Wow David...amazing photo! The hill exposed to the different shades and sunlight is so beautiful. The colors are stunning and the overall image is absolutely beautiful. I also like how the green scenery stands out so brightly against the dark threatening sky. Well done!

Beautiful colours in this one Dave. I like the way you have caught the sun on the hill. Judging by the sky I hope you were wearing your waterproofs!

Philippe (11836) 2005-12-19 15:42

Hello, David. There is a very nice light in this photograph. The different hues of green stand out very well against the dark grey sky. I also like the countless sheep grazing which give the scale to your picture.

Henryk_Bilor (20797) 2005-12-19 15:50

It would be an average image for me, but the full of light chessboard on the hill looks beautiful.
You hit the right time to take the photo :)

Hi David,
What a marvellous composition! This shot will induce me to try the Raw mode. Great clarity, contrast and subtle hues from a superb POV. This is very pleasing, first rate work. All the best.

An amazing colourful scene.Such a variation in the greens. Grazing sheep in field add scale. Great contrasting sky. Definitely Wales at its best.

Hi David
Beautiful landscape. The sun lights up the middle part of the field, providing a luminious effect.
A well composed shot with vibrant color.
Well done, David, and Merry Christmas.

Cormac (26545) 2005-12-19 22:33

Great one David! The green of the fields is so fresh and vibrant, it really makes this look alive. The sun mixed with shadowed areas makes this very interesting to look at, and the use of the ND filter to bring the sky down worked well. Great work!

Hi David!
Nice green landscape with dramatic sky.

feather (51128) 2005-12-20 7:36

You had superb lighting to create this effect; it's amazing how the light is picking out the main hill and it's quality is adding the warm tone. Well composed and timed.

wilkinsonsg (8662) 2005-12-20 11:42

A very nice light falls on the main part of this image - the greens are almost 'acid' in their intensity, great! - TFS :)

r_bodenschatz (134) 2005-12-20 16:57

Congratulation for capturing the landscape in the right moment i.e. with the right lighting under this weather conditions. I personally can't really believe that the photo was taken this month (in Dezember). Being in Central Europe the scene appears more like early springtime to me because the trees are so green.

PJE (20756) 2005-12-20 19:07

David...wonderufl..simply wonderful lighting in this scene. Excellent vantage point too. A very good photo in capturing the light!

jsec (2122) 2005-12-20 22:00

Your best work yet. I wish I could have taken this myself. The hill has a light that makes it almost 3D. Superb.

Galmeida (12559) 2005-12-21 13:06

Hi David,
Thanks for sharing and congratulations with this nice landscape and great atmosphere capture that you present us. Also excelent simphony of greens like my previous post with a imnpressive blue-grey sky and a great capture of the mood light contrasting of the nature moment. Clear picture, quality and a excelent enquadrement of nature.

Excelent colors and a great perspective so well framed. Congratulations and Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for your Seascape shots that are wonderful also.

Hello Dave,
Great lighting here, I like the way the sunlit parts of the landscape add life to the image! Good composition and lines, colours and textures likewise... The white dots in the meadow to the right side... are they possibly sheep?

Hi david,

what a landscape! Great colors. I can see the shadows of the clouds on the land...

Hi David
amazing light on this landscape !!
I am a little less convinced by the composition: the foreground is a little dark and does not seem to me useful, or as beautiful as the remainder of the image
Would be necessary it crop into panomramic can be?

the color of the sky is superb
