Dear All,

Among mountains and plateaus, I was driving to Vilar de Lomba… the beauty of the landscape without pollution. I taste natural smells and the green grass mixed the winter tones. In the last day of the Year I knew this fantastic land.

Vilar de Lomba, is situated in the Lomba plateaus, before the confluence of the river Mente and the river Rabaçal. This parish presents an accented relief, with small valleys.

The landscape is of most harmonious of the country. The small rivers of clean waters running, all the year in the natural forests with the spontaneous species of the Portuguese flora. Vilar de Lomba integrates the Cold Land Transmontana. It has snows and fogs of December the March.

This region receive visitors from other regions already suffocated by the technological progress, which can find here, places to renew of the body and the spirit in contact with the pleasure of the simple things that the field and the mountain give us.

I HOPE YOU LIKE IT

Hi Aires,

The brown leaves between the green grass care for a nice contrast, your DOF is very nice, also the compositions gives a very attractive picture for looking, very well done!. Tfs.

Have a nice week,
John.

Viva Aires,
esta foto é bastante interessante principalmente pela disposição das arvores nuas com as suas folhas no chão a dar cor a foto.
Parabéns, bela foto,
Paulo Monteiro

Great depth of field in this shot and I love the carpet of autumn leaves. The tree on the left serves as a frame although I can't make up my mind whether I like it or not!! :-) The rest of the pic is great though and is full of texture.
Best wishes
Mark

Hi Aires!

bonjour Aires,
jolies couleurs d'automne et très bonne composition globale. J'aime beaucoup les teintes et la lumière. Par contre, il y a un problème sur la netteté, beaucoup trop poussée,dommage.

bonne journée

Hello Aires,
The scenery looks like autumnal, even though it's winter time. I like the silhouetted trees against the cloudy sky and the yellow/brown leaves which contrast well on the green grass. Good DOF as well.
Cheers,
Marilyn

Hi Aires

Muy buena foto ambiental. Me gusta la fota de componer la foto con la inclusion del recorte del arbol de la izquierda y la vista general de los arboles desnudos de hojas,

Un gran tiro.
Sergio

Hola Aires.

Otoño en estado puro y una composición muy ciudada. Aunque de la foto hay algo que falla para mi: su exceso de definición.

Un saludo.

Olá Aires,
Gosto deste emaranhado de arvores, com os ramos a criarem um belo efeito contra o céu nublado. O contraste com as cores quentes no chão cai que nem uma luva.
Pelos vistos a tua maquina pregou-te uma partida e levou a definição ao extremo, mas já vi que ao que parece o problema está ultrapassado.
Um abraço.
Paulo

Ola Aires,

Bonita composicao, gosto da forma que usou o tronco da arvore no primeiro plano como moldura, primeiro pensei que a parte das folhas estava um pouco larga na composicao e que um pouco mais de ceu daria mais equilibrio, mas olhando melhor acho que vc quiz enfatizar as folhas outonais, neste caso a composicao funciona bem.

Abracos,

Flavia

Hi Aires

Nice winter scene you have set here. Very sharp. I bet it wold have looked great in b&w as well. Good work.
Ben

Beautiful compo, autumn colors and cloudy atmosphere. I like the contrast between the green and brown leaves and the grey sky. Interesting light.

TFS,

Andreea

Hi Aires,
I always like pictures like this one! Tasting natural smells in a foggy day is mysterious and wonderful sense! The colours are sweet and the carpet of withered leaves creates a stunning atmosphere! I like the choice of bole as the left side of the frame.
Very well done.
Have a nice weekend,
Athanasios.
