Late afternoon scene

Rural scene just outside of the town of Castellane, southern France. I liked the way the late afternoon light hit the trees and the mountains in the background. Your comments are very welcome.

Beautiful landscape, Vincent! I also love the south of France. A wonderful frame, light, volume, transparency, color gradient, details ... There is a feeling of a gentle wind touching the trees. Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Hi Tatiana,

 

thank you for your beautiful comments! I especially like your sentence 'There is a feeling of a gentle wind touching the trees' , which is not only spot-on, but shows a deep understanding of photography and the world around us. There was a little breeze indeed. Kind regards, Vincent

I like the vertical structure of the trees contrasting with the rest of the image, Vincent. The beautiful colors of the trees highlights them as the main focus. I like the left to right height variation of the trees and the mountains and sky are a great backdrop for the them. A very compelling image. Greetings, Paul.

Hi Paul,

 

thank you for your elaborate comments on this photo! I'm glad you see this composition the way I meant it and not as the trees and the background 'competing for attention' as I once heard someone say. Kind regards, Vincent
