Ciao Roger,
un bookmark dove natura e architettura sono ben equilibrate.
Il prato in FG oltre a creare contrasto cromatico, aiuta a dare una buona profondità all'immagine.

Ben fatto! TFS!

Salut Roger,
Bien vu ce cadrage tout en hauteur, il t'a permis d'intégrer ce mouton avec la vue de ce village aux habitations colorées, le clocher accentue encore l'effet de hauteur.

Hi Roger

That is the lonely sheep or the lonely village hahaha, your POV and cropping make the difference, that is a really great and funny shot. Vibrant colour hues and high sharpness as well. Good photo job

Warm regard

Hello Roger,

A charming scene, with the sheep grazing just outside the town!
The church tower is nicely placed as an eye-catcher, all fine details...

Greetings,

Hi Roger,
very cute and charming bookmark. The sheep makes excellent rural foreground. It makes a contrast with the town houses behind. Very interesting architecture topped up with the spire of the church.
Very well seen and captured,

Morning Roger, a superb rural image- with the wonderful old dutch homes and church in the BG. good sharp colours and details well done Rich

PS like the experimentation with the framing

kennyblack (4139) 2011-09-18 12:13

Ciao Roger, conosco benissimo Marken e confermo che è un posto molto bello e pittoresco ma sopratutto conosciuto per i suoi formaggi di gran qualità. In questa bellissima foto hai incluso tutta una piccola Olanda. Molto ben composta e tagliata. Colori brillanti, nitidi e ben marcati.
Un saluto ... Marino

Hello Roger, I know very well Marken and confirm that it is a very beautiful and picturesque city, but mostly known for its high quality cheeses. In this beautiful picture you have included all a little Holland. Very well composed and cropped. Bright colors, sharp and well marked.
Greetings ... Marino
