Spring Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Earth teach me to forget myself as melted snow forgets its life.

Earth teach me resignation as the leaves which die in the fall.

Earth teach me courage as the tree which stands all alone.

Earth teach me regeneration as the seed which rises in the Spring.

Wonderful capture of this scenery telling us how beautiful our world is for us to conserve and protect from ourselves. Thanks for sharing Stella.

Lovely scene, but the colors are devoid of contrast and seem desaturated.

See my workshop.

TFS!

Ciao Stella,
uno stupendo spettacolo primaverile: terra, mare e cielo con presenze diverse: qui è la terra che predomina, con il suo manto fiorato. Il mare è una linea tranquilla, il cielo assiste quasi sorridente allo spettacolo.
Buona Pasqua
Antonio

Ciao Stella.
Soggetto apparentemente facile, privo di elementi verticali, privo di elementi di primo piano. Ma le ricette migliori si fanno con pochi ingredienti e la tua capacità espressiva ti ha permesso di fare una foto che mostra poco ma che comunica molto.
Ciao.
Bobo.

Bonjour Stella,
les couleurs magiques, c'est ce qui plait le plus en arrivant sur la photo. Ces petites fleurs disséminées partout donnent un tapis aux teintes surprenantes.
Beaucoup de profondeur avec un horizon bien placé au 1/3.
Le ciel est aussi de toute beauté.
Kind regards.
Daniel.

Hello Stella,
A superb perspective over this mass of wild flowers. I like the inclusion of the strip of sea and sky, which make a pleasing tonal contrast. Also, the soft natural colours. Excellent sharpness from back to front.

Compliments, Christian

saxo042 (15102) 2009-04-14 13:58

Hi Stella,
These flowers cover the ground just like a pink carpet. The harmony between these flowers and the sky is very good. And the horizon is exactly at one third of the picture...
Kind regards
Gunnar

Questo foto è un vero tripudio di colore ed uno splendido omaggio alla primavera. Nonostante questo, il mare è una presenza importante.
Buona notte

Good morning dear Stella

Indeed the title says it all. Spring at its best. Wonderful colors and the wide angle has given a great sky. Really impressive, Stella

The borrowed wide angle lens served you well to capture the sea of wild flowers merging with the Mediterranean. Wonderful note to augment the image. Warm regards, Stella,

Geia sou Stella!]

This is one of the most impressive "portraits" of spring I have ever seen! Fantastic wide angle feeling, great converging imaginary lines, great composition, framing and perspective! Flawless light managment and beautiful colours! Congratulations!

Ciao,Hercules

Hi Stella, how are you?
What a pleasure to see a beautiful picture!
This note is really very useful and meaningful!
A frame full of faith, hope and charity!

Warm regards,
Athanasios.

A smell from spring fills your photo dear Stella.
Excellent POV gives the feeling from flying on top of the wonderful, full of flowers place.
Good choice the use of the "wide angle" lens, gives the sense of vastness.
I wish you nice spring and summer time.
Kostas

dawekato (1986) 2009-05-03 8:23

It's hard to know which image to critique in your wonderful gallery. You are obviously an accomplished photography. I love this simple scene and subtle colours. Good composition with horizon 1/3 from top. Dramatic sky. Just a few nit-picky suggestions: please straighten the horizon, it slants down to the left. There is some "noise" in the picture, which can be carefullly removed by cloning or using "Neat Image". Putting a hairline black "keyline" around the image between the photo and the white frome would prevent the picture blending in with the frame and set off nicely. Also, if I had my 'ruthers, I would make the colours a bit more intense. Hope you don't mind my suggestions. :)

Hi Stella,
An immense sea of pink flowers with a thin strip of real sea in the distance, everything with a scenic sky. It's a beautiful photo, an great image of Spring with some originality.
