View of Gata

Morning view of the village of Gata (in the northwestern part of Cáceres province in spain, bordering with Portugal) from the castle's hill dominating the village

I'd appreciate any input you'd wish to give me

Excellent. Has all the great elements. The colors are beautiful and natural. Nice work.

I would have liked to see some more vibrant colors here and a clearer subject or path for the eye to follow. Also, the bright area in the upper left hand corner is distracting.

I do really love that someone begs me for more saturated colours!

I think that in this photo what is actually missing is a good light. Nice landscape, anyway.

Viva Gata y Viva Alberto!!!

I can just picture King Arthur and his knights coming up from Camelot ;-) Beautiful!

Una hermosa vista, con sentido de la profundidad, aunque algo sobre-expuesta en su parte superior izquierda. Pese al valor documental que aporta -tu dedicación en fotografiar nuestra geografía y aportando el interés que ello conlleva es excelente- la foto carece de algún punto de referencia en el que anclar la mirada (algo más interesante que las rocas en primer término... y el pueblo demasiado en la lejanía) y que la haga pasar de buena a sobresaliente. Sólo es una opinión, ok? :-) Saludos!

Una vista preciosa de mi pueblo. La mejor para mi de las ultimas que has bajado.

There is much to be seen in this image, held together in a good and colorfull composition

Alberto, I like the way the ridges lead my eye to the village. Great colours. I gave up using Velvia because I found it too saturated for my taste especially for skies. But looking at your work (and other Velvia users) I think I will have to try again!

I agree with David, re saturated colors would make it really super...Zeiss would have given it, Nikon even with a warmer..didnt..so why did we lose out on a perfect foto ..we must ask Alberto ...what factors made u choose the N brand of glass over the Z, if u want..wanted..love... saturated colors..and it is an undisputed fact that the Z glass gives the best saturation.

Thanks a lot for your comment. I do love powerful colors when they are there. Actually, I'm about to upload some of them from the same day.

However, here, the photo was shot in winter. The vista is/was superb (I only wish I had been able to capture all its majestic beauty) but the colours of grass where what they were.

In any case, don'y you think the blues and red are quite vibrant?

Que bonita vista. Los colores me parecen magníficos y la lejanía del pueblo le confiere (créo que mínimamente) esa sensación de vastedad que se debe de tener ahí. Un abrazo!

Esta es un poema Alberto. Una verdadera foto de paisaje con profundidad de campo muy bien balanceada y la luz es extraordinaria. Sobre todo ese azul al lado superior derecho. Excelente!

Yes quite vibrant is the word, but it is difficult to see the difference between the sunlit and shaded areas with the glasss u r using. The sunlit should jump out at u. Have a brief glance at photos4u.dk and see the Zeiss effect, even though he uses an old Z tele zoom for many shots..

Very good composition,wonderful place!!!

I appreciate your comments on some of my photos and I have discovered you Danish friend thru you. Thanks for it.

But I agree with others that seeing your own work would help us in better understanding your views on photography.

Fantástica, compañero! Antes de ver el nombre, ya sabía de donde venía... Un abrazo y felicitaciones por esta bella imagen.
