My Kudos too Juza. This is a nice postcard of the Italian countryside. Looking at this I hear the Italian music and laughter around a patio with opened bottles of wine.

Very nice countryside, varying shades of green, like how the shadow is starting to come in from lh side.

Very nicely composed. I think a polarizer might have helped a little with saturation though. You might see if you can catch this nearer a sunrise or sunset when the shadows are longer too. It is a nice scene and makes me think I'm missing a lot by having not been to Italy yet!

I love Italy and this takes me back there. It is wonderful! I love the lighting and soft shadows.

Cheers,

Very nice, Juza. It has "feel", like your're actually there. It makes me feel warm.

Beautiful tones - wonderful handling of light and shadow.
