Blue and green

This little cypress forest, or whatever you name it, is one of the most photographed places in Val d'Orcia. It's very close to San Quirico d'Orcia and always, regardless the moment of the day, there are people shooting at it. I think that its name is Santa Maria.
Single RAW and circular PL.

Thanks for stopping by and comments are welcome.
Have a nice weekend.

So very true, but you managed to capture it from a peculiar, less common perspective.
Needless to add it looks beautiful

A perfect illustration of the rules of third my friend! And also superb combination of green/blue, excellent contrast! Reminds me one of your old rice field shot.

I really like this... The infinite dof is great, the colors are strong, yet appropriate and the composition is excellent...

Hola Salva, aquí estoy de vuelta ;-)

La verdad es que es una foto preciosa, rozando la perfección en cuanto a colores (me encanta la combinación) y la posición del grupo de árboles al fondo. Es una auténtica maravilla.

Muchas gracias por tus comentarios y por tus ánimos.

The rolling hills are simply great but what makes this shot work so well and marvelous is the sky. The blues are striking! Yet, soft enough to not steal the attention of the cypresses. Gorgeous and soothing scene, Salva. Hope you had a great weekend, my friend!

Para mí, la mejor foto de la Toscana. El componente artístico, con la composición elegida, es de una gran calidad. El componente técnico y el tratamiento, como siempre, están muy cuidados. Pero esta foto tiene el plus de una composición preciosa....

Admirable la calidad de todas tus fotos, no me cansare de decírtelo. Es más, cuando consigues estos resultados tan naturales consigues doblegar el interés y haces que me quede alucinando con tus composiciones,...con los tonos y con la fantástica nitidez de tus fotos.
