Fields of Castilla XIX Photo

Photographer’s Note

El hombre de estos campos que incendia los pinares
y su despojo aguarda como botín de guerra,
antaño hubo raído los negros encinares,
talado los robustos robledos de la sierra.
Hoy ve sus pobres hijos huyendo de sus lares;
la tempestad llevarse los limos de la tierra
por los sagrados ríos hacia los anchos mares;
y en páramos malditos trabaja, sufre y yerra.

Fragmento del poema "Por tierras de España" de Antonio Machado de su libro de poemas "Campos De Castilla".

Dos WS.
--------------------------------------

The man in these fields to pine forests on fire
dispossession and looks as war booty,
There were once frayed black oak,
the sturdy oak harvested from the highlands.
Today sees the poor children fleeing their dollars;
The storm carried the silt from the land
by the sacred rivers to the wide seas;
and cursed paramos works, suffers and misses.

Excerpt from the poem "On the lands of Spain" by Antonio Machado in his book of poems "Campos De Castilla.

Two WS.

Ciao Charo,
una immagine che colpisce principalmente per il contrasto tra il colore giallo dei campi e quello grigio del cielo.

Ottimo lo sharp!

Hola Charo,
First of all, I think you should have signed your name on the image. A beautiful and warm image of this region. The rolling hillsides and the colorful flowers in the foreground allows one to rest at ease and feel the warmth the landscape offers.
Excellent view into your side of the world...

snunney (34656) 2009-03-09 3:57

Hello Charo,
The dramatic and stormy sky makes a superb contrast with the landscape as we look across towards the little village. The framing of the wild flowers adds some additional splashes of colour and contributes to the mood. Superb sharpness throughout. Very pleasing image to contemplate for a while.

Hola Charo!

Una pasada tu colección de campos de Castilla, esa especie de pastos que marca una línea central en la imagen me parece que queda muy bien.

Saludos y gracias por tu galeria!
Alberto

Greg1949 (8507) 2009-03-09 9:25

Charo, this is AWESOME, the composition is great and the color and detail are fantastic. The dramatic sky caps it off perfectly and makes the red flowers into an act of defiance against a much larger adversary. Great capture.

Greg

sacimar (7375) 2009-03-09 10:01

Charo,

gran paisaje y esplendida fotografia, muy buena nitidez y me gustan los tonos que capturaste, buen trabajo!

Hola mi amiga Charo,

Amazing colors and their tones on oak fields. You saw perfectly the colorful flowered part at foreground. I liked also next empty fields and trees on hill under dark sky. Fantastic scene with its complementary post too. Congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Friendly Regards,

Ertugrul

lousat (15302) 2009-03-09 15:30

Ciao Charo,il sole che illumina i campi e le nuvole scure sono sempre un cocktail perfetto per creare magnifici scatti come questo,complimenti per l'ottimo tempo di esposzione e per i colori spettacolare,buon Martedi',Luciano

gunbud (27779) 2009-03-09 16:11

Hi Charo,
Beautiful spring time scene with the lovely red wild flowers leading the eye gently to the amber fields and distant hills.
The trees at the top of the hill contrast nicely with the stormy sky. Beautiful poem to go with this fine image.
Regards, Tom

belido (16331) 2009-03-09 17:38

Hola mi amiga,

há muito tempo que não confiro sua galeria. Difícil é a escolha de uma para comentar. Está uma beleza esse campo florido em um dia de céu carregado. Composição primorosa, belas cores e nitidez. Parabéns!
Saludos,
Carlos

papagolf21 (56217) 2009-03-10 1:40

Bonjour, mon amie Charo,
Trois belles images très picturales. La joliesse de l'ensemble est manifeste à travers ces compositions.
Le ciel lourd accentue la beauté de l'ensemble.
J'aime le mois de mai !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Witaj, bardzo ładne miejsce. Ciekawie je zaprezentowałaś, czuję się jakbym tam był patrząc na to zdjęcie - pozdrowienia Piotrek

sunamoon (5057) 2009-03-10 9:48

Hola Charo,

Las extensiones de terreno que hay en las dos castillas son preciosas, un fuerte contraste de colores y grafismo, hacen de tu compo una maravilla para la vista, me encanta ese cielo y esa profunidad, buen trabajo!

