Ciel surréaliste. En existe-t-il vraiment des pareils? J'aime beaucoup cette photo, tirant un peu sur une peinture.

Excellent effect with the dramatic clouds and light above the vineyard, Carlos. The composition is very good, and I can see why in that situation you would include this amount of sky. The post-processing is quite a bit here and certainly not to everybody's liking, but I can see why you chose to do it this way, and it quite enhances the drama and gives it a "painterly" feel.

Great composition Carlos! What a great sky efects you managed to get here..the trees on the left help on the balance of the all image and increase its interest. Good job :)

J'ai une impression bizzare, on dirait qu'il s'agit de deux photos différentes, une pour le ciel et l'autre pour le premier plan, s'agit il d'un photomontage ?

Great colors. I like the post-processing on the sky. It's a lot but it really adds to the photo. The dramatic feel is incredible. It's like there's some kind of presence in the sky. All the clouds seem to be collecting to that bright smooth cloud in the center like it's God appearing on Earth. It has that type of powerful feel. Especially in contrast with the beautiful green of the landscape. I think it's nice and even if it isn't exactly what the day looked like it still give and idea or maybe what the day felt like. Nicely done.

So pastoral and dramatic and well balanced as well as vivid colored panoramic view. Stormy and full of emotion cloudy sky against sleepy pastoral fields, centered sun against unscented tree – just perfect!
Grate picture Carlos!!

Well done! Goes to favorites..

This is life imitating art.
See
http://www.artunframed.com/images/sept/cornfieldsc.jpg
There's an even more striking resemblance to another famous European painting. The name of the painter & the work escapes me. It was a mass of dark swirling clouds, possibly in Spain & a war or battle comes to mind. Lots of dark blue & dark green in the image. Does anyone know which painting I mean ? I had a quick look at Gaudi, Cezanne, Van Gogh but couldn't find it.
Got it ! El Greco - "Toledo"

Stunning image! Athough the post-processing may be polemic (to me it's great), the main thing is that your compostion and POV is excelent. The trees at the left are a good starting point to focus the vision and then the landscape opens to a grand view created by the the vineyards and the sky.

WOW, what a great sky. I like the way the the trees on the left seems to be looking at the sky (thus giving the balance to the shot). Great shot.

Surreal and dramatic. While the clouds looked so artistically surreal, the landscape below it, has a Tuscany/Mediterranean feel to it. This is really a photographic art.

No doubt that this image is a pleasure to the eyes. Obviously this is the combination of two photo, we can see the light and shadows on the clouds is different and since is against TE rules to have heavy post processed photos I have the duty to leave a no smile.

(4005) 2004-11-03 21:34
The sky in this image is absolutely out of this world, if I had seen better sky before I certainly don't remember it. The image could very well go for some kind of religious painting, just clone in an angel or a symbol and you could pretent to be 16th century painter.
The only thing I am not crazy about is the halo between the land and the sky.

Some notes...?
I find the photo interesting, but I can't help but wonder if you are overlaying two photos on top of each other. The sky seems like a combination of two skies. odd, intersting, but good...? I suppose it depends on your tastes, but I find it looks fake. Like some of the others I would have liked to see the original, and if not a few notes to explain it.

Excellent effect with the dramatic clouds and light above the vineyard, Carlos. The composition is very good, and I can see why in that situation you would include this amount of sky. The post-processing is quite a bit here and certainly not to everybody's liking, but I can see why you chose to do it this way, and it quite enhances the drama and gives it a "painterly" feel.

It's interesting, but the HDR effect is a bit too over the top. Where it meets the horizon is really messy.
