Description My neighbour has a wall,
But it’s just to protect me
Against the bad winds…

My neighbour has a door,
But it’s just to let me in
And have a drink...

Our skies are open and free
Our hearts too...
...
..
.

Shot yesterday evening before the sunset. This is my neighbour’s vineyard, just close to my own land. All our lands here are divided by those huge stones walls that the ancients have built with their hands, during years and years, with the stones they were pulling out of the poor ground to be able to plant something to feed their family... It was a really hard but so noble and beautiful work...

Canon EOS 300D + Canon zoom 10 -22 mm @ 10 mm.
Contrast and clarity with Photoshop, noise reduction and frame with Paint Shop Pro...
Note: the sky is natural, as usual...

The clouds in your photos are usually really dark!!! Where currently I live they're too white (if they're present at all)

comme d'habitude, je dois penser longtemps avant trouver les mots que je veux dire.
c'est tellement belle, et je pense, comment est-ce possible que la terre semble si vivant?
toutes les couleurs dans ce photo me plait les yeux.
you are my favorite!
Comment tu trouves mon francais? Je sais je ne peux pas faire les accents.

Une photo vraiement belle, oui monsieur. Hier aussi il y avait des nuages comme ça à Majorque, j'aurais plutôt du sortir pour prendre des photos au lieu de rester à maison étudiant

À Menorque aussi les diférentes parcelles sont séparées par de murs de pierre construits depuis longtemps à partir des cailloux trouver sur le même terrain.

Je vais te poser le devianwatch parce que j'ai déjà vu beaucoup de tes travaux qui son formidables

j'aime beaucoup la vue, et je crois que t'as bien de la chance d'avoir ce genre de paysage pas loin de chez toi
comme d'hab j'aime bien aussi les ptits textes que tu rajoutes a coté, meme si j'aimerai bien voir une version francaise a coté

sinon niveau technique, je trouve que la manip de clarté est un peu trop évidente (d'où le dégradé marqué entre la terre et le ciel)
mais bon ca donne un style, ton style
ps: j'aime bien les couleurs du bas de la photo, gris, rouge, marron, et vert, ca se marie bien

I like this very much. There is a great range of environments in this shot too. 1/4 dry arid stone, 1/4 healthy lush green grass, 1/4 grey and looming skies and then the last little piece of beautiful blue sky. Composition is really great, well done Definately a Favourite
