Thanks for all your teachings!

WOW cette campagne est joliment vallonn馥 !!! :o) magnifique relief !!! la disposition des arbres aux diff駻ents feuillages est tr鑚 graphique.
Peut 黎re que le vert est un peu trop "flashy" cependant ...?

amazing.!!!!

nwoehnl (122) 2004-06-01 4:39

Amazing shot, Alessandra! I really love the look down the rolling hills that are dipped in sumptuous springtime colors. The blossoming trees and the house are wonderfully placed in your frame, and I also like how the green trees in the foreground are standing in a row as if they were "guarding" the view. Great stuff, congratulations.

This one goes into my favorites.

Very nice image Allessandra, i love it. Such a beautiful green.

Cool-ice (5289) 2004-06-01 4:42

Yesss !
The point of view from a high point gives all its originality to this shot.
And the curved line of trees in the bottom is very well seen
The house is perfectly placed in the frame.
Very refreshing and graphic.
I like this one very much, Ale, the best one of yours on TE for me !

Not simple landscape Alessandra, Beautiful! very fine ground texture, fresh green tones, excellent spring composition, Bravo!

olli (2091) 2004-06-01 4:44

Beautiful curvy Italian landscape. Great mix of trees. Well composed. I think the building is an essential element. Very smart title :-)
I like this shot very much.

Zanni (6108) 2004-06-01 4:52

Stupenda, Ale, veramente stupenda. Questi sono colori unici. Sembra che uno debba sprofondare nel verde. Ogni albero un colore diverso. Quella casetta � un tocco di classe. Prevedo un successone. Grande classe

GrahamB (939) 2004-06-01 4:52

Lovely lanscape shot. Great definition of the little hills and perfect placement of the building in the scene. The foreground smile gives the scene depth. Very nice

airin (172) 2004-06-01 5:26

Great pic, Alessandra. Lines changing directions and white house are very nice details. Also composition and colors are beautiful. Well done!

Galeota (10352) 2004-06-01 5:27

Ale, Ale, if you are as joyful as your photos, the ones who surround you are really lucky persons! This is the day of the green! The curves on your photograph, the POV that draws our attention into the frame like if we were falling in it... a simple landscape, you say?? Well, thank you for having transformed it into paradise. B*E*A*U*T*I*F*U*L*

ChrisJ (172436) 2004-06-01 5:30

Beautiful landscape

yesterday (9833) 2004-06-01 5:30

WOW this is a very beautiful landscape. That hilly scenery, have beautiful curve and lines.

Excellent compoced, it had been a bit better, if there was a bit air to the tree in right side. Beautiful color, good contrast and good light.

Over all a splendid photo.

kooreman (321) 2004-06-01 5:58

Alessandra, Good shot! I think it was a good choice not to include the sky. Leaving that out makes it IMO more special. My eyes are drawn to the deep part between the hills and then when I am down below I get drawn to the house. Beautiful shot. Dit you do any postprocessing?

cmartos (242) 2004-06-01 6:26

WOW! Wonderful shot Ale. This is splendid composed with a good POV and angle. A smiling and refreshing green landscape. Wonderful job Ale, congratulations !

maphoto (8082) 2004-06-01 8:15

Very interesting shot very good perspective from up there, with those nice curves you've got a variety of colors wich is very pleasant, maybe simple but beautiful, well seen.

ninadev (5377) 2004-06-01 9:52

What a nice landscape and yes the smile is fabulous. I like how on top of the white house there are some whiter spots in the trees, it balances well the image and contrasts well against all that nice spring green.

Hanssie (11022) 2004-06-01 14:34

What can I say, Alessandra ?
Splendid picture, that's what I can say !

waskahegan (0) 2004-06-01 15:35

picture full of life and harmony.
I certainly praise how the land is cared for by those who live there.
I like the mountain effect, the steepness of the slope, the feel of spring.

avigur_11 (22553) 2004-06-01 15:38

WOOOW, Aessandra, it is so nice and well composed, well captured. THe trees and the rrain are terrific. Terrain reminds me the TeleTubbies land. A great shot!

Rockyboy (20598) 2004-06-01 16:00

Wow, you succeded to have a nice view with that angle down. The house is in a perfect place too. Well done, Alessandra!

rdans59 (263) 2004-06-01 17:23

Beautiful shot, Alessandra! I just love the way the first line of trees follows the contours of the slopes. The place of the house gives the composition a lively tone and brings the spectator's eye to the background. Good work!

didcreole (962) 2004-06-01 17:32

Superbe ! Your composition is very good, I like the position of the house (the only bad thing : the house is overexposed). All these green tones are splendid ! F駘icitations Alessandra.

spence (65) 2004-06-01 19:37

Beautiful scene, great pov, composition and colour. And I love your title.... it made ME smile :))

pamastro (7296) 2004-06-02 0:58

A simple but very beautiful landscape. I love the curves of the land here. The trees highlight the key areas. Especially in the back where they seem to funnel into the low area. The color is really great in this, too. The house becomes part of this landscape nicely. Very well composed. Very nicely done.

