The first thing I noticed about England on our trip was how GREEN it is - every shade and hue of green filled my winter-weary eyes.

Shooting into the sun means a washed out sky here, but when I painted it over, the faded hills in the distance no longer looked natural. So here it is - as is :)

Thanks for looking, for your critiques and workshops and have a wonderful, healthy, happy week

Love the road in this one Silke, it just leads your eyes through the pretty green hills! Really intense color here, Excellent sharpness on this!

Hello Silke,
A very pretty scene, I like the road leading in. Beautiful colors and scenery. TFS and have a happy day!

Hi Silke,
This is a nicely composed shot and shows the English coutryside well, I like the use of the road to lead the eye through the shot, as you say the sky is washed out, maybe the use of a Grad ND filter would have helped but I know that you have to limit the kit when on holiday.
Well done
Regards Andy

Hi Silke,
Hahaha...I have almost the same view pictured and right now even have it as desktop picture on my laptop. Tomorrow I will post it as WS Due the position of the sun it was hardly impossible to get a blue sky (while it was) Anyway the lush greens are great and indeed typical English landscape. Great frame work too!

Hola amiga,
preciosa vista,
detalles y bello pov,
hermosa compo.
saludos

Hi Silke,
Like what friends mentioned before, the use of the road to lead our eyes through the scenery is interesting. And I agreed with you for the beauty of greeen - wide green.
Regards,
Ramdan.

Wonderfully green rolling hills capture Silke.
Seems like a storybook type of place.
Yes, the sky is washed out, but the landcaps and POV make this worth it.
Very well seen and captured.

Good Sunday Morning Silke

Really like the thashed roof cottage in amoung the trees. The front lighting gove you some nice shadows. To bad the sky wasn't more cooperative, oh well we can't have it all.

Oh yes, a green and very pleasant land Silke. That's what I noticed about England too. And the lovely farm cottages too. And the flower boxes outside the pubs and buildings (in July to Sept). Also the fields then in the middle of summer were more like patchwork.
The green here is so attractive.

Hi Silke,

Excellent composition and the predominant color tones, green, look great, incredible green I can say. Also very good perspective and presentation. TFS
Best regards,
Sorina

I actually pondered over this for some time yesterday at this time Silke, such a pity there was not more cloud cover, then the sky would have looked better. A lovely display of greens however and well composed.

Not the most beautiful sky but the compo and the gorgeous green compensate it for sure.
