This was obviously a 'Community Picnic'! Everybody knew about it and came by car from miles! You could bring your own or buy from the stalls - snails, beef rounds with pate in the middle, pate's, bread, salad, ice creams (with prunes in the name!)
The view was marvellouisse from the tables that were set for people to sit on. But maybe a bit too HDR.... I think!
Three good things:
1. I found out that if you reduce the size of the photo on 365, it gets posted much more quickly!
2. A 2000 bottle of Bordeaux cost Euro 5!
3. The countryside of Rural France has so many photo opportunities, I held everyone up!
Oh I just love this maggiemae....the whole concept of it & your photo which has this lovely glow to it! All those people you managed to fit in the one photo.....like little miniature figures! The blues show up like iridescent jewels....The tree branches overlooking the whole scene .....just beautiful...I would fave it twice if I could!!
This is great. I reminds me of a picnic area in a medieval French town we went to a couple of years ago. The atmosphere is light and very community spirited.
What a fun scene -- a French "Sunday in the Park with George" image. The HDR does give it a bit of surrealist look to it, and a little glow, but that can work in images that are not going for realism.
I love the HDR in this and suspect it is the reason that we can see so much detail in the tiny figures. I love the pops of colour but found my eyes positively drawn to the gentleman who was wearing black shoes and socks with his shorts.
The HDR seems to have given the background a rather funky color- but it sort of makes you look twice. This reminds me of a French impressionist painting (only with the modern HDR twist).
You make me laugh as we all love to take photos and it takes time. I love this photo and the HDR actually brings life to the people in this photo. I hope you had a wonderful time. FAV
Looks like a pretty posh picnic to me but again a wonderful way to celebrate summer. I quite like the Hard edged look as it gives detail to the distance and increases the interest level of the image.
