From the warm yellow and the vibrant green of the plants and the field, to the darkest tones of the shadows thrown by the trees, each color seems to be perfectly balanced, creating a harmonious toning that invites contemplation. Light plays a crucial role; It displays a game of shadows and lights that gives life to the scene, giving an almost ethereal character to the elements represented.
