Description
A rural village in France (Burgundy). This is a reworking of a photo I posted a few years back. I had actually forgotten that I had worked on it previously until I was done with it & then it dawned on me. Looking back on the previous version, I find it embarrassingly bad & am not going to link to it (though anyone who cares to could probably find it). Of course, in a few years I may rework it again & look back at this one & find IT embarrassingly bad...
Please zoom.

Une touche très "vallée d'un coteau, qu'une rivière sillonne accentuant les flancs calcaires qu'elle y a creusés" !

This is lovely and I think it will stand the test of time (but I know what you mean).

I love the softness in this photo. I do not think your creativity is ever something to be embarassed about. Even when we grow and change and improve our earlier efforts are something to be proud of because they taught us and helped us reach a higher level.

Pretty freakin' sneaky not to give us the link, lol...But you've turned it into a 19th C. landscape, even a Dutch 17th C. landscape. It has that 'northern light', and those woody hues, and deep shadows. Whatever you did to this made it a quiet valley of introspection. The background bluffs are rendered as a foggy dream and the sky is real painting. And the foreground houses have that cubist feeling that made artists like Cezanne go absolutely nuts. This one sings, and I love it. A very painterly and quiet transformation. (Re artistic rejects, the great poet W.H. Auden wrote, in the intro to his 1944 collection of poems: "(An artist's work) falls into four classes. First, the pure rubbish which he regrets ever having conceived; second---for him the most painful---the good ideas which incompetence or impatience prevented from coming to much...; third, the pieces he has nothing against, except their lack of importance: These must inevitably form the bulk of any collection, since, were he to limit it to the fourth class alone---(ie) to those poems for which he is honestly grateful---his volume would be too depressingly slim..." THAT'S encouraging, isn't it! Well, Auden offered a lot more than that quote suggests. Anyway, whatever the older version of this photo was like, you made something mysteriously beautiful out of it.)

What a breathtakingly lovely village; I have found the same problem when I go back and look at older shots. I try not to do it because I get depressed! I think this is a beautiful incarnation, whatever you have done to it has given it a really wonderful painterly feeling!

Beautiful! I'm not going to go back and look for the other version, but if it were earlier in the day and I was just fooling around, I'd go and find it just for the challenge of the hunt. :) I like what you've done with this. It's a nice companion piece to the one with the tree growing up through the roof. (I still can't believe nobody saw that!)

Excellent lighting on the left, beautiful haze in the background and a river runs through it!
