May_Day, a photo from Magnisia, Thessaly

Photographer's Note

May Day (May 1st) is celebrated in many places around the world. The traditions and stories surrounding May Day vary from place to place. There is, however, one thing that is similar in most celebrations - the use of Flowers!
-The imprinting of picture became from their foot of Mountain Othrys. Can distinguish in the depth my city Almyros the sea of Pagasitiko's Gulf and the mountain Pelion. The fields with the green colour are cereals

Hi Georgios,
Lovely perspective delivering a pleasant spring impression due to the strong greens and the poppies, having the lone tree at its end is a definite plus.
Have a nice day jY

Georgios,
Beautiful red flowers flanking the road leading us to the single tree in the back. Great green rolling fields. Nice creamy blue of distant mountains & sky complementing the color of the gravel path. Latiff.

Hello Georgios,
A very pretty composition with an excellent point of view. The curving track with the lovely red poppies either side draws the eye fully into the image towards the haze covered mountains. Lovely warm/cool tonal contrasts. Superb colours and clarity.

Γεια σου Γιώργο,
Υπέροχη η επιλογη της φωτογραφίας για την συγκεκριμένη μέρα. Η προοπτική καθώς και η χρωματική αντίθεση ειναι φανταστική. Το μόνο που θα παρατηρούσα είναι ότι οι παπαρούνες στο πρώτο πλάνο είναι εκτός εστίασης. Γνωρίζοντας βέβαια ότι δεν μπορείς να βάλεις πιο κλειστό διάφραγμα, θα πρότεινα να είχες εστιάσει μπροστά και ας ήταν το background φλου. Βέβαια, υπόθεση κάνω και μπορεί το τελικό αποτέλεσμα να μην φαίνεται καλό.

Φιλικά Γιάννης

Γεια σου Γιώργο
Πολύ καλή σύνθεση και πολύ έντονα ευχάριστα χρώματα που ταιριάζουν με την εποχή. Πολύ καλά τοποθετημένο και το δένδρο αν και ένα μικρό φωτοστέφανο το έχει, αμυδρό βέβαια από την χρήση του Highlight.

Χρήστος

Hi Georgios,
Beautiful view over the fields, the green tones are wonderful, but what I really like, are all the poppies on both sides of the road. Also the lonely tree is a nice detail and I like the layered view of the mountains in the background. Very well done!
Regards,
Lars

Hi Georgios,

you sure have access to some pretty places it seems. Combined with your skill of composing a photo give a very nice result...

feather (51130) 2008-05-06 14:41

The red of the poppies is simply stunning. The contrast between the red and the vivid green of the new crops is excellent. Good use of the track in the composition to lead the eye into the frame. A very eye-catching image. Well done

Hello Georgios,
The colour contrast is an eye-catcher, so is the gravel road taking my eyes to the horizon..!
An attractive composition with the lonely tree and the great feeling of depth, lovely lines!
Greetings,

Bonjour Georgios,
ces coquelicotsd qui bordent la route comme pour saluer les usagers, donnent une jolie touche de rouge, celle qui se combine bien avec les bleus et les verts de la photo.
Beaucoup de profondeur, mкme si la brume voulait jouer un rфle de masque.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hi Georgios

I love the composition of your photo.

The various shades, offer a wonderful contrast of colors and gentle. The depth of field, it is undeniable, and the handling of light, has been excellent.

Thank you for sharing.

John

Angshu (56760) 2008-05-11 21:11

Hello Georgios
A fine perspective with the path leading us right into the picture. Love the path lined by the red flowers (poppies?) & the green fields beyond. What does not appear very clear in the thumbnail, but plays a signatificant role in the beauty are the layers of blue mountains in the BG. Excellent colours & depth! Good work.
Best Regards
Angshu

pboehringer (770) 2008-05-28 20:10

Georgios,
I might be coming late to this image, but it is absolutely worth it. This shot has a perfect composition! The road leads diagonally deep into the landscape with the RED poppies framing this lead. Simply great. BUT, that isn't the only great detail of this composition. You also got the single tree, obviously off center to the right and finally in the far background the two mountains lost in the mist and two little clouds. This might be the only weak part of the image and an additional use of a circular polarizing filter would have enhanced it to the point to make it PERFECT!

georgios (Jorge in Portuguese)

Wonderful view, a gardner wouldn't do better than this. The plantation (useful) and the flowers (not useful) are perfectly put. The way is nicely put and that tree is perfect where it is..Our eyes goes to the mountains ahead. Magic moment, light, pov, colors and sharpness are perfect. Masterpiece. A triple WOW

Hi Georgios, I like this one very much, in pretty color and depth, with the tree in intermediate position, and the hint of the mountain range back there... It's nice to follow the path into the frame, esp. when it becomes just a path of flowers... Regards, Daniel
