I'm working on a project that involves trees, so revisiting images from the past few years. This scene is from an early morning shoot in the Tuscany region of Italy in 2023, but processed yesterday.
SUPER photo! I too agree with jane and would crop up to just below the tree trunk on the left, but I was not fortunate enough to shoot or edit this one!
@jgpittenger@ggshearron Thanks for the input - I'll definitely give it a try. Here's the Haiku to go with it for my project. Any thoughts on line 2?
Mist moves from hill to hill /
Time passes with thinning mist OR Time is marked by what departs /
Cypress trees stand, unchanged
I would also crop out some of the foreground especially as the haiku forces focus on the mist and cypress. As for the haiku, for a true haiku it should be 17 syllables in a 5/7/5 arrangement, so to get that I would suggest editing it to read:
Hill to hill mist moves (5)
Time passes with thinning mist (7)
Cypress trees unchanged (5) (although 'remain' might be better??)
Juest suggestions. The photo as it stands is beautiful!
Fav. A typical scene from this fabulous region of Italy. A magnificent capture and scene. I knew this was Tuscany immediately I saw your picture. I have visited the region several times.
What a beautiful photo. I’d enlarge and frame it just as is. I’m envious of it being in Tuscany. I’ll never get there in this lifetime but great to see a bit of it through photos like yours.
