opinion about the photo!

sky looks a bit fake (behind the left small tree you see the original sky), but the landscape illuminated from the sun looks brilliant, with my best wishes, valentinos

BTW, you should have used a bigger father setting to avoid this hard lines between land and sky.

Hi Marton!
I'm missing a bit sharpness but I love the colors.Wonderful,many,differrent green tones and good contrast with yellow and the blue/grey sky.Are these sheep in the center?
Regards,leo

Hi Marton,

I see you have wonderful landscapes in Bulgaria.
The light on the top of the raising hill makes that necessary accent that makes this scenery glow and show wonderful diversity in quite small area.
Darkened clouds of rain make great background and enhance the contrast of yellowish appearance of the greenery.
And yes, sheep can be seen.
I wouldn't mind to see some additional sharpness, though.

My best,
Jeri

This is a great example of the importance of light. The sunlight on the fields gives this great colour and visual impact, and it's made even better by the fact that the clouds in the background are so dark. It might be better if it had something in the scene to act as a focal point, like a road or a building, as the sheep are a little too small in the frame. Nice shot!

Hi Marci,
a spot of sunlight is a real joy on a rainy trip like yours, and the photo is transporting this mood perfectly.
Cheers Christian

Hi Marci!

Beautiful landscape photo, simple but great composition, excellent positioning of the horizon, great light managment and interesting "layers", I like the sheep, "hidden" in green. Great light managment, fantastic colours, great combination of green and blue. Congratulations!

Hi Marci,
I like the effect of the sunbeams that illuminate a part of these fields, in the middle of a cloudy and rainy day.
The vivid colors give a great graphical wealth to your composition, and the depth of the image does more attractive this landscape.
Well done.
Friendly regards,
Josep

Szia Marci!
Nyugalmat és békét sugárzó tájkép gyönyörű színekkel. Tetszik a horizontális kompozíció, érdekes hangulatot és harmóniát kölcsönöz a tájnak. Ám, az igazi főszereplők a csodás színek és a különleges fények. Gratulálok! Szép napot és tájakat!

Hi Marton
Un bon contraste des couleurs dans ce paysage paisible avec une joli alignée de moutons un peu cachée par les arbres, trés jolie et bien présenter
Good evening for you

It must be a nice place and i see you have a great time travelling by bike. But honestly this picture looks a little bit lack of sharpness maybe because of the zoom or the weather was not perfect. Still a good picture Marci and thanks for this...

Szia Marci!
Nagyon tetszetősek a kontrasztok, az egyébként is tarka tájra még a Nap is rátett egy lapáttal. Ja, és persze a birkák is - nélkülük nem lenne meg a pastorale. Szép pillanat lehetett!
Üdv

Cső ismét!

Gyönyörű pillanatkép a vihar előtti (vagy utáni?), még napos tájról, gyönyörű színekkel és fényekkel. Kitűnően komponált fotó, viszont úgy érzem, lehetne élesebb egy cseppet. Vagy a szél volt erős? Maga a kompozíció viszont tanítani való.

Azért sajnálom 'bostankorkulugu' barátodat, nagyon várja már, hogy a travelogue Törökországba érjen, de úgy tűnik, még jócskán várnia kell. :)

Üdv, Laci
