Photographer’s Note

the resort town of Eureka Springs, Ar.
The sky was clearing and it was fantastic. I finally managed to convince my friend who was driving to stop the car at the first rest area. Not everybody in the car understood what I found so interesting, but I believe you will agree with me, right???

Beautiful picture Behrang.
The sky with the clouds is really impressive, the colours and composition is very good.
You captured it in the precise moment.Good DOF.
The red fence in the left distract a little bit, but it doesn't change the quality of the picture.
Well done.

Fantastic colours of the foreground but the most amazing is the sky with this incredible clouds - they create interesting diagonal perspective in the image.

Excellent picture - love the cloud formation and the colour -

You just have to stop the car when you see something like this! :-)

A bit underexposed B. But still working very well. I like the bold saturated colours, the fine landscape with the great trees, all backed by the very blue clouded sky. Absolute a situation where the polarizer works at the best. Could also be (looking more to the details) that having the trees a little bit more to the left in the compo and open up the landscape at right could have been ok too.

Hi Behrang,
Nice colors and framing.
Contrast is almost too strong.

aferrao (1074) 2005-07-12 7:23

Good composition and sky!
The trees seems a litle too dark, but I still like it anyway.
Good shot!
Greatings, Artur.

Hi Behrang, I feel the wind is blowing from left to right since one of the trees has been bending to the side already. A nicely saturated color in this picture. I like the clouds in this picture, as the clouds are always to your favor in your pictures :D. Well done.

Bonjour Behrang.
Je ne sais pas si un jour j'arriverai à de tels contrastes avec mon matériel pourtant assez proche du tien.
Ton ciel est divin, contrasté au maximum.
Les couleurs assez saturées.
J'aime énormément.
Daniel.

Hola Behrang
Precioso paysage, me encantan esos colores y las nubes que precen tener cola de luz.
Fantastico
Saludos

Behrang, you need to ride around with better photographers! This is an awesome landscape, with a very dramatic sky.
Well done!

Hi Behrang. Clearly you are the only one with a good eye in the car! Everything is great, especially the sky and clouds. Maybe lighten the area over the trees but that's the only thing I see. Good one Behrang!!!

sergecross (3438) 2005-07-12 22:56

Behrang, i think your picture is nice, but needs standard saturation, anyway this one contains a good theme and is very nice. Good colors and point of view.

Fixfocus (9377) 2005-07-13 11:45

Hi Behrang,
The strong colors are the result of the dark lightmood and good exposure control.The contrast between the yellow meadow in the foreground and the dark blus sky is great.
greetings,
hermann

Hi Behrang. Ah yes, convincing others in the car to stop when you spot a worthy pic. Photography is the politics of opportunism and no more so than when the lighting is ideal. This is well composed, with great lighting and a dynamic sky, with rich hues and contrasts. I especially like the red fence/pen to the left and how it enhances with its shape and colour. Well captured, and a worthy highway stop indeed.

Hi Behrang,
What a great scenery, with great colours and excellent dramatic sky. I like the dark lighting and the whole atmosphere of the composition. Great work, I love it!

Regards John

Hi Behrang,
Yeah, I do understand why you wanted to stop here, it looks great! Wonderful colours and what a beautiful sky. Really lovely landscape, well done.
Groetjes,
Lars

dsidwell (9745) 2005-07-16 22:30

Very dramatic use of color and tone here, Behrang! I love the dark, dramatic feel to this. Nice work!

Steft (5962) 2005-07-17 7:16

Oh yes I understand why you wanted to stop, Behrang. It is a very nice and dramatic landscape. The colours are very nice, the clouds on the sky are very beautiful, but some part of the photo seem a bit dark. Apart from that: very well seen! I like it a lot!

jpages (1670) 2005-07-19 18:38

Yes Behrang! I stop the car if it is possible, to look better the landscapes, the sky... and sometimes to take a photo like you did here. I understand your position, but I see you finally managed it well to get the photo.
I like it, this landscape has a certain kind of power, by its light, colours, contrasts, spotted sky... great! Give my thanks to your driver friend for stopping there!
Best regards.

capthaddock (28640) 2005-07-23 11:12

Hi Behrang - the different layers of cloud cover look superb, and the composition is great, yes, to people not interested in photography this would look like a bunch of nothing to be driven past at 90mph.

julie_huno (97) 2006-03-31 21:44

Amazing... the color and the texture, the sky!!! WOW

zuljin (56) 2006-09-05 4:52

Hello Berhang,

Even amateurs like I am could say that colours and coposition give really impressive efect.

Since I do not se shadows on the photo I`m curioous where was the light source ... I meen the position of the sun?

doc (0) 2006-09-05 5:11

Dont mind dear--the clouds look unnatural.The foreground seems restful,then what is the need of so drammatic sky?Your opinion???

sevman13 (553) 2007-02-17 13:13

hi,
a little too saturated maybe but the impression is great!
excellent POV with sense of humor.
well done

hi behrang
you have a picture vrey impresive the sky is good but have a other impact the trees in the
foreground are too dark and very contrasted ---on my screen of course... but it s well a problem of this filtre which can make the best and olso this effect always make on photo with pola and one without . frendly says Henri former teacher in photo Belgium to read you or see you again
