Back to the past

This little Breton village hasn't more inhabitants but is open to the

public which can visit there some thatched cottages as they where

still conceived and furnished in the beginning of the XXth century in

all Britanny. The guides are dressed in the Breton fashion of the

time (see the farmer in the centre of the photo) and you can attend

some demonstrations representing the various daily activities in a

little Breton village from before the modern times. This is perfect

for the rainy days as it was the case when I took this photo.

very painterly. I love the colour, the effects and it is such a nice peaceful image.

"Painterly" is the perfect word for this image and an effect I'm often striving to achieve. Great use of lighting in that the overcast day avoids looking gloomy.

very nice mystic athmosphere.

Like others have already said, this has a very nice "painterly" effect. Great, soft lighting and colors. Nice job.

Really nice shot,what impressed me also is the blur effect on the girl.

The blur effect on the farmer is due to the relatively long exposure during she was walking.

Sans savoir, j ai pense a Locronan ;)

Comme quoi ...

 

excellent image and nice colour!!!!

Henry, you did very good job to make it like a real painting.

Very pleasant, Henri. I like the mood. Perhaps a bit more PS work where the trees meet the sky? I also like the wide, panoramic proportion.

Thise is great!...love the athmosphere!

I really like the texture and mood of this one. Also, very nice green saturation. Looks very authentic old world.

A nice shot but what strikes me is your use of PS to bring out the detail and colour.

Henri, great job. I love the mood it presents.

Really Cool, peaceful, serene......

Excellent, very appealing and aesthetic motif, good lighting

Where is asterix? good image.

Beautiful image! Great atmosphere, too. I know I'm being picky, but I wish the girl were off center a bit to the right.

Very painterly. It gives me the cozy and homely feeling of nice warm farm-house.

Excellent and suitable colors, too.

Thanks for all your comments. I have to clarify about the painting look. There is absolutely no painting effect with PS on this shot. I think this is the subject himself which gives this appearance.

Looks like a oil on canvas; interesting colors. Best regards.

Brings to mind the old masters paintings. beautifuly done. Pnina

Excellent photo, good shot!
