About We were out for an afternoon walk with some friends and their young son just after christmas and I was in two minds about taking the camera. I was glad I did although I kicked myself for leaving the tripod at home. We had been climbing for some time when I turned round to see this incredible afternoon light on the fields and tree covered mound. The fields seemed to glow and the shadows were cyan-blue. The moral: always carry your camera!

Great shot. I like the color, although I think it could use a bit more saturation. I really enjoy the way the lines carry my throughout the image. Great work!

Barry, you have some very beautiful landscapes in your portfolio. This one is no exception, shame its a little 'shaken'. As you rightly say, it needed a tripod to really do it justice. The composition in all of your landscapes is very well thought out, you obviously have an eye for composition.

I added you to my friends list in order that I can quickly see your further submissions.

Regards

Keith

Hi Barry, True words of wisdom here on UF! Impressive shot, I like the unusual perspective, looking down towards the vilage, in stead of capturing the entire scenery. The apparently random straight lines in the field, the use of various levels of distance, from the walls, to the trees on the small incline and on towards the vilage in the distance. Perfect! The moment, with its soft light and the still frosty parts in the shadow and the slowly waking up vilage (in my imagination, at least), with smoke coming out of the chimneys is beautiful. The soft tones enhance that atmosphere perfectly.

The only thing that I find slightly disturbing is the willow and the wall in the lower right corner. I think I would have cropped it off, because it does not add anything to the rest of the composition.

Very well done!

Cheers,

Hugo

Brilliant photo Barry, there is so much detail I could look at the scene for a long time and not take everything in. Excellent !

A real beauty Barry. The smoke, the mounds and the walls in the foreground really add up to a great image.


Phil McLean   {K:11523} 3/15/2004
Wise words indeed! Nice shot! :)

Great composition and light capture, Barry. Intriguing with the smoke of man's burning behind the gorgeous natural foreground, though I suppose the lines of the walls in front are also man's work. Well done.
-Thanks for your comment on my "Portal". The colors were in the original capture, emerging as you see them through PS fiddling with brightness and contrast.

Great composition,wonderful light.I wouldn't crop this shot,you'd lose too much of the road going off to the left.Regards,Tony.B.t.W.thanks for your comment,looking thru your portfolio we seem to have similar obsessions.

I couldn't agree more. your picture makes me want to run down the hill and over to that mound with trees where I would inveritably squat down take take some images. and yet, standing on the hill, breathing in the cold invigorating air . . . . what a nice afternoon

Wow, what a fantastic light, mist and perspective, Barry! I love your portfolio, your landscapes are superb, I love your sense of space, color and composition. Each picture is a work of art! My best compliments, and best wishes for the holidays! Ina
