Yellow wineyard Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took this picture 2 weeks ago in Napa valley, the vine making region of California. I was surprised how different it looks during the winter, the yellow colza replacing the grapes.

Nice shot. I like the composition you've chosen looking down the row. It's too bad the electrical pole and wires can be seen in the background.

Bonjour Marie
Attention de ne pas vexer nos amis Jurassien avec un tel titre ! C'est plutot "Yellow wineyard" qui convient. Et Les couleurs sont étonnantes pour des vignes et le but recharché est atteint
Cordialement

Excellente photo, le colza est toujours joli sur image. Etrange quand même qu'il y en ait autant dans les vignes.
Beau paysage.

Salut Marie,
C'est orignal et bien réussi. J'aime aussi la parabole formée par les branches qui se tendent la main!
Peut-être que le ciel surexposé aurait pu être enlevé du cadrage.
Amicalement
Clément

Hello Marie,
Nice shot, colors and composition. I just don't like very much the background (electrical poles and lighted mounts) so I posted a workshop trying to cut these elements, thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Alberto.

Superbe symétrie! Bonne couleur.

tu aurais peut-etre du cadrer sans le ciel qui éblouie de trop et détourne le regard du bas de la photo, qui est plus intéressant.

Hello Marie,
Very nice shot. Scenes like this makes me really miss the Bay Area. The yellow flowers are actually wild mustard plants. People harvest the dark seeds in the pods and make some very special dijon mustard made with white wine. In fact,you can find some of these delicious mustard sold at the local markets in and around Napa. Yountville comes to mind. Overall, this is a wonderful composition. Amazing how Napa has a look and feel similar to the wine valleys of the Mediterranean. Regards! - Mike O.
