Grazeland, a photo from Ulaanbaatar, East

Photographer's Note

The word "Pastoral" is a combination between wide views of grazes land with plenty of grass and herds of cattle/ships/goats, and separated villages or country houses at least that is my interpretation to this word.
Many call any countryside view "A pastoral views" but without the herds it's not the right description.
In north Mongolia most of the views are pastoral as can be seen in this picture.
I uploaded a month ago similar picture http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Asia/Mongolia/photo99672.htm
This is a cropped picture from another photo from the same place � enjoy!

Superbe photo : les lignes les couleurs tout pour plaire. Bravo

yekjohn (1890) 2004-12-11 8:31

Hi Yuval. You've got a nice picture there! I like the lines, the contrast, and the repetitive patterns formed by the cattles. Is it cattles? Looks like sheeps. Cheers!

naxius (16685) 2004-12-11 8:33

Very efficient composition Yuval. I like these colors, very rich and contrasted.
Well done.

I was thinking about go to Mongolia next year, after see this picture I think a make up my mind about it. My mind thanks you a lot.

ninadev (5377) 2004-12-11 8:56

wow! what a nice graphic shot..I like how the lines made by the hill slopes cross like drapes. All these dots made by the white and black sheeps going in the same direction in a parallel line to the front slope is just perfect to me.

adind (738) 2004-12-11 8:57

wondeful landscape...
I observe nice play of light and shade in your
image..

best,
atis

When I was looking through the gallery, I thought it was birds flying over mountains and to my surprise, I find sheeps grazing a beautiful hillside! This is a splendid shot! I love the gently rolling scenery which you composed well. Too bad though that the upper hand of the photo looks a bit dark. (shadow of clouds perhaps?) The contrast of the sheep against the greens would have stood out more (like the middle part of photo) without the shadow. Still a great shot overall! Great job.
Cheers,
Mayumi

A lot of steaks here. Nice capture. Well done. Nice color and composition.

Belumpi (306) 2004-12-11 14:05

great picture! Nice colors and lighting. Is God playing chess :)?

aznegrao (10316) 2004-12-11 16:50

Gosto muito do contraste dos animais, curiosamente pretos ou brancos. As texturas e as colinas no primeiro plano d縊 mais for軋 a imagem. Otimo trabalho Yuval.
Sauda鋏es.

Philappy (157) 2004-12-11 17:55

Bravo Yuval, les couleurs, la lumi鑽e et surtout les lignes font penser � une peinture.

jrzufferey (7305) 2004-12-12 5:32

Hello, J'aime particuli鑽ement ces ligne qui froment des triangles sur la partie ant駻ieure de l'image. Belle composition et belle homochromie. Ciao/jr

Steft (6109) 2004-12-14 18:42

Nice picture. Simple, but good colours. Good point of view which gives a nice, wild angle. Great job!

eleparc (24063) 2004-12-27 6:05

beautiful light and wave patterns... it looks somewhat out of focus though as far as the cathhle is concerned... Am I wrong?

amitai (879) 2004-12-31 18:32

A very good photo, too bad you over processed it, but if you have the original and you can reload it without so much sharpening, it would be great.
2 thumbs up for this one

cessy (13647) 2005-01-11 4:17

fantastic, very nice composition, lines, light and dark, plus the herds. really excellents

greg (2835) 2005-01-11 4:40

An unusual, and very beautiful image. The quality is rather disappointing, though - something went wrong in the processing?

manu_itu (307) 2005-01-11 5:08

Very beautiful and unusual sight Yuval. black and white herd grazing on golden green slopes. very pleasant sight. How did you tell all sheeps to walk in same dirction...or may be that's what sheeps always do..? A great capture indeed.

amihay_s (722) 2005-02-12 13:42

i remember this one, very good shot!

donner64 (284) 2005-02-16 14:37

Well, like others, I love this pict, the lines, the colors, all these spots...

danielswalsh (13597) 2005-02-21 3:43

I really like the abstract feel of this Natural photo. You have a great eye to spot this one I think....
The natural triangle that the herd creates is an interesting addition of texture to to the shot- I like it!

Cheers,
- Dan

ivanhooace (60) 2005-07-01 14:21

well composed ,something unique....looking at things from another aspect

ktanska (45030) 2005-08-15 8:05

It's like a painting. Strange shade of
metallic? green accentuated by black and
white. I think there's some oversharpening
on the edges.

rimas (173) 2005-09-08 3:40

Ideal "A pastoral view". Superb colors,composition, light, PoV and very nice rythm of dots from the white and black sheeps . Bravo!

maurazos (0) 2005-09-09 13:15

It's a pleasure to see such a fine composition, enhanced with a dramatic light. Regards.

Albrecht (11283) 2005-09-09 13:17

Hi Yuval
I like this compo with the diagonal lines and different greens and the sheep..
Well captured spot.

partha (14023) 2005-10-23 4:34

Tremendous pic. The colour combination of Black-White-green mingles together. The composition is very good.

AndyGr1er (281) 2005-10-23 5:21

Awesome shot. I like how the composition of the shot is divided up by diagonal colours and lines making this almost abstract. the black and white herds provide a spectacular contrast on the landscape too.

AthaPan (0) 2005-12-03 8:01

Just perfect

Pro and nothing more to add!

ngythanh (8458) 2005-12-03 8:38

Your photo made me mute, Yuval!
Yes, I need to shut my mouth up, and quietly enjoy this beauty.
Thank you, thank you.

Your photo took my breaths, Yuval.
I know that I could not make this capture as good as you did, but just wish that I was here enjoying the true scene with my nake eyes.
Best regards,

YC

Jason_teale (717) 2007-02-02 12:50

the colors and shades in this shot are amazing! The green tones and the contrast of the animals are great.

tonyking (1612) 2007-02-04 2:13

Hi Yuval,
I came across your pic purely by accident but it's so amazing that I felt that I had to write. The parallel lines of the hill sides, on the left conflict in a nice way with the angle of the hill to the right. Even without the strong contrast of the cattle, it would still be a good pic but, with their presence, you've captured a truly great image. The pic is beautifully composed, your use of light is excellent, and your light management is outstanding.
Superb work.

Hugs,
Tony

Brendon (289) 2007-02-19 22:26

Your move Yuval, checkmate!
Very interesting subject matter and note.
It appears that the whole herd is moving in one direction (left), very cool how you used the sloping hills in the foreground to neatly frame the animals above.
Smart idea.
Brendon

pradeepsz (53) 2007-02-26 13:05

Very efficient composition Yuval naaman. I like these colors and contrasted.
Well done.thanks and regards

Cormac (26565) 2007-07-17 10:21

Fantastic shot! I remember seeing this a long time ago, and it made an impression on me. This works both as a straight up landscape and also as a type of abstract. Great combination of shapes and patterns. Superb!

zumoduvas (2069) 2007-07-17 14:33

Hello Yuval.

Excellent picture, nice composition and colors.
