Hello Paolo,

Nice title for the eight cypress above the dark foreground.
Almost a dream image with the wonderful pink sky.
Very well composition. Thanks for sharing

Have a nice weekend,
John.

This one I really like, Paolo, the immense crimson sky combined with the black silhouettes creates a sinister mood here...

Cheers

excellent shot, Paolo, the rich red background works well with the distinct black silhouettes to create a somewhat menacing mood. love the minimalist composition and how you've left the dramatic sky to dominate over the landscape, I find it futher emphasises the mood of the shot. very well seen and presented.
best,
Kristine

Ciao Paolo
a minimalist compo with the silhouetted trees and houses which stand out nicely against the warm colors of the sky. Nice contrast and framing.

Bonjour Paolo,
Une très belle image artistique et hors du commun.
Pesonnellement, j'aurais enlevé tous les points blancs de cette image. elle aurais gagné en pureté.
Mais, ce n'est que mon avis.
Amitiés.

Hello Paolo,
What an attractive composition!
The eight trees are the real eye-catchers, however small they are...
The warm sunset colours are amazing, image is well composed with a good division of the frame!
Greetings,
