Yellow and green for Maria, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

I dedicated this one to my friend Maria Ja Barbosa (siamesa) sorry for Brazil

In the background the church of San Brizio.
The present building dates from the first half of the twelfth century.
The original facade remains the elegant mullioned Central. The interior has three naves divided by columns and pillars, some materials are reused from Roman buildings. The chancel is divided from the nave by an impressive triumphal arch.
The crypt four aisles reflects the pattern of the crypts of St. Pontian and San Gregorio Maggiore in Spoleto.

That's a perfect composition. Incredible land of sunflowers, magic light and rural buildings. Very beautiful.

Mari63 (4085) 2010-07-09 6:58

Ciao Silvio, un mare di girasoli così bello e caldo ti fa venire voglia di passeggiarci dentro. Eccellente la prospettiva. La chiesa e il cielo nuvoloso sullo sfondo contrastano, con la loro tonalità, con i colori dei girasoli. Stupenda! Ciao Mari

Ciao Silvio
splendida prospettiva creata dalle file ordinate dei girasoli che conduce alla chiesa lassù, illuminata da un bel raggio di luce fra le nubi. Perfetta nitidezza, POV eccezionale
Buon weekend
Letizia

besnard (48787) 2010-07-09 8:00

Hello silvio,
Sunflowers in soft light, darker beautiful colours and the village profiled in the far, a fine combination, well done.
Regards,
Paul

francio64 (38188) 2010-07-09 12:45

Questa volta mi lasci senza parole caro Silvio.
Immagine di grande pregio con un ottimo taglio verticale e perfette simmetrie.
L'atmosfera un pò minacciosa rende affascinante la scena.
I girasoli in primo piano arricchiscono la nota compositiva, mente i successivi oltre a dare profondità alla scena, creano anche un bel grafismo.

Complimenti!
La inserisco tra le mie preferite.

grigand (18583) 2010-07-09 13:05

Ciao Silvio,
Luce veramente difficile, ma hai realizzato un perfetto compromesso, i fiori non sono splendenti ma il cielo non è troppo sovraesposto, stupenda la prospettiva.
ciao
andrea

paololg (31442) 2010-07-09 14:07

A parte i colori del Brasile, trovo che questa immagine sia veramente stupenda. Sentirti osservato da tutti questi occhi messi in fila deve essere molto piacevole, come lo è questa immagine. Bravissimo!
Ciao, passa un buon fine settimana!
Paolo

Fantastica Silvio! le righe dei girasoli che si uniscono sullo sfondo conducono piacevolmente lo sguardo sopra il campo. bellissimo il tutto a fuoco su tutto il fotogramma. i fiori in primo piano sembrano guardare al di qua dell'obiettivo:-))) molto, molto bella. un caro saluto
Simo

AKITA (15125) 2010-07-09 19:31

dear Silvio,
wow,
a splendid view shot of numerous sunflowers and elegant church,
the faces of sunflowers are lovely so much, and their whole lined figure is beautiful too,
the church with sharp tower looks picturesque beside the yellow yard and below the cloudy sky,
I see it becomes the season of sunflower there, it is mid summer really,
thank you for your excellent shot,
Akihisa

Ciao Silvio,
this is an excellent composition! The sunflowers make incredible foreground which stretches deep into the frame and leads eye to the pretty church in the distance. Rays of light nicely penetrate the clouds.
Very well done! Congratulations,
M

batalay (32860) 2010-07-10 6:45

Ciao Silvio,

Superb capture of the field of sunflowers, and lurking in the back the medieval church with the tall steeple. From composition to exposure, it is a masterpiece.

Warm regards, and enjoy the weekend.

Ciao Silvio!
Bellissima!
Those sunflowers are so beautiful and your picture is truly wonderful! Together with them, the church in the bg and that divinal sky are all very attractive too!
Sharpness, exposure, pov, dof, colors, pp, contrasts, vertical format, black borders and, above all, composition are all excellent!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Ciao Silvio, Bellissima, Vincent Van Gogh sarebbe orgolioso di questa stupenda foto, l'avrebbe tenuta come propria, magnifica la prospettiva & nitidezza. Cosa altro posso dire, per conto mio una delle tue migliori, un capolavoro, complimenti.
Ciao
Santo

ellelloo (6570) 2010-07-13 8:50

Ciao Silvio,
A fantastic POV and composition. The close-ups of the sunflowers and the great perspective effect created by the rows of them are just lovely! The clouds with the rays of sun penetrating though them is very expressive. A well seen and presented view from your city Spoleto. TFS!
Saluti e buona serata,
Lasse

jonathan_hart (21268) 2010-07-15 9:13

ikeharel (37316) 2010-10-25 9:40

Fantastico, Silvio.
Great dof on this sunflower field, actually, I'd divide the image into 2 pictures: The lower part that will have only fg of field - than an upper part field with church's.
Very beautiful, Buona-sera,
Ike
