The first week of June this year, we had a stay in the neighbourhood of Cherbourg (Normandie, France). Cherbourg is in the top of Normandie. Here I am at the little village Goury, next to the largest cape of Europe : Cap de la Hague. A stunning region to have trips. At the horizon you see the island Aldernay.
I thought I took this photo with the 70-300 mm. Sigma lens. The colors might look a little dull (do I use the right English word for that ?), I was at a far distance of the scenery.

Wonderful landscape with a great deal to see in your well presented composition. Splendid notes, as well.


Thanks

Hi Luc,
The colours don't look dull to me, this is IMO a nicely composed shot with a good lead in along the road and lots to look at without being too busy.
Well done
Regards Andy

Hallo Luc
Nice summer shot with interesting incredients in it.
Take care with sharpening, it easy gives noise.

That wonderful curved sweep of the road takes us right into the heart of the village. Very nice Luc.

Hello Luc


I must ask did you use a tripod for this shot? as its very sharp for a full zoom with the lens you used and I think you should be very pleased with it. Dull is the correct word but the colour saturation here is very good so no this is not dull Smile


A very well composed shot with nice lean line from the road and a well presented view.
Thanks for posting
kind regards Helen

Well balanced with great colors. I like that you included the stone terraces/fences.

Dull it is not Luc, very natural. An excellent POV and I like the delicate detail in the image,

To Helen : I didn't use a tripod. When not using it, I usually lean on my car or something else.

I love the way you've composed this magnificent vista - especially the curving road that carries my eye in to let the adventure begin. I think if you use the vibrance adjustment in Photoshop that will help this capture pop a bit - but it is wonderful as it is and can stand on its own with no problems really.
