This version is definitely sharper, but without a compare feature like with WSs it's difficult to detect the other differences. I really like it though and enjoy all the red poppies in the field.

Hi John, very interesting to repost this one after collecting some additional experience in PP. THe previous post really lacks of brightness and is also a little bit to soft. This one now has this falws corrected. I have the impression that you might have overdone the sharpness. There are some artifacts mainly on the roofs and the mountains in the bg. The composition and colors are beautiful.
Regards, Peter

Bonjour John,
Très belle composition, agréable à regarder, faisant bien ressortir l'ambiance provençale de cette région. La maitrise de la lumière est bonne car les couleurs ressortent bien malgré un éclairage pas très évident. Un seul tout petit petit reproche qui concerne la maison de droite beaucoup trop moderne dans ce paysage, mais tu n'y es pour rien.
A bientôt sur TE pour de nouvelles aventures.

Hi John,

The Mont Ventoux always spectacular, but very famous by the cyclist in the "Tour de France"
I find the foreground very lovely with the flowers, too the rows of the vineyard gives a excellent depth, very well composition too! TFS.

Greetings,
John.

Hi John,
A very good composition. In digital especially, I find that given the limitations of this site as to quality, landscapes involving grasses and trees and fields are particularly difficult to render to a visually pleasing good quality. This shot meets the test, with the poppies in the field really enhancing, while the post helps balance and anchor the shot. The buildings are well seen, the sky is textured and alluring, and the photo generally a little better in result than the previous image. Very fine work, John.

Hi John,
Had a look at the two and enjoyed comparing them as they are both good.I think I like this one better as it has more clarity, better light and lovely colours.I may have taken a step to the right to get in the line of vines but thats just a matter of taste.A lovely cut and composition and I like your choice of frame.Great stuff....take care.

Very nice scene, very typical Provence! Traditional tile roofs, poppies in the fields--it takes me back to my visit there, wish I could go again!

I think you improved the color over the last version, John, which had a reddish cast. It also seems sharper.

Regards, Ken.

Hi John.
Well, that's not so far from home (150-200Km), so I won't say I don't like the picture!
;o)
in fact I really like it because of its bucolic aspect, and the very quiet atmosphere that characterizes it. The combination between the poppy field and vineyards makes it very "provençal". It's a nice area, indeed.
Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards.

Hi John:

The repost is much better. I agree with Ken that there was a slight reddish cast. I think the colors in this one seem much more real--in fact, the overall image seems much truer to what it would look like. I love the perspective looking down the fence line. Thanks for sharing.

Hi John
Very pretty scenery with the mixture of vines and poppies contrasting well against the dark sky. It's good you reposted as the colours look more natural, the sky more dramatic and it's a lot sharper.
Regards
Nikki
