Abbaye de Senanque

Hi Robert, this must be viewed large to get the impact of the foreground. Is that a lavender field? I like the movement of the rows pulling the eye down to the abbey and then beyond into the trees. There is an interesting light effect on the field, a little like a solarization. The image conveys warmth even without colour, probably through the warm toning you have used. It's a relaxing composition and I wouldn't mind spending a day there.

Comments, ratings appreciated on famous abbey, especially on

composition and tone.

Hanna, you're absolutely right about the lavender. I was there in June and the lavender wasn't quite in bloom. It was a very strange green that almost glowed. It's a very beautiful spot--one of the most frequently photographed places in France.

beautiful shot

Great shot, textures and perspective are awesome!

Carlos and Maria, thanks for your comments. I hope to return here in the future and see it when the lavendar is in bloom.
