Painters of the landschape, a photo from Zuid Holland, South

Photographer's Note

The last 2 days i share with you photo's from tulip- and Hyacintenfields. Today the other landschape painter, the Narcis. This are the first flowers to come out and you find them in diffrent yellow tones and white. We had the luck to have this dark sky to frame it what makes the contrast stronger.

Hi Kik and Ko. Spectacular combination of these vibrant flowers and the brooding, dark sky.The copse of trees makes a nice meeting line.Great sense of depth with the diagonals all meeting somewhere in the distance. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Kik Ko,

Oeh nice. I should take the train one day, together with the bike, and go for some nice tulip-field photographs. Not much of these fields around Eindhoven, but very pleasant what you are showing us here! Thanks for sharing!

Greetings, Dennis

Hallo Kik en Ko,
Weer een pracht opname van de "bollen",zo werd het vroeger immers genoemd! Prima perspectief.
Dat mis ik wel hier in Limburg en te ver om even tegaan kijken in N.Holland.Daarom geniet ik dubbel van jullie foto's!
Bedankt en groeten,
Frieda.

Hi KIks,
Yes indeed, you were lucky to have such a dark sky which creates a dramatic contrast with the flowers, illuminated by the sun.
Their yellow harmony is lovely and I like the parallel lines in the field.
Regards from Luik,
Marianne

Cormac (26565) 2008-04-15 9:06

Beautiful shot! The bright flowers and the dark clouds make a very good contrast, very dramatic. Nice use of the diagonal lines too, which makes things more interesting. Well done!

tehanu_f (6896) 2008-04-15 9:40

The compo, colours and the menacing sky are all amazing. There seems to be some noise in the sky, though...but it's nothing neat image cannot handle.

Fusun

romanaa (8430) 2008-04-15 13:19

Hi Kiks,
wonderful one again. I have never realised there are more kinds planted in the fields than tulips.
This is simply great. I love daffodils.
Best regards
Romana

gneufeld (15890) 2008-04-15 19:13

Hi kik,
Well composed shot with strong effect from the long and intense diagonal lines of the rows. I like the dark cloud formations too. Well done and TFS. Gerald

Csilla (1782) 2008-04-15 20:04

Hi Kik!
Beautiful shot with good POV of these different yellow colored Narcisses. I like the contrast between the vivid flower colors and the dark dramatic sky.
Thanks Kik!
Csilla

pablominto (53746) 2008-04-16 0:26

Hello Kiks,
I like the composition and the colour palette!
There are fine lines in the frame and the forest of naked trees in the background makes a fine division between land and sky...
Dramatic cloudy sky makes the situation complete, the atmosphere is well captured!
Greetings,
Pablo -

:-) OK-

Hi Kiks!

Now, that's why the Netherlands are famous for their painters!!! Well, it's normal with such landscapes! Excellent capture, fantastic diagonal perspective and graphic result, amazing light managment, the cloudy sky makes an impressive contrast with the very vivid colours of the flowers. Congratulations!

Hi Kik,

Which marvellous contrast of colors between this fields of tulips and this sky cloudy. I like much. The selected format is judicious to give a beautiful depth to the landscape and to accentuate the beautiful prospect. A pretty glance Kik, cheer.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

Bluejeans (64251) 2008-04-18 9:55

Ola Kik ,
Magnifica foto com este campo de tulipas amarelas , fazem um belo contraste com o céu carregado de nuvens cinza, boa profundidade de foto, parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

picus (914) 2008-04-18 14:26

Congratulations!

I've tried so many times to capture that very magic yellow/black contrast. Never really succeded, to be honnest. Either I got water on the lens, or there was something in the background I didn't like, or I couldn't stop the car at that spot...

You've been lucky! But also expert in transforming the moment into a picture. Congrats

Hi Kik,
this looks very beautiful. You managed to make a rather dramatic look on these tulip fields with the dark sky and the strong light. Graphic perspective with the yellow stripes standing out in nice contrast.

Stepan (27210) 2008-06-10 11:40

This grey and yellow mood is simply excellent, producing a sad atmosphere, a heavy moment... Excellent framing with that "side-pov". Well done.
Stéphane

giorgimer (35017) 2008-06-11 4:17

plimrn (21344) 2008-06-13 11:54

Hi Kiks,
Nice light and detail,the bands of color angled across the compo make a strongly graphic point.
HLJ, Pat

jafadabret (56501) 2008-11-04 10:45

Bonjour Kik.
J'aime le graphisme et les couleurs des fleurs mais ce qui est le plus intéressant c'est ce ciel très menaçant qui domine cette lumière qui semble sortir de terre.
Jacques

Hello Kik -

This is a dramatic scene of shades of yellow. I like the diagonal field lines, the several different shades of yellow in the fields, and the dramatic and threatening sky. Well done!

Thank you for sharing.

John

BluSimo (9392) 2010-05-08 4:09

Hi Kik Ko
I had never seen in my life an entire field of narcissuses...! fantastic the point of escape created by the stripes of the flowers, under a stormy sky and their contrasting color. great fascination in this photo!
ciao, have a nice week end

Hi Kiks, This is stunning- The Dafs in the UK are now out and hopefully will start looking like this.. well done Rich

Robert1969 (7160) 2011-03-31 0:28

Hallo Kik,

Mooie uitgangspunt heb je genomen, want
de diagonale lijnen in de foto zorgen
voor extra diepte en heb je verder deze
foto ook heel goed verdeeld.

De donkere wolken zorgen voor extra
spanning in de foto, maar benadrukt ook
weer extra de kleuren, die al op zichzelf
mooi zijn vanwege de goede belichting.

Vriendelijke groetjes,
Robert

francio64 (39888) 2011-08-20 2:54

Hi kik,
ottimo taglio verticale per questa bella composizione fotografica.
Straordinario contrasto cromatico tra i fiori gialli ed il cielo grigio.
Ottimo DOF e grande senso grafico.

TFS!
Francesco

m00n (2259) 2012-01-26 5:57

The place is in my plans to visit this year. I wonder whether at the beginning of May I see blooming tulips. I hope so and I hope to be equally successful images.
Regards Monika

REZA_V (700) 2012-05-12 9:36

Hello
Beautiful picture and great composition. Very well.
With respect

abmdsudi (95869) 2012-11-03 6:58

Hi kiks
This is an outstanding shot and immerse depth packed by extremely contrasting colors with that impressive threatening dark sky shading the brightly lit yellow fields, this is a rare moment of exceptional beauty of mother nature has offered. Such a dramatic atmosphere that you are blessed by the magic light making to such a fabulous shot combined by the right elements. There are numerous things to catch the eye here and your timing is no wrong. This is a picture of pure brilliance, Congrats. TFS
Warm regards

jcpix (14030) 2013-03-05 14:55

Hi Kik,

I've always enjoyed pictures with dark, heavy clouds...not only for the strong contrast, but for the atmosphere that can only be felt through an approaching storm. Because of the impending darkness the yellow flowers just explode off of the page with color. I especially like how this is divided between the diagonal field, the "vertical horizon," and the cloud formations. Three separate elements that work so well in this upright composition. Great shot!

Cheers,

Jason

lucasgalodoido (27698) 2015-01-08 8:00

Olá Kik,
realmente uma foto impressionante essa, além do campo de tulipas, que por si só já vale a imagem, o contraste com o tempo nebuloso ficou muito bom. Belo trabalho, amigo.
Parabéns e Abraço,
Lucas
