About the Image(s)

Strolling among the thousands of acres of tea fields in Hanxi Village, ?¼©??½??½? surrounded by boundless greenery, with the faint fragrance of tea in the wind. The rolling mountains are covered by vast tea fields. The summer heat was blown away in an instant. Seen from a distance, the tea ridges along the mountain are winding and long, and the dense buds and leaves are like green carpets, slowly spreading out among the mountains, forming a shocking picture with the dark-colored distant mountains and villages. There are thousands of acres of tea fields here. Domestic and foreign artists have transformed this village, and there are fantastic installations here.

I like the contours of the tea plants and the contrast of their colour against the darker trees in the background. The vertical structures in the centre create a bit of mystery to me. They seem to be the supports for a different crop. For me, the sky does not work, it seems to have been warmed up and there is banding along the tops of the trees.   Posted: 01/02/2025 13:22:46

I like the image because it is so different with the tall structures sticking up from a traditional tea field. However, the color of the sky and clouds has a brownish cast that gives the overall image a strange feeling. Maybe it can be fixed with a simple white balance adjustment.   Posted: 01/02/2025 14:08:27

the vertical lines and the diagonal tea fields, and the tall trees beyond the fields, give an uncommon scene.
Perhaps the sky, did it get post-processed? looks unreal, somehow stand-out and kind of awkward feeling. may be just me!?   Posted: 01/03/2025 17:34:10

Thank for your comments. Yes, I did post processing. I try to balance the green field with warm color sky. Perhaps it is over-staurated.   Posted: 01/06/2025 06:51:34

The contrast of the curved lines in the field and the tall vertical sticks makes for an interesting composition. The colors of the trees and especially of the sky are distracting, however, and give the photo an odd feel. Have you tried monochrome?   Posted: 01/04/2025 17:09:16

Thank for your comment. No, I did not try monochrome. I personally like the color version.   Posted: 01/06/2025 06:50:13
