In the clouds

This photo was taken from a path on the hills of the Val d'Arno, near

the house we rented, a place named "Podere-le-Coste", at about 40 km

of Arezzo and 60 of Florence. Thank you to rate and comment (and if

you can give me the translation - in english or in french -

of "Podere-le-Coste").

Looks like the Japenese Gardens in Dublin Ireland - wonderful colors in your shot here

nice colors

Really nice colours!

"Podere le Coste" means something like The Coasts' Farmhouse... so it is actually a farmhouse which is between or close to the coasts of a river, or a lake, or something like that...Hope this helps

Another Manguy painting. Breathtaking colors. Well done.

 

Very nice colors indeed. Like the clouds/fog in the background. Only criticism is lack of a clearly identifiable and strong subject. However, nicely composed for the subject matter available.

Great eye you have! Wonderful colors here. (A translation could be: "Riverside Farmhouse"). Congrats!

In traditional Chinese painting, we have something very much like the pre-renaissance multiple perspective, some painters call it "the angle of totality." I am not sure if that's Henri's intention, but the effects, in many of his photos, remind me of the multiple perspective.

Thank you for your ratings and comments.

 

Michele and Roberto, thank you for the translation. I believed that "coste" could be translated by the french word "c�te" in the sense of "hill", because it was on a hill. And the river (aside a very little stream) was the Arno, further in the valley.

 

Michele, you who seems so good in computers, how can you make the bold and italics types in the comment text ?

 

Ken, you are right, there is no really strong subject. What interested me in this landscape was the compostion of colours. In this case, for me, there is no really need of a particular subject.

 

Ray, though I am relatively interesting in painting, I must confess that I am rather ignorant in Chinese painting and I don't know the concept of "multiple perspective". I am as well very ignorant in the occidental painting of before the XIXth century. But I will study this question, promised.

I agree with previous comments. I like the colours.

Beautiful shot, great colors!!

To me this photo is about the colours. The presence of the clouds explains the elevation of the area. I agree that there is no obvious subject, but I believe the photo is about the colours. Nicely done and capture of differant coloured tree/leaves.

very good the colour in this image!!!!

I have to agree that the image looks more like a painting because of the colors. The mist provided some moods.

Beautiful picture! I agree that there's no strong subject, but in this case the eye is catched in between the colours on the left and the mist on the right... the result is balanced as well! Good job.

Henry, I like the colours here. I think I see what attracted you to this scene in the first place. The mist at the top also has a dreamlike quality. Behind the trees I can guess that there is a house, but the angle of view that you have chosen doesn't allow the full view of the building and therefore doesn't really add anything to the image, IMHO.

By cropping the image in half, the left half of the picture IMO makes a much more pleasing photo.

 

Ciao.

Thank you for all your kind comments, and do not forget to take a look on my Tuscany folder.
