Lush green in Normandy

Took this picture in the Haute-Normandie (France) during last summer while I was on my way to the air show in Evreux. What you see is the village of Acquingny at the river Eure. The lush green of the hills makes this a fairytale look hamlet. It shows in my opinion a part of the beauty of France.

Hopefully you enjoy this view.


PP-work:
Shot in RAW, adjusted contrast and saturation, increased contrast of clouded sky even more and also decreased the brightness of this area. Reduced noise in the sky too. Sharpenend, cropped and sharpenend again. Add frame and text and finally resized.

Good afternoon Hansie

What a beautiful looking scene, like a fairy tale image. Wondeful buildings, lush grasses and trees and a neat flowing river .... I wrote all that then read your notes lol... well it apears we see images in a similar way my friend. A beautiful image well shot and presented.. just a small mention that some of the tree along the skyline show a little where the PP work is done on the sky.. nothing drastic though.

TFS this delightful view.

Kind regards Helen

Prachtig land, I agree, Hans.
Jammer dat ze er Frans spreken. Overblijfsel van Napoleon, tuurlijk. Nu weer zo'n klein kreng aan het bewind.
Ze leren het nooit, toch ?
Bonjour, mon ami.
