Land, sky & sea Photo

Photographer’s Note

Just come back from a week in Provenza and Cote d'Azur.
That image was took on the Esteral range, between Cannes and Frejus. A pedestrian road that linked the 2 cities running in a fantastic wild nature, with high rocky peaks and the wonderful blue sea.

Buongiorno Paolo,
Che perfetta diagonale! I colori sono buoni e il contrasto tra il blu de la mare e il verde e oro de la terra è magnifico.
Perdono per u mio livello d'italiano.
Ciao
Delphine

Ciao Paolo,
Composición muy agradable y con un encuadre bien hecho. La pendiente de la montaña crea una diagonal espléndida en la imagen, separando tierra de cielo y mar, un cielo y un mar Mediterráneo preciosos.
Bien definida, buenos detalles y buena exposición, que le dan una iluminación y colores excelentes a la foto.
El detalle de las dos personas caminando por la carretera es magnífico y nos da la referencia de las dimensiones que tiene este paisaje.
Buen trabajo.
Ci vediamo,
Josep

Hi Paolo,
Great view in an excellent composition.
The blue colours between water and sky are perfect, and adding the sailboat is the cream on the cake.
Excellent shot..!!!

Thanks and regards, Gerrit

bonjour Paolo
Tres belle diagonale. Bien vu les randonneurs et le bateau cela donne une bonne echelle du site.
Difficile de faire une bonne prise de ses sites si souvent photographiés.
Bravo
André

Superb diagonal created by the side of the hill. Very well focused, superb colours and the two walkers give us some idea of the scale. Nice one.

Hi Paolo,
This photo is of high impact due to the strong contrasting scenes of steep mountainside with earthy tones matched by the endless blue of the sea. The two distant figures on land and the little ssilboat below are nice touches to enhance and stamp the scene with warmth and added interest. This is quite an original and intriguing shot, Paolo. I love the cliff angle.
John

Bonjour Paolo,
Très bien vu cette composition colorée.
C'est amusant de voir les 2 personnes se tenant debout au milieu de la photo.
Bien vu.

jinju (14265) 2006-05-08 3:27

Hey Paolo,

I like the diagonal of the mountain cutting from corner to corner. Thats very precise, so I wonder if that was your goal. The photo is nicely dividd into a fantastic blue and an earthy brown/green half. I like the silhouettes of the people and boats against the bluish sky and sea. Great colors again.

riclopes (33159) 2006-05-08 3:55

Ciao Paolo,
Welcome back.
I love the way you composed this image with a perfect diagonal dividing the blue scenery from the green one in foreground. But what really attracts me in this shot is the sillouette of that couple. The detail of the boat is also nice. Amazing colours. Congratulations!
TFS,
Ricardo

ChrisJ (70569) 2006-05-08 5:03

Bonjourno Paolo

I like diagonal axis of the composition. Good color & sharpness, in this superb seascape. The graphism of the trees on the hillside is excellent. Ciao!

thaprem (2500) 2006-05-08 6:01

Just the right Paolo kind of image!..
Amazing POV on a fantastic scene with deep colours!...
Cheers,
