very interesting as a project. I would expect maybe a caption to understand it better, it is not easily read.

Thank you for originality.

Hello Mark.

Ps: maybe you do not like, have you tried a 16:9 or cmq an overview?

Thanks Mark! I think it's the first time I see you in my galleries: welcome!
This is a shot that I care in a special way because I want to put it in a series that I did on the land of Tuscany.
Maybe one of these days I will propose in the discussion "the photo by the author commented" explaining my choices of expression.
A warm greeting.
Franco

PS In general I do not like the panoramic formats. I see it as a picture a bit 'claustrophobic and very compatible with different cuts. However, I will take note of your suggestion and I will try other versions.

Beautiful image, grim, determined, both as a color and as a formal setting, as tending to the abstract, but it is not.
Beautiful interpretation on the land of Tuscany.

I looked at all the pictures and you're right it is not a project immediately, those that speak talking about beautiful sunsets etc ...
My opinion (from the bottom of my personal taste) is that the work deserves and find it interesting, I really like the BN where there is always something to see and black parts like bush, row of trees, lone tree.
This shot instead tells me otherwise, I see little out of line with other photos and maybe being pumped color contrast I find it a bit 'too much.
I do not know, but I do not like so much, however I really like the project and I appreciate the others in BN you reported.
Take my statement as an opinion and not as a criticism

Reply to thread.
From Tuscan appreciate all the series you have done, not only for the beauty of the shots, but also because you left the classic routine Vitaleta-farm pretty sight etc etc ... (Something I try to avoid too), I had also promised to do a job on the "work" in my country, how difficult it is to pull off that grain that too 'I photographer ...
Returning to the theme I think you've managed in full in your post with your very elegant style, shadows, sensual curves are like those of a woman ...
I hope I was not too "honey", I really appreciate your work.

Andrea

In response to the thread. I really appreciate your intent to represent, through this project, Tuscany landscapes through non-traditional, but with an interpretation from the point of view of aesthetics, which relies on strong contrasts, and that, in some cases, nearly two-dimensional graphics to tract. This image in particular I'm not crazy, just like the first impact, but also at the second reading, I find it less than the other three, the sinuous forms convince me, but I can not find the same strength, given by the contrasts, especially "Earth" and "Earth 2", in which the earth emerges with his overbearing texture in the foreground and the clear spaces of the sky highlight the silhouette of the trees here, I find this lack in those small details, which, although minimal, complete the picture. As for the post-production, a choice that I like, because you have been able to dare, portndo extreme contrasts and making whole areas become the real backgrounds, I would try as far as possible, to unify, as you have already done this type of treatment for all future images. I will cover still images, I think it is always good to do so.

In response to the thread,

Therefore, before commenting, I went to see the other pictures in the series and I liked it, I like the project where it is apparent the play of forms that alternate between light and shadow, and but indelibly characterize the Tuscan setting.

But this, precisely this, in my opinion has no connotation, the two trees drowned in the dark and the road are not enough to contextualize it in general cmq it seems too dark.

I'm sorry but this picture (I repeat this and only this) I do not like.

Hope you do not offend.
;-)

Thank you all guys for the time that you have dedicated. Your comments are an example of calmness, honesty and the desire to understand and to understand. Paco, how can you think that I offended? I myself have called this picture "not easy" and understand the many concerns that some have raised. It is thanks to you that I will find a way to reflect again on my choices, effectiveness expressive of my story.
I posted this photo explaining that is part of a project that would include a dozen images. It is a topic that is close to my heart. I think it's very hard to criticize a single picture, especially when it comes from the canons regular and you do not know the end, the thought that inspired it. Mine is not intended to be a defense of this photo, far from it. It is an invitation (also directed at myself) to get used to, commenting on, to collect elementi useful to a greater understanding of the style, the intentions of the photographer, look at his galleries. Probably many of you would never dwelled on this image if they had not read the presentation, the reasons that inspired it. You have been "forced" to think, to reason beyond the simple and instinctive "I like or do not like." This is the way to begin to acquire critical skill. It is also a way to be truly useful to the authors. Finally, it is the goal that I set.
Greetings to all and thanks again.
Franco

