Pines of Rome

A very fine landscape composition. The line of trees takes the eye through the image. 6

BR, Holger

A gorgeous landscape.  Those trees are unusual - do you know what species they are?

Well done,

David

Umbrella Pines? 'Yielding the pinion nuts for pesto?
Nice mono treatment & lovely composition.

Very nice work, Maurizio!

Very nice work! Nice lines and toning. 

Best Regards,

Peter

Isn't that wonderful, the land brings forth the trees and the trees reach for the clouds and the sky. Rural landscape at its best. Well seen, congratulations

Best regards,

Dear Doug, you are right: an expert in botany and...Italian culinary art!!!

Hi Maurizio,

  Beautiful b/w scene with wonderful composition & dramatic sky.  Take care, Patsy

Meraviglioso paesaggio con umore speciale creata dai soggetti e l'illuminazione speciale, incredibilmente bello!

Ciao Mau

I cannot pretend wide knowledge. A film shooter, recently back from Rome posted a shot of this kind of tree.

Your work here, is outstanding. Congrats on a wonderful scene.

Grande BW Maurizio, complimenti !

Hi Mau

Beautifull composition and nice mood.

Great sky.

Maurizio, a lovely, nearly timeless vision of the Roman countryside. Very nicely done.

I really like the composition and subjects.  I think this could pop more if the whites were whiter and the blacks blacker; and perhaps a bit of darkening, or toning down, or cropping of the foreground.  Regards, Jeff   

Apart from its evident artistic qualities, what I like about this image is the feeling of being there, the proximity to nature. Exellent, bravo. 

I agree absolutely with the comment done by John, the presence feeling is remarkable. Here the depth, perspective, framing, all of them are combined with mastery to obtain a marvelous image of solitude. 

Ciao Maurizio. No wonder your photograph has received so many comments, all of them well deserved. This is a mod exceptional image in every technical sense, which there is no point in highlighting given the magnificent arrangement and capture of this moment of Nature. Congratulations.

Hi Maurizio, wow, wonderful capture and a image which has a lot of impact, (those trees, what a find!) Great composition and B/W is the perfect choice for this in my opinion! Best wishes. Sarah.

Awesome!!
