Hello Chris,
Fine landscape composition with superb depth to it. I like the way the roads sweep their way through toward the distant mountains. The unusual fiery colours make for a most interesting mood.

Hello Chris,
We get here a very deep image of this beautiful valley from an effective point of view. It's a nice composition, but somehow there is something wrong with the colours, the light doesn't look natural. I tried a workshop with some colour correction to get rid of some of the yellow and red and brighten up the overall image. Let me know what you think.
Kind regards,
Christian

Bonjour Chris,
C'est très impressionnant comme paysage qui se dévoile sous nos yeux. Une grande netteté de détails malgré la lumière difficile à gérer. J'aime la texture que tu as su donner à l'ensemble.
Bon samedi

Hello Chris,
You're capturing well this landscape by a goodangle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see the beautiful flat valley surrounded some mountains. It is impressive that many roads cross cultivated land of a valley and many low trees are planted in here, too.
Kind regards,

Ciao Chris
questa che proponi agli amici di TE è una rappresentazione abbastanza insolita della Grecia che siamo abituati a vedere con le sue case bianche di calce e l'azzurro intenso del mare, ma non per questo meno bella.
Anche nella tua c'è un paesaggio maestoso nel quale domina il colore intenso della terra. La composizione è buona, così come è bello il soggetto.
Unica pecca una dominante di colore che si nota essenzialmente nel cielo nel quale le nuvole assumono una colorazione poco realistica e si ripercuote, anche se in misura minore sull'intero paesaggio.
Ciao e buona settimana
Romano

The view down is clever. The composition is well chosen, with excellent combination of light and colors and perfect deep depth of field. The overall composition with the fields and gardens between the hills is very good. Bravo. Have a nice day.

Kalimera Chris,
From a high place on a mountain, you managed to show a beautiful lay valley at you feet.
Checkered fields and road crosses, and leads the sight as far as the high mountains ridge.
There is slight red tone in excess - but not a grand issue.
The location is wonderful, I guess diff. colors can be photograph on diff. hour of a day.
Regards,
Ike

Hi Chris,
The length of the valley is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the valley and of the mountains. The light has a good effect on the colors. Have a nice day.

Καλησπέρα Χρήστο,
η υπερυψωμένη οπτική γωνία προσφέρει ένα εκπληκτικό πανόραμα του κάμπου και των βουνών που τον περιβάλλουν. Το βάθος και η καταγραφή των λεπτομερειών είναι πολύ εντυπωσιακά και πραγματικά απορροφούν τον θεατή. Η χρωματική χρειά είναι ασυνήθιστη και δημιουργεί μαι ατμόσφαιρα δραματική. Μου αρέσει πολύ το πώς ισορρόπησες τη σύνθεση. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό βράδυ,
Ουρανία

Hello Chris,
You really have chosen a fine viewpoint to capture this shot. The roads snake through the vally and it is so easy to see where human habitations have affected the landscape. By contrast, the mountains are rugged and forbidding.
I do have to agree with Christian about the colours. Somehow they are wrong from the light. The w/s addresses the problem, for me.
Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Yassous Chris
This is quite a view you got here. Superb wide vista over the Peleponnes, a region I have driven trough so often, as my parents have emigrated to Monemvasia some 18 years ago.
But what happend to the colors here? They seem to be a bit orange. I think Chrislo's version works better. It is still a stunningly beautiful view.
have a good evening

Hi Chris,
Although the Workshop photo displays more natural colors, I think I actually prefer the posted version. Because of the change in tones, it takes on a somewhat antique appearance, something from maybe 20+ years ago...and I do really like how it altered the color in the sky, giving that "fiery" doom. :)Great perspective looking out over the valley, and well composed to bring balance to both sides of the frame. Very nicely done. Have a great day.
Cheers,
Jason

Hi Chris,
Great POV on this field-chequered valley, well surrounded by a number of hills and criss-crossed by roads that lead the eye to the horizon.
I like Chrislo's effort in his WS, but I suppose your warm colours are due to the time of the evening setting the sky on fire.
Warm regards.
Marie-Louise.

A commanding and very beautiful view of this impressive valley. I like what you have done with the sky, perhaps using a graduated filter? Lovely colours and good sense of scale. Those houses look so small in contrast to the huge mountains. Thanks for sharing, have a beautiful evening.
