    From the afternoon walks

    In spite of the cloudy day we decided to go for a walk in the fields

    Nicely captured, cloudy days are made for warm or vibrant colors.

    Very nice shot, Antonio -- I am just a little bit on the side of a more narrower frame.

    Re: From the afternoon walks

    Thank you John and Izzie for your comments.

    @ Izzie
    I think the cropping is just fine Izzie. The image looks to me well balanced and a tighter crop would - perhaps - isolate the tree from the context.
    Anyway, thank you for your opinion. It is always good to read other people's points of view...
    I usually have 3 crop proportions. I rarely change from one to another. This option gives - in my point of view and work - consistency to the hole photographic work I have been doing so far.
    When I take the picture I have already in mind - more or less - the final image. It works most of the times.

    How about the wild mushrooms (not to be eaten) herewith ?

    Antonio, beautiful captures.

    The crop in each image works for me, as does the framing and titling. I was however drawn back to the framing of first image.
    I cannot remember you framing with a black outer border before, and although it works well on the posted image, I found it somewhat distracting on the lightbox view.

    It's about right for me also Antonio. It would be a shame to narrow the context in which the tree sits too much because of its weathered look and age.

    Antonio,

    As ever, you show yourself to be a master when it comes to capturing and presenting subjects to great effect. The angle of the tree in the first shot really appeals and I thinks sits very well in the frame.

    (Despite me commonly looking for the crop, I think this would lose so much by attempting such a move in this case).

    I wonder what next in the series?

    I am not referring to the cropping, Antonio, of the shot. I am referring to the white frame around it.

    If I read correctly most of the comments were - or rather, are - about the framing not the crop.
    I decided to move definitively to this kind of presentation - which I will describe in a few moments - after I decided that I only - or mostly - work by projects. This procedure makes me to produce coherent set of images all in the same size, treatment and so forth.
    The presentation is always with white canvas with a line at the bottom. Above, the name of the project and bellow some kind of information about the project.
    But for example when I photograph my grandson I always use his name above and bellow the place where we are and his age. A legacy I hope !

    The canvas has quite an advantage: better presentation, you hold the white area and not the image itself, you can easily place the image inside a frame to hang on the wall and so on. I can't remember of anything else now...

    Make an experiment:
    Print one image without canvas and another with. Compare. Which you like best ? Ask your friends. Show it to others and ask their opinion. Make a decision about it and pursuit your choice.
    However, be careful to show your example to the right persons. I mean show them to people who have a minimum sense of aesthetics.

    Meanwhile I present you with another one. Remember do not eat mushrooms you do not know the origine !
