Merci Vincent...by `Michel-Lag-Chavarria

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Landscapes

It was really like Vincent Van Gogh was breathing close behind me when I took this picture last summer, his eyes maybe looked through my lense, his brushes had just finished to color the flowers yellow, inviting them to dance with the ocean winds, his smile had gently pushed the dark clouds away to embrace the magic blue line, always fighting with the deep black shadowed horizon, his wandering soul just enlightened my own piece of world for a while... Merci Vincent...

In the background you can see Le Mont St Michel, famous and wonderful mount-citadel built on a huge rock onto the ocean, in french Brittany... Those fields are called les Prés Salés, (salt meadows) because, at high tide, they are covered by the sea, and the grass and herbs have such a gorgeous salted taste that it’s incredibly good for the sheeps and lambs which are cropping there at low tide...

Mmm... I like the photo, it's alive, with the colours, the shapes, composition. Wonderfull. I especially like the dedication to Van Gogh, and the way you felt in the moment when you were taking the shot. I think it's was a special feeling, what makes the photograph much much more special. Just love it.

I like the lines on the grass, but I think they're a bit too dark. Nice clouds, and the blue sky between the clouds and the land really adds to this picture!

Such tenderness and love for nature and the spirit of art. Creating masterpieces in honor of souls that have stepped into another dimension, yet linger in eternal faith... our perspective and passion for capturing the beauty of life has dawned us with.... all this and more ...inspired by your heart...and keen eye~!
A beautiful photograph Michel!