As required in # 2267555] discussion comment:
I, like Meghisti, if I had not read your premise would not have known what to do. I saw the photo posted since this morning, I took time to reflect. I then revised several times. I read your other post on the design, and the call to ' yet I reflected on this image. My feeling is that this should not only be presented, but it is a piece of a mosaic: your project to Tuscany. An overview, comprehensive in its entirety and not in detail. So am I, it may seem ironic to the point of this morning but with a conseness: wait until the project is completed to understand it and appreciate it. I can not find the inspiration for what not even a comment, either for personal limit, but mostly because the work is not done. And I hope I explained that it was not offensive, it is not my intention. A greeting.
discussione commento:
Anche io, come Meghisti, se non avessi letto la tua premessa non avrei saputo che fare. Ho visto la foto postata da stamane, ho preso tempo per riflettere . L'ho poi rivista più volte. Ho letto l'altro tuo post sulla progettualità, e il richiamo all' articolo, e ancora ho riflettuto su questa immagine. La mia sensazione è che questa immagine non solo deve essere presentata, ma rappresenta un tassello di un mosaico: il tuo progetto per la Toscana. Una visione di insieme, esaustiva nella sua interezza e non nei particolari. Quindi mi trovo, può sembrare ironico, al punto di stamane ma con una consapevolezza: aspettare che il progetto sia completo per capirlo e apprezzarlo. Non riesco a trovare per ciò neanche lo spunto di un commento, vuoi per limite personale, ma soprattutto perchè l'opera non è compiuta. Spero di essermi spiegato e di non essere stato offensivo, non è mia intenzione. Un saluto.

Comment on the author's request: www.juzaphoto.com/topic2.php?l=it&t=583305&show=last # 2263554

I waited for the calm and silence of the night to comment on this shot; =)
I state that the whole series and I like so much. At the appearance of the original and not at all obvious, this kind of shots, which at first glance might belong to the series "famolo strange," she instead appears as the final step of your own personal design research that goes beyond the mere search the beautiful, Taken postcard colors to "wow!", but which strives to provide an interpretation of key intimate, a "your" vision of Tuscany.

The image that you propose is certainly difficult to comment on, these clear dark so marked and decided, the shadows closed and nodetail, contrast, strong and firm and dark shades leave at first baffled and it would seem that there are no elements to which the eye can anchor. Three elements combine to reinforce the scene, however: the silhouettes of the two just mentioned trees, a symbol of strength and hope, the white road that enters and exits the scene, a symbol of human frailty and last but not least, the light, dominated by the shadow in this shot, almost stealthily enters to want to testify that in the end what keeps us alive is the hope.

I would not have been too celebratory, but I think the shots of Franco of great encouragement and inspiration.

Normally I do not have difficulty reading your images, I admit this is no exception.
The first impact is negative, the image appears blurred, the eye does not find a place to start reading. Then, pausing, shapes typical of the Tuscan countryside: rolling hills, plowed land, small groups of trees and dirt roads begin to emerge and the message, in the end, I spent more effectively than in the shots "traditional" though written in so that it is more usual in painting and photography.
The effectiveness of communication is also revealed by a particular, all have felt the very high contrast that you wanted to describe, in fact the contrast is not so high & egrave;: if it is true that blacks are absolute truths in the light tones are very low, used to search for images with tonal range extended my eye on them has been perceived as an error even if it is not in this interpretation.
At the end of the judgment is positive although I prefer your other shots.
A greeting.

This is damn hard!
I do not know how to behave ... :-D
Is not that why I like you as a photographer, I want to save at all costs all your work.
Have you not send me anything (obvious reasoning, I do not express it more ... :-|).

In fact, if I view alone, I would not have given weight.
But in context with the other three images, it becomes a picture "New".
In the sense that a Tuscany "Lunar" so I have not ever seen, I'll give him (the image).

www.juzaphoto.com/galleria.php?t=584401&l=it

I do not leave any doubt. The reading is easy, instant and leaves no room for doubt:
works great, intense, perfectly balanced in composition and contrasts.
It's no trouble to think about it. The emotion is instantaneous, as well as aesthetic beauty.

Here I am with a lot of comments and Landerjack Meghisti, is clear.
I do not understand where the image alone I appears to have shortcomings, if the composition almost perfectly symmetrical and centered in the essence of the bleak and barren landscape (why not?! May be), the lack of a defined element that attracts my eye , etc ...
We'll see how it amalgamer &And

7C! I find it significant that your comment has been thought and written in a moment of absolute calm, when your mind is clear from the many thoughts of everyday life. In fact it is the right approach to intimate images, to be discovered quietly. Leggendoti I seem to have hit the target!
Thanks for the nice words.
A warm greeting.

@ Catherine Bruzzone
Take two issues on which I agree: the language is almost painterly and I asked several questions about it. I talked about high contrast, but it was more appropriate to call it sharpening.
I could raise the tone of light, give more texture to the colors, the picture probably would have found more support, but the result would not have been what I wanted. It is the twilight atmosphere, the moment before the dark, that interested me.
A warm greeting.
Franco

@ Prof Chaos
Your comment has further confirmation that this photo comes different and conflicting reactions (imagining it, I also posted for this).
The attempt I'm doing is addressed directly to acquire the abilityA critical reading of the images. A comparison of author-commentator where no one stands in the chair. I think the simple habit of "I like it / I do not like" can not take away. Likewise, I believe that silence criticism of relativism with "no accounting for taste" is often a complaint to reflection, dialogue. When the author is able to explain their choices opens his photos to a more reasoned criticism. Who says it is brought to reason to linger.
Contemporary photography, like it or not (I do) hardly runs out, for those who observe it, at first glance, at the first sensation. In photography, but in art in general, is asking a lot to the public.
A warm greeting.
Franco

For this saying seems to error, but it is not, the atmosphere is the first thing I read after the initial loss, and at least for me it was the key to reading the rest of the image, a contrast really high in this case would have been devastating.
The contemporary photography, like it or not (I do) hardly runs out, for those who observe it, at first glance, at the first sensation. In photography, but in art in general, is asking a lot to the public.

