A raw of olive trees in the hill in country-side close to my town.

Olive oil is a fruit oil obtained from the olive (Olea europaea; family Oleaceae along with lilacs, jasmine and ash trees), a traditional tree crop of the Mediterranean Basin. It is commonly used in cooking, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and soaps and as a fuel for traditional oil lamps.

The most traditional way of making olive oil is by grinding olives. Green olives produce bitter oil, and overly ripened olives produce rancid oil, so care is taken to make sure the olives are perfectly ripened. First the olives are ground into an olive paste using large millstones. The olive paste generally stays under the stones for 30–40 minutes. The oil collected during this part of the process is called virgin oil. After grinding, the olive paste is spread on fibre disks, which are stacked on top of each other, then placed into the press. Pressure is then applied onto the disk to further separate the oil from the paste. This second step produces a lower grade of oil.

Hello Flaminia,

This is an interesting landscape, with the house on the hill overlooking the fields!
A nice line of trees is separating the fields, and the frame is well divided in sky/land...
I like this contrasty B&W with a tad of oversharpening!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Interesting and well balanced composition! I like the combination of lines on the land and in the sky, and the textures show well in the b&w. Good POV with the buildings at the horizon too. Nice work!

Ciao Flaminia,

Ah, la bella Italia! :-) Mi piace molto questa regione...ed anche la repetizione ;-)

Cordiali saluti,

Natalia

Wonderful composition, Flaminia! Also excellent sharpness, contrast and tonal range of the b&w image! An A+ for the presentation, too! :)

Diana