Un abrazo,
Elena

stego (22350) 2009-03-10 12:01

Hola Charo,
Esta tu serie no para de aumentar y la calidad media no baja ni un poco. Es el tipo de foto que muchos asocian a Toscania, pero tu lo pruebas que Castilla no es menos pintoresca. Linda paleta de colores de una Primavera cuasi en el fin, con el dramatismo acentuado por el cielo de tormenta.
Como en las otras, el poema de las notas es lindo y se adecua muy bien a la foto.
Saludos, José.

josepmarin (33785) 2009-03-10 13:28

Hola amiga Charo,
ya sabes mi debilidad por los paisajes de esos campos de Castilla, y en este caso la escena primaveral con las amapolas pintando de rojo el oro de las espigas, con un cielo absolutamente dramático y muy estético, nos dan una gran sensación de tranquilidad y un bonito aspecto de pintura. El resultado es muy grande, y nos hace desear que la primavera llegue de una vez para disfrutarla.
Bella foto, y buenas fotos complementarias, como de costumbre.
Un fuerte abrazo para los dos,
Pili y Josep
PS: la pregunta sobre la torre en la crítica a mi foto es que es una de las cuatro torres de las esquinas de la Plaza de Toros Monumental.

yso (3185) 2009-03-11 12:36

Hi Charo,
What a beautiful light and landscape ! I like the composition with the foreground of flower, well done.

Yves

denisn72 (6971) 2009-03-11 13:08

Hello Charo
You chose an excellent point of view. The field is vaste and colourful. The red flowers in the foreground are awesome. The dramatic sky, the different colors and the sharpness are excellent. Nice composition. Well done!
Best regards
Denis!

Vasa (5384) 2009-03-11 18:00

Nice, so nice visual poem, dear Charo. The first colorful plan and the last so dramatic. I am proud of your work, dear friend.

So glad to see you again this evening,

Branko

sacavem (8225) 2009-03-12 15:02

Olá Charo,

Muito bonita esta tua foto da Primavera do ano passado.A luminosidade no 1º plano é excelente. No geral a composição é muito bonita. Estes campos de Castilla que tu nos tens mostrado são uma beleza.
Filipe

PixelTerror (86038) 2009-03-14 6:06

Hola Charo
There's a nice spring feeling from the poppies and for the rest the contrast of the light on the field against the dark stormy cloud creates that essential dramatic atmosphere.
Saludos JY

Philippe (11769) 2009-03-14 13:22

Hi, Charo. A very nice rural landscape. The flowers in the foreground add a nice touch of colours. The trees are well placed in your composition at the top of the rolling fields. The grey sky allows the scene to stand out very well.
Have a nice weekend,
Philippe

marietom (31800) 2009-03-15 7:15

hello Charo,

La lumière est superbe, et la composition très réussie.
Bon dimanche

vincz (19039) 2009-03-15 10:23

Very nice wide lanscape with beautiful colors under this grey sky. Great catch.

Jakab (3450) 2009-03-18 8:07

Hello Charo,
nothing curious but very nice! All the three parts (flowers, wheat field with trees on the slope, sky) have nice and exciting details, together a harmonic and inviting landscape. The flowers in the foreground give an excellent addition.
Congratulations!
Laszlo

COSTANTINO (22551) 2009-03-24 11:46

Hello Charo
Here we are again..A fantastic shot like a picture of painter..You took colours from your palette and created a wonderful landscape..
The fantastic grey clouds into the sky give a particular dramatic tone to this scenery..
regards and greetings
Costantino

adramad (3522) 2009-03-24 12:04

Hola Charo.
Una preciosa fotografia en horizontal con un colorido y contraste logradisimo, las amapolas en primer termino y ese cielo amenazador dan mucha fuerza a la composicion.

meltemi (9746) 2009-03-30 13:45

Hola Charo,
you did a great job with the sky , I love the beautiful strong natural colors and how they interact with the empty spaces. The air feels so fresh, so pure. I love the yellow and orange colours brought by the flower. Your country hills are so nice at that time of the year.
All the best.
Stella
