Wheat fields, a photo from Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha

Photographer's Note

Because of the proximity to the center of the Marquis de Moya, some believe the name comes from its location adjacent to it, being the term that was formerly known as the "Lindet" or abuts the Orchards neighborhood of Moya .
Some also think of a Nordic origin of the word, being then a derivation of "LAND", which would express something like "city or town on a plain."
Finally we have the Spanish word for "Land": "vegetation type consists of shrubs and small trees growing under a more or less abundant vegetation. Appears preferentially in temperate, cool, moist, (wilderness). Perhaps this last one that comes closest to the truth, supposing a derivation of the diminutive-ete: Land-ete.

Hi Chritina,

This is totally awsome! I do not know how did you get the sky so perfecty exposured but it looks fantastic.

I think if you play around in the PS with this photo you can get some wonderful prints with different effects.

Congratulation and well done.

Best Regards

Aleks

Hola Cristina,
Toma muy llamativa que se aparta de la típica foto de paisaje, tiene mucha fuerza y unos colores muy particulares. El POV es excelente y el cielo contrasta con el resto de una manera muy poderosa. Muy buena!

Saludos,
Juan

Hello Cristina,

A great sky! The image is very three-dimensional. I can almost feel the sky popping out from the frame of this photograph. And a wheat field too has great colours. A very generous movement from the foreground to the background, eyes naturally travel across the image. Nice DOF, I like a group of trees slightly offset to the right. This is the focal point of this image. The whole image is very well put together. TFS

Best wishes, Cristina
Nobu.

Hola Cristina.
Has jugado apostando por una saturacion fuerte y desde luego has conseguido una imagen con gran poder de atraccion, con los dorados campos de trigo y sobre todo con ese cielo magico donde parece que las fotos se van a salir de la foto. Buen trbajo.
Buena semana.
Saludos cordiales.
Luis.

Hi Cris,

Lovely country landscape! A fresh summer scenery with very vivid colors and wonderful mood. Well, Cris, the sky is a bit over-processed and the clouds look somewhat unnatural to me, especially on the edges. The same goes about the tree tops - they are unnaturally sharp and distinctive whereas on the whole the forest is quite blurred.
What I like here is the field - you can see every single ear in the foreground and the golden color is beautiful.
Hope you don't mind my being critical tonight, I wish you a lot of successful photos because you have a very good eye for it:))

Cheers,
Marina
