Golden Butterfly

Photo Information

Camera PENTAX K20D on tripod and Sigma Lens 400 mm APO. The golden field of harvested wheat reminded me of a Golden Butterfly. I like lights of early morning and late afternoon. They add a special feeeling to shapes of this Land and give a special chance to lovely Val d'Orcia. Place: a view from Pienza-Val d’Orcia-Tuscany-Italy.PS. When taking capture of “Val d’Orcia in a Nutshell”(I’ll upload it next days) I realized that it was possible to “zoom-in”the scene using a telephoto-lens so to frame this new compo. I hope you like it.

Wow! This is a magnificent study of form, light & shadow

I would love to visit the Val d'Orcia one day, to see the graceful landscapes with my own eyes.

This is a wonderful photograph. Must have won something with this. Won my heart anyway
