Photographer’s Note

"Silhouettes"
............................

On a day Sunday, on the journey that takes me from the Municipality of Carthage toward the city of Toro, I could see this interesting scene of grazing.

There was partial lighting, as a set of clouds in the sky did not allow the sun to fill all the spaces of the landscape with its rays of light.

One can see that the first plane is more enlightened that the plane later. However, it was enough for me to appreciate the various shapes that form the background, in this typical scene from the fields of Valle del Cauca.

The clouds were threatening, but I helped to mitigate the light and composition, within what we wanted.

Hope will be to the liking of everyone,

John

Hola John... Me gsuta mucho aquí como has controlado la luz, ya sea en la cámara o en el postprocesado, el resultado es muy poético, la verdad. También me parece acertada la proporción de plano que le has dejado a cada cosa.
Bonita,
Miguel

Hello,
Very nice composition. I like that greenery and light in the foreground. Heavy clouds looks very dramatic and it seems it's going to rain. Very good sharpness.

Greetings

hello John,
I like a lot how you have composed the photo, the patch of grass in the foreground right corner adds a good depth to the scene and creates a nice balance with the tree further up. but I particularly like the sky, and how the light creates almost a frame for the scene. very well seen and presented.

regards,
Kristine

Hola John,
Tu composición es muy agradable. Lo que más me gusta es la curva suave del paisaje.
También el cielo contribuye darle una atmósfera muy impresionante a tu foto.
Una buena gestión de la luz.

That is a lovely scene, John.
I like the grasses in the FG that catch the light and the shadows that make for such nice silhouettes. Well planned and executed composition and an incredible sky. Just a thoroughly pleasant shot. Many thanks and warm regards,

Boa noite John
Uma composição maravilhosa com a vegetação ensombreada e o capim iluminado no primeiro plano.As silhuetas dos animais ao longe estão uma beleza e o céu carregado também ficou belo, com prenúncios de chuva.
Abraços

Hola John,
Compo genial, por el grafismo de los campos, por supuesto, pera principalmente por el uso de la luz. Y los colores, y el cielo dramático, las vacas en el cimo de la colina!... Fantástica! Te felicito por la inspiración y por la técnic!.
Un abrazo, José.

Hola J.O!
De verdad que le has sacado jugo a ese
lindo campo en Cartago y con razon por
supuesto. Este lugar se presta para escenas
con aires muy calmados y poeticos. Linda
composicion con un resultado muy balanceado.

Un saludo cordial! Maryori :)

Buenos días John,
Se observa muy bien. Este pico de colina y sus siluetas es espléndidos sobre un fondo de cielo un poco atormentado. Un muy bueno trabajo, artístico.
pasa un buen día
Cordialmente

Ciao John,
una foto con una composizione molto buona, con una bellissima gestione della luce che consente di ammirare i particolari sia delle zone in luce sia delle zone in ombra.
Un caro saluto

Hola amigo John,
has jugado muy bien con las zonas iluminadas y las zonas en sombra para conseguir este bonito efecto sobre la hierba del paisaje.
Este contraste lumínico aumenta el grafismo de las siluetas de los árboles y de las vacas recortadas sobre un cielo nublado muy estético.
Bella foto.
Un abrazo,
Josep
