I don't have much to say about this picture,apart from Fantastic, Silvio. Excellent detail, colour, and contrast.

ACL1978 (7511) 2013-01-04 12:33

Amazing colors - and clash of colors, really. The bright ground level, but the dark, brown, foreboding clouds come together brilliantly. The blue mountains at the horizon are almost otherworldly in this light and context. Well done!

Ciao Silvio, questa � una grande combinazione di lavoro di un artista! Colori incredibili a ballare con le tonalit� favolose, cielo moody in contrasto con la naturale morbidezza del paesaggio. Tu sei un pittore romantico, un fotografo straordinario e un artista eccezionale!
Buona serrata,
Eleni

Hello Silvio - I love the FG here, the rich and colourful variety of flowers which stretch to the mountains are beautiful and well captured. However, I do find your PP work on the sky a little too obvious and I don't think works well with the FG. I would love to see this shot without or with less work in the sky. Warm regards Rosemary

Dear Silvio,

Wow ! What an impressive composition - the dark and moody but facinating sky, in contrast with the sweet colours from the fields. A superb composition !

TFS,

Hi Silvio
this is stunning! The colours and elements are irresistible and the atmosphere just magical. Highly original and compelling imagery! Love it!

Enjoy the weekend - regards Brian.

willperrett (14215) 2013-01-05 4:49

Hello Silvio
Sorry I haven't visited your portfolio recently: I've been taking a break from TE for a few weeks, but have returned with batteries fully charged! This is a remarkable photograph, which seems to have two moods, top and bottom. Below we see beautiful summer blossoms which radiate colour and vibrancy; above we have a spectacular storm brewing. I'm guessing you "encouraged" nature by pushing the clouds a little in P'shop, but the effect has worked, and you have created a dramatic photograph. Good work, and a Happy New Year.
Regards
Will

Hello Silvio,

now this is a real stunner, all the colours and the special light in the cloudy sky. How did you do that?
Were you using any special filter for that?

Best regards

Romana

ourania (51103) 2013-01-05 13:39

Ciao Silvio,
un effetto fantastico che accattiva lo spettatore immediatamente ed a lungo. C' e' grande profondita', bellezza e sottigliezza nel prato primaverile ed un fortissimo dramma e mistero nel cielo dinamico. I giosiosi colori che spiccano nel prato fanno un contrasto estremo con il grigio sfuggente delle nuvole. magnifico lavoro, complimenti e grazie!
Tanti saluti e buona notte!
Ourania

Ciao Silvio
Bellissima scena, vedere tutti quei fiori multicolorinella lunghissima pianura cos� nitidi fino in profondit� e con un cielo minaccioso elaborato in modo perfetto rende questa immagine favolosa. Magari avessi visto Castelluccio cos� colorato ma ... sar� per la prossima volta.
Grazie del bellissimo lavoro e condivisione.
