Near Candas, Galicia, N. Spain

From accross another mountain. Many people thought I shot this from a

plane. Comments.

Asturias... a beautiful place. Near from my home, Cantabria. Green, very green.

 

 

Michael, An excellent composition, the natural vignette of the surrounding folliage keeping the eye on the highlighted subject. Your trademark use of 'portrait films' for landscapes results in a refreshing, more natural rendition than most of the high contrast, super saturated, (though often excellent) offerings on this site. Seems to me, that for your type of scene, a more subdued presentation fits better while, for a tropical scene like a beach in Hawaii, a Velvia approach is more appropriate. A sponsored shot? If so, I think they got their money's worth. Most appealing, especially to one in central Ontario still experiencing winter's hangover:) Best, LM.

Discard the frame; it distracts from the photograph!

Len, it did get picked by one of my collectors, yes. Hope it warms up soon up there so you can defrost.

 

Yosef, I think all 2-D art should have a border. To hang one without would be like a beautiful women without jewlery or make-up, not quite as beautiful without it. You may disagree with color choice and size, but to show them borderless, like I noticed you do with your own art, can make them look quite plain and more lifeless.

 

Marina, the north of Spain, in Asturias and Galecia counties, are some of the prettiest places in the entire world. You are very blessed to be able to call it home.

 

Thanks too all three of you for your time here. Many blessings, MS

Fantastic the place and the photo.

Perfect

Beautiful place, Asturias, where I live. With this shot you show everybody the fantastic it is. Congratulations

I love the composition too.. outside the photo I think the framing is not accord, just personal opinion, I think the light green stroke gets too much atention, without it, the folliage silouete would be enhanced, anyways fantastic shot.

thanks Ferrando

Yes, a sponsored shot. A Mr. Van Wart, multi-sponsor whom I've not heard from for years now. Last know address was Reno Nevada. Just re-read critiques of this section and noticed I had not answered this question. My bad.

Thanks guys. On the framed, toned it down and re-submitted the image, thus some folks may wonder why it's being commented on, it was much larger and the inner mat a bit brighter than what's now shown.
