Shadow of Tree, a photo from California, West

Photographer's Note

Photo was taken from a plane flying over Sacramento's rich farmlands...

Products include: peaches, nectarines, pears, berries, corn, beans, herbs, cut flowers, citrus, melons, nursery products, nuts, peppers, persimmons, kiwi, plums, root crops, salad greens, squash and pumpkins, tomatoes, winter veggies, rice, Christmas trees, wine, poultry, eggs, meat and timber.

Great patterns and intersecting lines! I like how the tree shadow breaks then up a bit.

Like the intricate designs in the fields Joseph,
well captured and composed for an Aeriell, good
work.

VERY good photo, Joseph!
Lots of different textures in it and your POV reveals sort of graphical context of the capture.
If only you've cropped it just a bit differently, so that the tree is a bit more towards the lower left corner, to improve the compo... but still a very nice work,
Robi

Hello Joseph. This seems like a lambswool patchwork. Nice soft colours and you've managed to compose an interesting view on this landscape exploring its graphical and geometrical dimension.

stricking patterns, very well seen and i like your composition, the tree maybe a bit too centered but the diagonal line distracts the eye and in the end it works very well, also the fact that most are neutral colors with thin green and terracotta stripes... strong graphic image. i always love looking at field patterns from the sky!

This is a very nice picture. I like the composition, with these geometrical patterns converging, and the tree at the intersection. Nice homogeneous colours too.
A great picture,
Yannick
