Hello Christian,
superb mysterious atmosphere given in well taken diagonal compositions...the monochrome suit this well, I can see a lot of stories in this picture...
Take care, Ivana

Hi christian,
a beautiful misty atmopshere spreads itself on your shot. The diagonal path leading to the house works really well and I love the sepia toning of course.
Best,
Philippe

Very classic atmosphere and timeless beauty. I like how the path leads my eyes always to the house then let me take a walk among the trees and Huegel...Rgds, Alex

Hi Christian,
Beautiful idea to treat Val d' Orcia in the fog with sepia tints.
You are a magician of the mist and you prove it one more time.
Wonderful!
Have a great WE

Beautiful composition and full of poetry mood.
It gives me envy to go out of Paris, know, immediately...
But I don't drive a car and I have a headeck. Impossible, this week-end...ha, ha.
Great work, in your "gold style".
Best regards. Grazyna.

hello Christian,
a wonderful mood above this typical tuscany landscape thanks to the mist and the B&W treatment you gave.
I also like how the path draws a diagonal to lead the old house on the hill.

Bonjour Christian
J'adore cette photo éthérée, douce, sans contraste (il n'y a pas de valeurs foncées). Cadrage aux petits oignons pour que le sentier parte du coin en bas à gauche et mène par une diagonale à une maison abandonnée protégée par un bouquet d'arbres.
Du grand art! Merci Maître!

l'Italia è piena di questi piccoli tesori abbandonati, mi piace molto il modo in cui tu hai valorizzato questo luogo con un'ottima PP ed una gestione della luce ottima. Complimenti!

Absolutely magic light and the exposure is precise, all of these productions of your are truly remarkable Christian, the tones are subtle, the construct is unique, you have cut down on the number of posts per week it seem, but when you are around it shows..
Auto release ?..not a technical kind a guy..used a remote ?

Hello Christian,
Another high quality shot that stands out in the gallery. Is it me or is the overall quality of the pictures really going downhill fast here? Anyway, it is great to discover a gem like this one. Very subtle and poetic, the misty haze seems to make the retro feeling of the monochrome even bigger. Thanks.

Hello Christian,
oh to be a peasant in Italy's past. How much better than one in modern times where the poor and dispossessed must languish in high rise hells.
An evocative atmosphere with good use of the diagonal track for composition. The black 7 past treatment works well to evoke a past time when this place was inhabited.
best regards,
Bev

Ciao Christian. Geniale il POV ad esaltare la diagonale che si inerpica. I cipressi come dita che ghermiscono luce e nebbia. di grande impatto scenografico.

i see you went back to Pienza again. this is typical of the season, with fog, mist and all that, creating a washed painting like situation.
really beautiful.

Hi Christian,
Very mysterious image. Abandoned houses always attract me and give a mysterious feeling anyway, and this is effect is greatly increased by the fog. Also a pleasant, well-balanced composition. Very nice!
Greetings, Lia

fog is a beautiful subject and you managed the tones so well, but what really catches my eye is the long and lonely road leading to the house.
