Harvest Summer By Francis Wu

This is the first of the 4 reproductions which the majestic clouds formation. This one is by the world famous photographer from Hong Kong, Francis Wu. Most people would love to have shot this photo on their vacation.

The secret of this photo is the orange filter, but this photo also has a great sense of composition. Look at the dark shadow in the foreground, which is so important. Then the strong contrast of the farmer against the clouds. It is the figure that carries this photo, and the clouds itself you could dismiss, but not the figure. This is a fine example of combining landscape and genrefotografie.
