There's a wonderful feeling I get when I view this image and it must be as a result of the superb light you captured here. The tones look so natural and compliment the beautiful sequence of elevated layers the hills provide. The sky as we know does not always co-operate however in this image I think it adds nicely to the peaceful mood you
captured.

Muy lindo mi amigo - y sin vin(y)as ningunas! Soy de acuerdo de cortando un poco de arriba, para hacer mas dramaticeza(?) al cielo.

Hola Martin, amigo escocés
Thank you for your comment + suggestion about cropping some of the sky. As you can see from the format, this has already been cropped (from the top), I guess in this case more would indeed be better than not enough.
This was taken on the way back to the place where we stayed, in the Forterre region, a land where there are no vineyards, just endless crop fields.
Wonderful layering and lines in this image. I agree with the others that suggested cropping a bit off the top--just not too much of interest up there. I also think these tones would lend well to a BW conversion. Just a thought...
santiago, that is exquisite, almost looks like a painting. Too bad the sky wasn't a little more interesting but I know how that is, you take what you can get.
I like the sky in this one, Santiago. The low clouds "contain" the scene very nicely. Love the gentle layers of the foreground and the soft light and colors.

All you need is something---anything!---with a John Deere logo, and we could very easily be on the Palouse! Nicely layered diagonals...I am, however, in the camp of those who'd like a tighter crop on the sky...if it could be done without costing you any detail in the mid- and foreground, of course. Dave
There were plenty of John Deere tractors out there (as you can see the fields were just ploughed and harrowed), but they were all gone (supper time) Thanks for commenting, Dave.

Looks a lot like Palouse, perhaps fewer hills. I like the layered FG, I do agree the sky is lacking a bit and would like to see the scene illuminated by sunlight a bit too. But it's a fine take on the scene.

Lovely soft light and layers, and the Palouse comparison is most fitting.
I like the scene, as is, but I can also see a crop to just above the main body of clouds. Just another thought
Very pleasing, Santiago.

santiago, This is a nice photograph.
With the sky cropped completely this would become a photo about colours and patterns. Just another way of seeing this.

I am sure it is, Y, as I gave it a try following your advice. This is but one of the possible views.

that's crazy beautiful! the colors are muted but very crisp! i also agree about the sky crop. there's some "blank space up there". maybe you don't have anymore of the bottom, which is why you can't crop?...
Below the grass was the narrow road on which I stood, but sure enough, I can crop more of the sky. Thanks for sharing your perspective, Binh.
