[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a landscape picture taken from Castelnau de Montmiral in the Vere Valley, in the Tarn region of France (South West Corner). This particular region is in the Gaillac winde growing region, which perhaps is not as well known as Bordeux, Champagne, and some of the others; but, does lay some claim to be the first region to produce a sparkling white wine (even before the Champagne region). The sparkling wine is quite pleasant - especially when on holiday ;-)

Hi David
you found a remarkable place here in a warm pastel light, I favor these pastels, too much underestimated trespassing the hard contrast, sharp glassy looking tendens becoming indeed a bit "déjà vu", so this is an excellent example how it still can be incongruous with these gradiant misty light.
Merry Christmas

Strange colours, fine perspective, amazing landscape.

Hi David,
I tend to agree with Henk about the underestimated soft and pastel colors. This is a very good composition with all the lines made by roads or rows of trees. It really looks like a soft pastel painting. Very well done!

hi dave, idyllic, pastel picture, beautiful, nice tonal range - from a saturated, colourful foreground, through the hills up to foggy background;
very very nice,
jerzy

Good work david. This vertical presentation seems a good choice for this compo with the almost endless layers of background hills. Almost a feeling one would have from a painting.

Oh, c'est joli ca! On the small thumbnail, I thought it was a interesting but blurry landscape, but I liked the colours, my curiosity is my most important trigger : lucky me, the picture is excellent, those layers of land, of colours, you show us once more that France is an especially uniquelly beautifull country.

This is a wonderfully atmospheric shot, David, and composed very well. But I am wondering whether a slight adjustment to levels might have been able to cut through the haze a little more to create a stronger contrast between the layers in the foreground, middle distance and background. Cheers . . . David

Hi David.
Today I've seen a very similar photo in TE and I must say that both pictures are the best that I've seen today.
Beautiful. Is not necessary say more. Neither say why.

Thanks for share.
