Landscapes: Honorable Mention 2021 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Between October and December I have been in Val d'Orcia, in Tuscany, to create impressive images using the fog and the light of dawn, a typical phenomenon of this period.
Tuscan farm with row of cypress trees shrouded in autumn sunrise fogs in Val d'Orcia, Italy.
With this image I wanted to create an optical effect between the white of the fogs illuminated by the first rays of sunlight and the black of the cypresses, symbol of Tuscany.
Photo taken December 11, 2020 at Castiglione d'Orcia in the province of Siena, Italy.
