The image of the Earth from a great height opens up an amazing view, allowing you to capture a large viewing angle not peculiar to humans, which modern photographers would call “fisheye”. The unusually airy picture penetrated by a dazzling spring light conveys the purity of pristine nature and the immensity of its vastness. The canvas creates an almost real feeling of hovering in space without any flying means. The fantasticity and serenity are emphasized by bright and harmonious colours that shimmer and flicker creating a unity of the water surface, thin air and flowering spring.