It depends onthe context for photography as an art (certainly the most noble) is true, but today the vast majority of the demand from the market refers to a photograph "fast food" that must communicate its message immediately and forcefully why it is that appears on a magazine that on an advertising poster or simply on a page fb will in most cases dedicated quick look, therefore not only is predominant in the production but it also becomes the most prevalent source of inspiration ;-)
This makes it even more important to your contribution here, in a forum of photography can not be ignored or relegated to a corner of the most expressive!

I covered the images, and in particular this.

It is the twilight atmosphere, the moment before the dark, I was interested.


This is what I can not grasp, the moment before dark to me is not this, too many shadows plugged, in the moment before the dark light some small detail can still read it, though barely visible, this is a penumbra deep. I think that you had set itself a target really difficult to achieve, because that your perception of reality is so personal and intimate that fails to arrive in its entirety. I do not know if I could explain. I agree with Catherine, nowadays what and where is art photography? And what we mean by these terms? NotI think it must be forcibly difficult to read and interpret, works of great masters there's also the less experienced and prepared, even if he does not understand the way down, but they have a communicative power that goes beyond. I went a little 'free-wheeling, but I love, forgive me "reasoners", but over time I learned to follow my feelings often leads me to the one to which I would arrive thinking, well I start to squirm out of myself, the better I'm still here, and I recommend, let me note any macro-bullshit.

@ Landerjack
Dear Luke, I would like to make it clear that I'm not defending to the hilt this photo thinking to myself that the negative reviews are just a product of little critical thinking skills or little knowledge of art photography (not even pretend to define art this photo) . I am indeed convinced that the instinctive reaction is very important and is the most genuine. The photograph is a mystery, we can discuss, or may not find meanings, emotions, but then cross the threshold of what is impossible to explain what is unlikely.
It's all useless? You simply instinct? I do not think because the critical skills and the acquisition of a photographic culture allow us to get closer to solving the mystery. And believe me that is one of the most beautiful things for anyone involved in qualsiasthe level of art.
Hello.
Franco

PS Never before has the photography is accepted as an art form. And almost always his understanding is not so immediate. Go and see the photo's highest-paid in the history of photography (almost four and a half million dollars) and ask yourself how many "likes" would have collected in the forum.

I did not say that you're defending a sword is your picture, at least I do not think and I do not think I understood. Nor do I think that we should just go in feeling or instinct, but it seems obvious.
The highest-paid photos I had seen long ago, who said that this is art, the critics, the price at which it was sold? what do you see? do you think is art? Or is it just a huge print of a landscape at Fountain botched? It is enough that you do not communicate anything to the mass to be art? For me not. I understood that I would not want to be controversial, sometimes the written word is always easily misunderstood, because that is not mediated by the tone, which instead is in the spoken, but unfortunately, it's the tone that makes the music.

@ Catherine Bruzzone
Dear Catherine, do not talk about yourself, your photo or mine, but if the world wants the photograph said that fast food is not what we need to do. I believe it is for professionals and amateurs alike. You will tell me that it is difficult, you have to get by and I understand it, but will agree that it is still a choice that is up to us. Legitimate choice, mind you, regardless of the direction taken. Clearly then must be supported and proven ability. In the creative field (and the photograph is) I find depressing, and even a little honest with ourselves, we adapt to what is the most popular, as in equal measure, I judge all consider ourselves unrealistic Van Gogh We need to find an "our" measure. And whatever it is must first be sincere towards others, but above all to ourselves. You have to try to fly high, evenif nature has endowed us with clipped wings that do not rise more than 10 cm. In our pictures we must aim to pull off ourselves and only we are able to say if we succeeded.
I try to be more concrete and drop me into the reality of the forum: Do not you think that even here there are many people who are tired of the fiery sunset, the Three Peaks etc? I write every day. Do not you think you could open up opportunities? You are driving one of the authors.
Finally, I thank you for your consideration, but I do not feel up to what you say. I'm trying, I promise, but the rest, without false modesty or snobbery, a photographer on Sunday.

A warm greeting.
Franco

Wow just went OT. I apologize to everyone.
