Typical village on the Faroe Islands Photo

Photographer’s Note

Typical village on the Faroe Island
The small village in the back is typical for these islands out in the North Atlantic. A little sheltered behind some cliffs, facing the grand ocean. Population some 50 people. A small church, no shops, in best case a small café. This should be the village Gjogv at the Eystoroy island.

Hallo Jack!
These houses seem to be nestled in this small valley in order to resist the storms of the Altantic. I like how you "constructed" this picture with this sharp line of the rocky island against the endless ocean. What a place to live in ...
Greetings from autumnal grey, cool and wet Germany!

Hello Jack

I like the sheep in the fg, which adds depth & a good focal point. The diagonal horizon line creates dynamism. Good color and sharpness. Tfs!

Hola Jack.
Lovely place, very well captured. Sorry about the cloudy day, the presence of the sheep is a good add.
Well done.
Best regards.

Hello Jack ,
Despite of the grey weather ( but may be it is the typical weather in these islands ) , this is really a nice view . The composition is excellent , with the sheep in the fore ground , and the coloured village so well situated at the bottom of the green cliffs . A great mood !
Congratulations
Denis

Olá Dear Jack,

This very beautiful image, very similar to what you can find on the island of the Azores / Portugal, where the green color is dominant.But instead of sheeps has many cows.
Greetings,
Filipe

Hi Jack,
Good pov on this bay, nice effect with these colours on grass and roofs ... and a good place for this "people" ;-) of this archipelago in FG !

Makes me think at the light, the colors and the mood of Iceland... Looks sad, looks humide, looks moody...
Well composed and framed, with the sheep, the village and the huge cliff in the background.

Bonjour Jack,
des paysages entre l'Islande et l'Irlande, en tous cas; les mauvaises conditions météos sont au rendez-vous.
Lumières diffciles mais bien capturées, peu de panache dans les couleurs.
J'aime la présence de ce mouton au premier plan.
Regards.
Daniel.
