In May 24, 2026 I stop by in Cirebon Town, West Java to take rest after traveling from Surakarta city, in Central Java. After taking night rest, in the dawn I went out from hotel to find padi field that previously I checked in Google. There are the padi field terrace nearby the Cirebon Town around one hour (39 km) from hotel. Originally, I planned to see padi terrace in Bantar Agung Village. And yet, it was just replanting padi after last month harvest. The ride hailing driver that I rent then took me to Ciboer village that nearby Bantar Agung.
This was padi field that will be harvested within a month.
I cropped photo in Photoshop, then adjust the brightness and contrast.

Beautiful image! The colors are vibrant. The details of the image are crisp and clear. The green of the field and the blue of the sky work wonderfully together. The sharp details of the grass at the front of the image followed by the curving lines right behind it that lead into the rest of the image work really well to make this an interesting scene.

Beautiful composition, Ariel. Foreground, middle-, and background draw the viewer into the image, with interesting elements in each area (the detailed foliage in front, the graceful curves of the terraced area and the structures mid ground, and mountains and sky in back. Great job on keeping all of these in sharp focus! Posted: 07/09/2026 02:47:02

I ditto Marilyn and Stan. This is captivating having vibrant colors and texture, particularly in the foreground. The clarity and detail are spectacular and the little house on the right complements the wonderful sky palette. Very Nice. Posted: 07/12/2026 14:25:32
