Hello dear friends,

Last weekend, my hubby and I was at Percé to celebrate our 35th years of wedding anniversary. When I saw this house under this threatening sky and strongly anchored on its base I thought at our love story! Enought strong to pass by any strong storms in our life! :)

RAW photo. I chose shade and landscape tools with Digital photo professional. I converted in TIFF (16 bit) for a light adjustment of curves with PS CS3.

Thanks you for passing by and commenting! Have a nice week!

Very nice contrast with the white house, the dark sky and the tender green grass. Have you seen the blue corner, like a hope ? Happy wedding anniversary : love resists to all storms !
Best regards
John

Hi Annie,
Excellent composition and light. The striking reds and whites do excellent contrast against the dark dramatic sky. Great posting Annie!
Hans

Hi Annie

outstanding catch of the proceeding storm upon the white house near the top of the green hill.
I like so much the definition of the colors, the perfect contrast and, most of all, the pov with these featured cumulus humilis and the clear sky in background.

Very nice also the dinstribution of the light.

TFS

Excellent presentation!
I am astonished how fragile the house will
overcome this storm!
No doubt it is a visually stunning,
Clarity and sharpness are very well, this is very well done.
Colors and presentation are superb.

Bonjour Annie,

Original POV avec le rocher percé en arrière plan et impressionnant contraste dans les couleurs.

Salutations,
Léonce.

Annie, bonjour.
We love this type of strange light, where skies go dark and white goes 'blindingly' whiter. The colours saturated, thanx, M, (*_*)

P.S CONGRATULATIONS!

hi annie,
first of all congratulations on your 35th anniversary - and secondly, congratulations on this stunning image!
the contrast between the sky, the grass and the house is impressive, you did an excellent PP =)
cris

Hello Annioe,

Congratulations on your wedding anniversary; a strong foundation and a strong love!
A very strong photograph. The building is so clear and bold despite the the ominous nature of the clouds in the sky. Its white and red colours are luminescent against the dark, swirling grey.
Your pov works well with the lines on the lawn curving nicely towards the focal point.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Great colors and overall mood.
Nice catch

First of all Happy Anniversary!! I love how you tied that into this picture. An awesome picture!! Beautiful work. I like how the white house stands out from the dark grass and mean looking clouds. TFS

Hello Annie,
une note delicieuse, et ta photo c'est vraiment bien balancée entre la limpidité de la maison et l'obscurité de l'entourage.
Bien symbolisé!
Ciao, Elena

Annie, The house looks strong and sturdy against the storm. The deep green of the grass is beautiful. Red roof looks great against the gray sky. Well seen! :) Lisa

Hello Annie

Wonderful capture of this approaching storm. Excellent POV

Regards
Jimmy

Fantastic light - even in the thumbnail that aspect stood out and grabbed my attention.

The feeling of that glowering, ominous light that comes before a storm is so well presented here.

Well presented with the frame and your very subtle, believable post treatment.

Bonsoir Annie

The dark storm cloud looks very black & ominous. Good graphism of the white facade of the solitary house on the green hill against the threatening thunderstorm on the horizon. Excellent framing & diffused light. Tfs, et amicalement!

First of all Annie, congratulations on your 35th anniversary ... that's quite a milestone!
This is a most beautiful landscape, and you've composed the shot very well, with the house on the left, the huge rock on the right, and that patch of bright sky on the right also. Just an amazing looking sky! Great job
Trudy

Hi Annie,
Very good light management, good idea to shoot in RAW. The thick blanket of cloud looks great, can see it breaking up to the right. Well composed building, all the details look crisp and clear.

TFS,
Scott.

Hi Annie,
Beautiful simple compo, the nice colorful house under the menacing grey sky, the grass, the brown rock. Well framed. It must be so exciting to live in such an isolated house on top of the hill, with the impressive panorama under your eyes....
TFS,
Andreea

Bonjour ASnnie.
Le contraste de cette maison blanche sur ce ciel noir ne prédit rien de bien bon si ce n’est la chance de voir ce beau spectacle et d’en avoir fait pour nous cette belle photo.
Merci.
Bonne soirée.

Annie,

Even the patterns in the grass conspire to lift this shot - a beautiful, densely saturated image of enduring quality - that's probalby appropriate!

Cheers

Love the dramatic mood and stark contrasts here, Annie. I think I mentioned before that some of your work reminds me of the settings in an Andrew Wyeth painting - not necessarily the one in this link, but his overall oeuvre d’art.

Wow! Annie quel belle prise, un ciel a faire peur.

Bravo pour cette capture.

Hi Annie
I see some top notch photowork in your gallery lately, light, colours and scenes which are enjoyable to see. The mood in this one is first rate while the grass shows excellent detail.

Dear Annie
All the photos I miss are amazing.
The composition is superb... a superb dream house that you find in a celebration day...so great.
The light is the second reason of my love.
Pure poetry lives inside you.
Thanks.
Um abraço
