Under the Tuscan sun

[smithfly114]

I am rather proud of this one if I do say so.

It is an exellent shot. My only complant is leaves on the right. They are really distracting. Beautiful scene though.

[coreypolis]

great shot, Rob hit it on the nose with the leaves though

[smithfly114]

I agree. Here is one without the leaves, althought I lost the horizon:(

[R_Metzel]

Still an awesome shot without the horizon.

I agree. Here is one without the leaves, althought I lost the horizon:(The shot didn't need the horizon. The lighting caught on the ground and the zig-zag path are the important bits anyway. ;)

Great shot, I love Tuscanny. Beautiful part of the world

[Becca]

I like the second one better. Like John said, the patterns and light in the fields are what really makes this shot special. Good job!

[staciecd]

I really like the shot without the leaves. Great capture and colors! Did you use a filter?

Stacie

[smithfly114]

Thank you all. It is a very beautiful part of the world.
I used a polarizing filter.
I wish I has taken the second shot a bit later durring the course of the sunset to capture the darker shadow tones, but oh well.

[TSEE]

Awesome shot...I want to go too!!! ;o)

Although I think it's better without the leaves, and agree that it doesn't really need the horizon because the interest is in the landscape, I don't understand why you had to crop it in such a way that the horizon was eliminated?

I love Tuscany, but can't convince my wife that we should move there.

I actually did not crop it. I zoomed in a bit to get the leaves out of the shot

The second shot is definitely it, Corbett.

I love the colors on the first one, why not crop it?

[sparker1]

I also like the second one much better...beautiful.

[Buggbairn]

Great shot, I bet your kicking yourself about the intrusion of the leaves.

With all that lovely light you'll have to make something from the shot :lol:

I'd have a play around with it, there are other crops you could look at to include the horizon.

[Actionphotog]

without the horizon you don't get the feel for how grand a place Tuscany is.
As far as the leaves go they add prospective.
Should see if a tour company will buy the photo

[SWPhotoImaging]

I love the colors on the first one, why not crop it?

Ditto for me. A square crop that leaves the horizon but loses the leaves?

[Big_B]

Agreed steve. Lovely shot either way though.

[Suedezu]

Great looking shot.

It's much better without the leaves and even without the horizon.

[SoaringUSAEagle]

I like them both. As mentioned several times, the leaves in the foreground are distracting but do a crop and it'd look great. I would have but you dont have image editing allowed.

Anyhow, beautiful shots!

[Raindancer]

Great shot Corbett and like the second the best. I'd like to see the cropped shot with the horizon.