Proxilva (2157) 2004-06-02 7:40

wow this is an excellent photo miss Ale.....
by not including the sky or the horizon you get a very different view wich can work out very nice like this one does. this photo reminds me of an exposition i saw last year of Claudio Marcozzi, an (also) italian photographer who shoots mostly in Toscani. ut he also has theese kind of "very alive" photo's without the sky...

Eagle78 (1933) 2004-06-02 8:20

Wow Alessandra! Stunning image!! I love it...and you say youｴre trying to learn about compo, right??!! Well..i must say you learn very quick, you know? ;)) Wonderful composition, lovely colors...hmmmm..a favourite for sure :)

flydragon (0) 2004-06-02 15:48

Hello Ale ;o) where do u live lol
nice picture and nice country i guess not on planet earth ,o)
its verry nice i like it the curve the color and the tree in background
also the composition
sometime i think i lose something, working just in black and white ;o)

papagolf21 (152607) 2004-06-03 4:41

Une v駻itable peinture Alessandra ! J'aime quand la nature nous montre un si beau paysage. Joli cama�eu de vert. Photo pleine de reliefs.
Tr鑚 belle r饌lisation ! Merci.

summer89 (5422) 2004-06-05 21:01

Hi alesandra,

I like this one.The green colors are wonderfull. I like the tree lines, too.

It's a great composition.

Very well done

manny (22032) 2004-06-07 4:42

This is very very good Alessandra. The colors are so fresh and cool. The composition..perfect. The title says it all. The curve of the slope is unmistakably a smile and what beautiful teeth it has.

I look at your profile and I saw a lot of good landscape pictures. As that is my waterloo, I am learning quite a handful by just looking at your pic. You have a skill in composing. Somehow, your style is straighforward but it is rendered in an artistic way. I couldn't explain it comprehensively because I am not much of a technical person.

zamsh (445) 2004-06-12 7:51

All that beautiful green with the touch of a little white, without the white tree and house the picture wouldnt be that interesting.

thanks for a lovely green smile,
you will get one too :)

Still a very beautiful photograph (sincerely) the sight is really interesting like the colors, a beautiful composition with this house on the corner.

Guenther (10915) 2004-06-17 3:27

Ciao Alessandra, vedo solo adesso (di ritorno dalle ferie) questa tua bellissima foto! Un'inncredibile inquadratura, molto originale!

nfriedli (1060) 2004-06-18 4:09

Bravo! C'est une magnifique image : les couleurs sont splendides, le titre est bien choisi et la composition parfaite. Il n'y a rien � ajouter.

Jeppe (18654) 2004-06-24 16:12

Oh too bad I missed this one of all your nice shots - Very well spotted and captured - I like the tree teeths :-)

The fresh green colours also works very well - thanks for sharing your fine work - no wonder it got so many points.

But you must wait for mine - the gone for today :-(

Complimenti!
vedo che ami il verde e la primavera, oltre che la Toscana che per la verit� incanterebbe chiunque. Io ho istintivamente una propensione per i colori dell'autunno, rossi, gialli e mattone, sempre mescolati al legno e/o alla pietra. Quand'� che ne mandi qualche altra??

adind (738) 2004-09-03 9:43

windowlicker (6) 2004-09-07 22:44

wonderful colors and composition. I love the house position because it brings the perspective of how steep the hill is.

shihwei (238) 2004-09-09 21:28

thanks pal.

danielswalsh (13597) 2004-09-13 12:43

hmmmm... this shot reminds me of somehting out of a fairy tale! The landscape is almost surreal, I don't think I have ever seen such perfectly rounded hills- EVER.
Beautiful area.
Very nice color saturation Alessandra, and very well composed. I like the contrast between the rolling hills and the trees- very interesting.

Nice work,
- Dan

naxius (16685) 2004-09-21 7:22

Very nice landscape, sound like to be in Toscane. I like the nice colors you have captured. The curve gives someting that guide the eyes through this landscape.
Very good Alessandra.

KevRyan (22956) 2005-03-06 4:59

A very nicely arranged composition - perhaps the colours are a little saturated for my liking - the shapes of the landscaoe are very interesting and your choice of title makes me see this as a happy picture and I am smiling too!

ydarias (679) 2005-04-27 9:33

Hello Alessandra. I like your composition the point of view is very well. And the colors are fantastic. Very good photo.

refreshing landscapes. It deserves the points. Gorgeously captured.

goodfellow (195) 2005-08-22 17:28

A lovely shot...I presume taken in late spring with the flowering trees and some with the leaves not yet fully opened. Where are the Lombardy poplars? ;-)

una vallata molto dolce e dai colori molto belli

Pier78 (28) 2011-02-13 15:55

Bellissimi colori. Un gran bel verde, ma anche gli altri alberi a dare un tocco insolito al paesaggio. Stupendo il gioco delle curve.

ahvelthoen (4) 2011-08-31 18:22

Terrific shot, the flowing lines in the picture are great.
