In The Distance We Can See, My Homeland Photo

Photographer’s Note

In The Distance We Can See, My Homeland
....................................................

In the distance we can see, my homeland.
I do not see the holy hour of being there.

Will come to my mind beautiful memories,
happy childhood that I will never forget.

We are already arriving, I'm getting close,
I can not keep my eyes weep.

Between valleys and mountains, rivers that supply its seas,
and the blue sky that are the heritage of my songs.

Fragments of an old song by Jairo Varela (My Hometown)

Hello John.
I like the way you have composed this simple photo. The sloping line of grasses under the tree make a very good frame for the landscape behind. The hazy mountains and low clouds create a strong sense of distance, and it is nice to see the villages set amongst the rolling hills. I'm glad you did not add too much contrast or saturation to this natural coloured scene. It is interesting to see the evidence of the terracing on the slopes in the bottom left corner.
Regards,
Andrew

Hola John,
Me gustan los colores verdes del primer plano de tu composición.
También la manera de utilizar la vegetación para el encuadre. Te permite dar menos importancia al cielo, que no estaba muy amistoso.
Las dulces curvas del paisaje son muy agradables.
Bonita composición!
Un abrazo,
Marianne

Hello John, the neighbourhoods of your fatherland are very green, a envoûtant green, l' tree and the sheets in foreground tally well this beautiful undulating landscape, I am in total admiration vis-a-vis this landscape, the choice of this vegetable framing is very judicious, j' like much, the variety of the colors is superb, it misses only the music and the word of Jairo Varela to close this splendid sight, sincerely ...............Bonjour John, les alentours de ta patrie sont très verts, un vert envoûtant, l'arbre et les feuilles en avant-plan cadrent bien ce beau paysage vallonné, Je suis en admiration totale face à ce paysage,
le choix de ce cadrage végétal est très judicieux, j'aime beaucoup,
la variété des couleurs est superbe, il ne manque que la musique et les parole de Jairo Varela pour clore cette vue magnifique, bien amicalement

Hola John.

La profundidad y el paisaje que nos enseñas es realmente tremendo. Muy, muy bonito.

Un saludo!

Hola John,
Gracias por compartir esta vista maravillosa de tu tierra. La vegetación en primer plano hace un lindo encuadramiento del paisaje de colinas verdes ondulantes, que se disuelven en la bruma distante. El manejo de la luz es muy bueno; no me sorprendería que el cielo fuera bien menos interesante.
Un abrazo, José.

Hola John,

Hello John!
Another beauty of yours! Very night mounataineous landscape (sort of similar to what we have here in Brazil), with excellent management of light, sharpness and pov! I really like the composition, specially for the vegetation in the foreground, that frames so nicely the background! In the distance, we can clearly see a small town, your homeland, right?! Very nice, for sure!
TFS - Congratulations!
Abraços do Brasil,
Neyvan

Fantastic green textures easily recognizable in your skillful photos as same also here. Looking to valley through slope of ridges are amazing and you perfectly framed them with rich vegetation at foreground. Excellent quality of capture in natural colors and sharpness as usual. Congratulations.

Hola John,
buen encuadre con las ramas en primer plano para dar así una mayor profundidad a la imagen, en este magnífico paisaje con bonito relieve cubierto de un manto verde, y un horizonte que se pierde entre la neblina.
Hay una gran sensación de libertad y paz en esta composición, que has realizado con elegancia.
Un abrazo,
Josep

You have composed this nicely, John, from a well chosen POV. The deep DOF of your little fixed lens has served you well for this shot. Cheers . . . David
