No Football Match Today Photo

Photographer’s Note

In winter the area around Castelluccio di Norcia, in the Mt. Sibillini National Park, is very often entirely covered with snow.

Picture description: a football field covered with snow, the two goals, and a snowman goal-keeper.
The blue background is one of the mountains around the "Piangrande" of Castelluccio.

Ciao Stefano,
il portiere sulla porta....da morire, penso che la partita sia stata rinviata....o no.Bellissimo contrasto del bianco con l'azzurro, ottima realiozzazione.
Buona domenica
Peppe

Hello Stefano,
maybe it is funny but I couldn't recognize anything in your photo. Just after a deep analysis I found a football pitch :)
Photo looks great, especially I like the contrast beetwen that snow covered field and those mountains in the background,

Hi Stefano

Funny! I thought first, at the view of the thumbnail, that it could be a swimming pool! Haha! You fooled me! Your POv and framing are great, with the strong contrasts, it's really striking. The blue mountain like an abyss... that's surreal and mysterious. With the lateral POV that disturbs the perspective, this is even more astounding. Well done!

Ciao Stefano
It takes some time to understand your shot. What is this blue area at the top of the shot? Ah yes, it's a moutain in the shadow.....
I clearly see the goal keeper, and maybe the ball close to the other goal!!!
Best regards
CLODO

Hi Stefano,
A simple abstract kind of shot, well balanced with the two goal posts, and the snowman is a strange yet sweet detail. I like the contrast with the blue an dteh white. Well seen.

Wanda

Hi Stefano,

Ok, now I understand. I had absolutely no idea what there is in this picture until I read your note. It's very original and funny. I like the snowman goalkeeper!
I also like the blue pattern of the mountainside.

hello Stefano,

At first look the photo is very strange and was making me think about salt lake in America. Now, with the background, I understand it is snow.
This photo works well with the sharp border between the flat field in light and the hill in shadow. The goal are nicely and strangely filling the foreground.

Yves.

Ciao Stefano,
questo meccanismo dei punti su TE penalizza molto certe foto -come questa- che sono dei veri e propri colpi di genio. Ottimo il colpo d'occhio, la realizzazione, una immagine che sembra un'allucinazione, un deserto bianco immerso in un oceano. Bellissima, davvero.
Un saluto

Ciao Stefano!!

Very good!! :0)

A very nice capture, humorous and very opportune...not easy to find and with a very good colours play!!

Some goalkeepers I´m sure they will prefer this kind of little goals!!

Have a nice day...

Hello Stefano,
A very original composition that really needs your explanation to be fully understood. A superb proof that simplicity often provides the best pictures.

Hi Stefano,

I really like this image, for its graphic quality and undefined context.

The effect of the lightly blurred and foggy mountain is stunning, and honestly, before reading your note, I wasn't able to figure out what it was.

I like the proportion between the blue and white space. The kid in the goal occupy a great proportion and location.

Cheers!

André

This is excellent, the most original composition, and what a color contrast between the white and the foggy blue...

Cheers
