[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
All around me the earth is awakening. Buds are swelling, daffodils have appeared and some trees have decorated themselves in pink blossoms. Yet, it is bitterly cold, with the weather bureau predicting a very cold snap for the next few days. When I took this photo, my fingers were frozen and a cold and persistent wind blew across the valley.I stayed briefly, before i retreated to my car. Soon, I expect, this farm will be filled with golden daffodils.

Hi Klaudio,
Lovely landscape, looking through the foreground works so well, it'll be interesting to come back to this spot when spring is in full swing. It's quite cold here in Sydney today as well.
cheers

Hi Claudio,

Nice place and good light to compose this image. The planted fields make for a pleasant view of this region. Good colours and excellent pov to capture this scene. Besides you used the branches very well to frame the image. Thanks Claudio.

It is a nice picture seen through the foreground trees. The three plan composition is excellent and all the green hues are very good and add lots of interest. Here in Brisbane, is not that cold but yet it is quite coldish for our standards! Well done.

Hallo Klaudio!
Here I like the wonderful light very much. A really springlike, optimistic, scenery - well framed by these naked branches.
Greetings from nearly autumnal Germany!

Very wordsworthy, Klaudio!
And a wonderful shot, too. Great the way you have framed the budding daffodils between the gnarled twigs on all sides. The rows of golden daffodils and the lines of bare trees look superb and create the depth and perspective effect. The colour is natural and the sky has come out well. I wonder if you used that ND filter here. Anyway, the result is excellent. Well seen, as they say on TE.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Klaudio
Well framed through the trees. It reminds me of trying to photograph a tulip field last April and the cold drove me back into a warm car after only 5 shots.

Hi Klaudio,
excellent capture of the light and the shadows and a very nice framing. What I like most of all is the atmosphere of hope in this composition!

hello Klaudio,
I like a lot the play of geometric patterns here, and how the branches in the foreground add a nice depth to the scene. the clear light creates a feeling of a crisp and cold air, exactly as you write in your note. I've always thought that the cold just before true spring is both the easiest and the most difficult to tolerate - on the one hand you know that it will be great and warm soon, so who cares about some cold, but you're also so tired of it that just one more day seems like an eternity.

have a great spring,
Kristine

Bonjour,
Belle composition avce un beau mouvement.
Bonne journée.

There is no question about the quality of this photo, extremely sharp and detailed. The undulating terrain with the row of leafless trees, the farm(strawberry?)in the fG all frame up nicely by the branches. Sounds like unusual to see blossoms so early.

Thats a fabulous collection of colours, shades, lights and etxtures. I like the way the elements have been composed together. the impact is superb and well handled

Hello Klaudio,

Although we pay lip service to the inverted seasons in the northern and southern hemispheres, we still have to think about your words, "... my fingers were frozen..." Certainly many of the trees are devoid of foliage, the scene is still rich in green vegetation. The panoramic view of the rolling hills, the meticulously cultivated, row upon row of vegetables makes this a classic sight. Warm regards,

Bulent

Ciao Klaudio, I'm with you spring is here even though it doesn't feel like just yet but the plants know it. Well framed & nice soft colours. Where was it taken?.
