Tuscany Trees

I'm not sure that the composition is all it could be, however. That large area of green and the 50-50 horizontal division are a bit clumsy, but that's just me.

Giulio land! What a wonderful landscape.

Hi Andrew. I was there with Phil and his lovely wife. We spent all day together taking piccies of those places. Sorry Phil if I add this cmt....i hope you don't offend for this caption. Please Phil: may upload collage sent to you on PUG? I'll do after your OK.
About compo: IMHO it was the best place wher to take this picture. On the right lives a small uphill. From that position we could take another good capture but we decided to go down: this was the only coloured area in foreground. However Phil will add something more useful using right words in English...mine is a little bit poor.

I agree with the first line, but there is nothing wrong with a 50-50 split depending on the subject matter. I would argue that it is 66-33 anyway. Again, just an opinion.

I thought that there was probably a good reason, Giulio. I was just itching to walk over the brow of the hill to the right and use that road to lead in the eye, perhaps space the trees out a little more evenly. But, of course, you need to be there to see the true potential. I stand corrected!

It is a lovely landscape and does have Giulio's 'feel' to it. I would have loved to see this with the viewer taken a few steps to the right, to move the dividing line between yellow and green and also to make sure that winding road was visible in its entirety. Of course, I wasn't there so I may be 100% wrong about this!

I'll upload another one tomorrow taken from the other side of the road. However, I've stuck with the 50:50 horizon for no other reason than I like the clouds!
However, just for the sake of clarity about the original - I do agree with Stan's comment about the bare earth, but I wanted to keep the yellow flowers in the foreground. Maybe I should have just 'cloned in' some more grass to cover the bare earth!
