Hello my friend Pablo,

Beautiful rural landscape, I like this a lot, full of earth, bush, the whole nature in his turn, far away from urban centers.
Beautiful visual, I liked to see and to remind from my trips to the center of the state of São Paulo.

Hi Pablo,
Your files contain true treasures! What beautiful light on this landscape. Your composition with the tractor in foreground and the river like a snake through the valley is excellent. If one day, you come in Gaspésie, I will show you a landscape which is very resembling to it! Very well done! Annie

A mechanised horse is working in the farm lands......

Variation of light is beautifully captured in this spectacular image. Capture of z-axes is smartly presented by amount of haze on ridge after another. An exciting point of view is increasing the charm of vision. Nice take of a dim light day, well done.

Thanks for sharing a nice view.

Hi Pablo,

A lovely landscape photo!! Indeed the sidelight makes the colours look richer and contrast nicely with the haze background!
Good idea to include the trackter, as it compliments the photo well!
Thanks for the WS photo!! I really like it and I wish I could experience sunset at 2:30PM...

Well done

Hazy, heavy air: One can almost feel a completely unseasonable humid heat here.
I love the many layers of landscape that you have captured here, though
And the tractor in the foreground tells a story, suggests that it has been hard work taming this valley.

Reminds me of the old days in the Austrian Mountains, Pablo. Nice atmosphere in this view.
For the low light: we do have similar conditions here, and I lived in Sweden for a while, so I know what you are talking about. But it can be challenging. Sundown at 3:30 pm etc...

Hi Pablo! Your summer photo is very good, but your midday pic of the setting sun is remarkable! I wonder why we do not appreciate what we have at hand but always look for something else?! I hope well be lucky to see some more from the shortest days scenes in Norway - there's not much left for this year, am I right?
Wishing you all the best!

Hi Pablo,
Nice summertime posting my friend. This remebers me at the "good ol' time" when I was in Germany for holyday with my parents. The lazy river down in the valley just wonderful. One comment the distance (BG) is a bit hazy, a increase of contrast might improve this (IMHO). Nevertheless a fine posting my friend! TFS.

That is a very early sunset. I'm not use to anything before six even in winter. Stunning image. The vivid colours of the tractor against the haze on the mountains. And no snow? If I think of European winters I think snow the whole time. But I see the sun is shining.

•  
• shutterbill (1740)
• [2007-01-08 3:07]

Hi Pablo,
The light in this image looks great to me.
The strong, low side lighting is creating a lovely strong contrast in the foreground.
The background just fades into softer colours nicely, well positioned red tractor too.
Just a suggestion but because of the hazy atmosphere I would crop the clouds out to make the sky colour appear more uniform, less sky in this image works for me too.
Thanks,
b.

Hello Pablo!

Happy New Year first . I know I am late , but I am working on TL more sporadically these days (*_^). Nice souvenir shot of the last summer, although a second a thought you were presenting us your idea of the global warming effect in Norway (^_^) with an ususual January shot !!!!

Well composed as usual. Typical light and hazy mood of a hot an humid summer day. The tractor is definitely a great addition to your composition.

Very nice colour, nice contrast and pov.

And I appreciate so much that you show us Norway in december at 2:29 what it looks like. Very informative. You can take advantage of it and post many superb photos.

Well seen and executed! Yan :)

Great photo, though the hoya didn't do it's job properly, sky is still a bit too white/ gray-ish and bright.

Someone taught me recently to build my compositions from left to right since most people read left to right and hence it will have a greater perceived impact - it works 99% of the time as I've been experimenting with it... I did a little WS to prove my point.

Let me know what you think...

The downside of all those beautiful hillsides.
Pablo, I think this is beautiful just the way it is - I have seen the blue gradient filter, but that changes the atmosphere - so this is better. Love that you included the too early sunset - the landscape then is dark, but since that is the way it is, why changing. Sometimes we change too much when we know how to apply the tools and lose some of the "emotion" the picture otherwise can show us.
Have a nice weekend,

Hello Pablo. I am fond of this machine and don't you just love the rice tires! You have made the shot one better by anchoring the tractor at the hillside with the dreamy view. Stunning foreground with beautiful color of the tractor against the dreamy view underneath the hillside. Thanks for sharing and best regards. Jusni
