Fields in Salem

Your comments are welcome

Me gusta mucho esta composicion tan sobria. Bien visto Alberto.

And yet a great perspective and framing. A very good image of a landscape that is unknown to many.

 

Well seen commendatore.

It's true that's this part of Spain is unknown to many, even to spaniards!

These terraced fields are in south western Valencia, bordering with Alicante, a rugged, mountainous country with windy roads and plenty of small villages (ancient "alquerias" -rural farms-) which keep their ancient arab names (in this case Salem) or, in others, names such as Benifaraig, Beniatjar, Beniali or Beniganim, all of them coming fom the patronymic of the founding muslim family...

Difficult to forget that the muslims settled this part of the world, known as Sharq al Andalus (the orient of Al Andalus), for more than 10 centuries!

Interesting ... with all of the lines moving every which way.

Like Lou Ann said the variation in all the different terraces is fascinating. It looks like an interesting region.

Buena toma del cultivo escalonado en terrazas.

Un poco forzado el color, pero la imagen es interesante.

Very nice work, Alberto! Best regards, Ruud.

Alberto, interesting composition, but I really don't like the light and colours here! I think it could work better in bw and, of course, if you had the possibility to shoot in a better hour, with YOUR light.

Me gusta la composicion geomertica de la foto pero no me parece acertado el corte vertical del arbol. Creo que la foto mejoraria dejando al arbusto en el cuadrante sup izq......... Alberto, cari�o , hoy estoy punyetera ! que le vamos a hacer !!

Following a Nino Baiano's mail suggestion I attach, for your consideration, a B&W version made with channel mixer

Aunque me gustan las composicicones geometricas, o de repeticion de elementos, esta no me dice nada, quizas como dice Nino es la luz, no lo se... Lo siento Alberto.

Alberto: Aca en Mexico, la Konica Centuria se vende como pan caliente, barata y digamos, para todo publico. Tanto que te regalan un carrete con el revelado e impresion de otro. Yo siempre tuve el problema del magenta al escanear esta pelicula. No tengo la mas remota idea de por que. Pero es exactamente el mismo tono que tienen las tuyas. Espero que sirva de algo.
