val dｴOrcia, a photo from Siena, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

The view when opening the window of our "agriturismo" between San Quirico and Pienza. Itｴs highly recommended to stay at the farms, with original Italian food, traditional but very comfortable rooms and very nice people... and you can start taking photos in front of the door..

Here I used a gradual ND grey filter to darken the sky a bit.

Un tipico paesaggio toscano don anche un piccolo strato di nebbia distante. Bello l'uso del foltro, non esagerato.

Hi Christian, these Italian landscapes are truly wondeful, they are giving me itchy feet to travel! Great use of the filter on your sky and the texture of the rolling hills is beautifully rendered. That 5DII of yours is really earning it's way! TFS, Lisa.

Hello,
I like the depth of field at this image and its soft coloured character. Lovely composition with this lonely tree in the foreground and eye catching sky. Great scenery.

Greetings

Ciao caro Christian,
penso che la Regione Toscana dovrebbe darti un premio speciale per come hai pubblicizzato questi stupendi paesaggi, fatti con eleganza e bravura fotografica. Bellissima immagine, dove luci e colori riescono a trasmettere piacevoli sensazioni. Bravissimo!
Ciao, passa una buona settimana!
Paolo

Hi Christian
Your landscapes of Tuscany are fantastic. The rolling hills and brilliant colour are a feast for the eyes. The solitary tree and the sun are placed perfectly to create a wonderful composition.
Cheers
Jude

I like the way you have got the many layers in this lovely nature shot Christian. The hues and the lights are neatly controlled and create a superlative impact

Viele Gr�e
Linda
