Ciao Paolo
I like the symmetry, between the 2 rows of poplar trees, & their graphism, in this superb b&w image. Good sharpness, tonal range, shadow detail, & lighting contrasts. Tfs!

Bello questo paesaggio tipicamente tiscano Cipressi, campi, e strade serpeggianti.
Mi piace anche la scelta del B&W.

Hi Paolo,
The tones, contrast, and texture in this photo is very good ... essential ingredient for a B&W. Curves and lines are also subtly define creating a very pleasing visual effect. Well processed and composed. Well done! tfs

Cher ami Paolo,
Ah ! une photo en noir et blanc qui rend bien hommage à la beauté du paysage. Cela me rappelle des images de nos livres de géographie montrant l'Italie.
Superbe photographie.
Joyeuses fêtes de Noël.
Amitiés.

Ciao Paolo,
un'inusuale, ma effettiva immagine dalla Toscana. Ottimo il punto di ripresa che esalta il gioco di luci ed ombre tra i cipressi e offre una splendida prospettiva. Bravo.
Saluti.

Il paesaggio toscano é tipico...la versione bianconera meno...tuttavia altrettanto affascinante perché ci porta a tralasciare i contrasti cromatici made in toscana per concentrarci sulle morbide curve delle colline, i giochi di ombre e le geometrie degli uliveti!
ciao

Not your typical presentation, Paolo, but by removing the color, you have us to appreciate the composition better. The long shadows and the lines created by the roads and the different planes are very appealing. Ciao,

Ah Paolo,
that's very well done, a b/w of a pure Tuscany view. Makes us enjoy even more the way these terraces are composed, the cypresses are giving a great graphism, you even have their shadows...Nice textures and strong light give it a lot of mood. Bello.
Ciao

hi paolo
the long shadows and the black cypress are very appealing, i would like to see the picture in colours but your choice is certainly the best to post this one in b&w.
ciao

Si Paolo, mi piace molto il sentimento toscano. Bellissimi anche lo spazio ben definito perche´ l´orizzonte non si vede e naturalmente, le ombre .
Bravo, ciao Christian

Hi Paolo,
Interesting decision on B&W, i wonder why you preferred to hide the green touch.
But it is also nice how your conversion makes emphasize on the contrasts and the cypress trees become distinctive. I like the long shades...
Cheers,
Deniz

Bravissimo Paolo!
Con quel verde che fa venire l'acquolina per quanto è puro, hai fatto uno scatto in controtendenza virando in B/N. Molto coraggio, molto merito per uno scatto originale quanto ben realizzato. Complimenti

Ciao Paolo,
I colori della Valle di Orcia sono così belli che uno esita sempre a fare il nero e bianco. Lei riuscì la scommessa!
Le ombre dei cipressi sono specialmente straordinarie.
Anno molto buono e felice per Lei e la Sua famiglia.

Hola Paolo,
Curiosa e inusual la elección del blanco y negro para un típico paisaje toscano. Excelentes los contrastes de los cipreses y de sus sombras con el resto del paisaje. Una imagen efectiva y muy sugerente.
Auguri,
