Description

"Then I awake and look around me, at four grey wall surround me
and I realize that I was only dreaming.
For there's a guard and there's a sad old padre -
arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak.
Again I touch the green, green grass of home.
Yes, they'll all come to see me in the shade of that old oak tree
as they lay me neath the green, green grass of home."

Tom Jones - Green green grass of home

I've been a little lazy on posting lately and as I was skimming through my pictures, I was captivated by that green and it made me think of spring and sunny days ... although the pictures were actually taken last autumn while visiting the Botanical Garden in Cluj-Napoca, the town where I go to college :) I couldn't find a more suitable title at the moment
Hope you like it!

Nice work Ana. The centered composition of the column base works well, but I suggest that you experiment with different non centered compositions for the two statue photos. I believe they could be more effective with non-centered crops. Well done.

Nice collage! I agree with John about the positioning in the upper right and bottom photos. But in a collage form I think the centering worked well. If they were stand-alone another angle would be preferrable. Good work :)

I like it! As A-H said the cropping of the path on the right could solve the centering issue. Nicely done!

Very nice composition. It seems to have a little yellow cast on it, but still - great work.

An overall warm feeling from all three. A good collage. I agree with the centered comments and I might back off from the yellow tone a bit.

looking at this one for the 3rd time now and it still has this strange impact on me.. can't define it any further, maybe it's the colors in combination with the feel of the sculptures that make it somehow authentic, maybe not.. ;)
nice collage anyways.

hey there - not bad at all ana.

its kind of hard trying to contrast foreground elements that meld into the background and these look great :)

This is a good combination of photos. I'm generally not to fond of collages. This works well though. The overall impact is pretty strong. The colors bring a light airy feel of spring. I would love to see a little different lighting / time of day on the right and bottom ones. I know thats not always possible though :)
thanks for the warm spring feel, I have 4 feet of snow in my yard right now :)

Very nice work, it reminds me some medieval history or tale about that time... jejeje very good. 8/8

I don't believe this! I'm too late, again! First I missed Cupcake's work and now...God I feel awful :( So sorry I somehow missed this.

My fav is the sculpture with all the red flowers. But all of them look good :) I like the intensity of the colors, it really perks up all the flowers and little nice details.

Great work! PM me if there's new work in case I miss it. ;)

I really like the bottom photo, it really has beautiful and vibrant colors. The composition is also very good. funny that this is shot in the autumn, doesn't show it :) The top-left photo is really beautiful in it's symplicity. the lightning is just great. The top left photo looks a bit crowded on the top, because there is so litte space between the head of the stature and the top of the picture. I like that picture a lot better in the large version. you can see a lot more details there.

As for the composition of the three: it's a really nice collection, but I find the darkness of the top left one a bit destracting but that might just be me.
have you tried to place the top two en the bottom one the other way around?
That might couse the top right one look a bit more green above it and solve my problem with the dark corner ;)

Anyway: I really like it. Good job!

The colors look good, and this is a very nice collage.
And I love the detail of that collum in the top left picture. :)
But the only thing that looks weird is the flatness of the flowers surrounding that statue, in the bottom picture.
I think that you could tweak them a bit in photoshop, just to get them separated from each other a bit more, if you know what I mean. Maybe a slight more contrast could do the trick. :)
But still, I'll give this one +7/7 :)

thanks u guys for the constructive advice and all the comments :) .. it's hard to answer each one of u individually - i actually set my camera's personal profile to boost up colours and add a vivid yellow glow - it was a very beautiful october day and i guess i was happy to still have those wonderful flowers and that green green grass to capture :) i thought i cropped enough elements to fit my own tastes - i'm aware of the fact that it's hard to please everyone at this aspect :p and ... i dunno what else to say - i'm glad u guys liked it! :)
thanks again!

Three very well composed images. The lighting is especially good considering the overhead sun. And you did very well not to include to much sky. Excellent!!

I think everything has been said abt the composition, they are working very well together, but may not be that impactful alone.

and it seems they have a bit yellow tone over them, might be of weather conditions,

nevertheless its a good shot and presentation

I think this is your finest submission so far. It's well presented and the small adjustments made to your camera while taking the shot really add a sense of warmth to the image. Great job!

hi dreamshadow
I still wonder why you didn't post these pics separatelly, 'cos they would have been better defined in larger views. My favourite one is the top right one (the woman with a sword, how weird -> only men are fighters ;) ). Thanks for this post, really impress me ! +7/8
