Letters or Words of Greek alphabet only, can snap a shape, an idea, an opinion. Greek Civilization and Language are Mother and Father of Modern Europe. EUREKA! This boulevard well matched to ∑ so “this could be right title, I thought”. PENTAX camera K20D on tripod and PENTAX lens Zoom 55-300mm(Mighty). HDR in Photomatix using five different captures (+/-1; +/- 0.5; 0). Manual Exposure.Manual Focusing. Place: South area of Val d’Orcia-Tuscany-Italy. I choosed HDR path to keep wide range of tones and lights that scene offered to me at that moment. Wood (dried) in foreground bears red-tones and these different colours attracted my attention. This mix of red-green(almost a mix of two different seasons at same time in same place:fall and spring) gave a special feeling-look to the whole compo.

Great tones and strong composition. You have made good use of HDR to achieve a broad range of tones and light, but still managing to give the image a non-HDR look.

I can't decide whether the green is too saturated or not..it's certainly a striking image and cleverly titled.

That road looks like a real 'drivers' road, I keep saying I must visit Tuscany some time as I do like the scenery.

...Welcome to Tuscany. About saturation: I woke up early in the morning to reach that place.(h8 i was ready but waited half an hour just for this hazy light).Days before light was hard enough at that hour and angle of sun rays gave me this "over-deep" tones. Useless writing (but you ALL know) that I'm a fan of these kind of colours....and no polarizing...By the way: in the past this road has been used several times for "rallies"...

I love the tones. Van Gogh took the approach....didn't do too badly artistically. I agree with knowing your own environment and personal understanding of how you want to portray it. Mine has a dark, hinterland approach which bears no resemblance to the dunes in summertime. But that's how I want to portray my photographs. This photograph? I see the sunshine Italy that I visited for a wedding 3/4 years ago. Best time of my life socially. Happy memories so...Thankyou for relighting that memory.
