Juan Lucas says:
The red wicker fields, in Cañamaras, Cuenca, Spain, are a very unique visual spectacle. The land is not very large (just a small region), but it gives photography lovers a wealth of colors in autumn, being a great inspiration for the imagination.
I took the photograph using the double exposure technique. One photo of the wicker fields and another photo of a sunset sky, specifically a cloud. With the double exposure, I managed to make it look like an unreal dense fog over the red fields.
