Green is not only green

I remember when I had my new camera Pentax K1000, I was about 13 or 14 years old, and I went taking photos in Chapultepec park. At the end I only took one photo, and I knew that it wouldn't be a good photo, it was just not to come back empty handed. I only could see green. I could not had been able to make one of this beautiful and detailed compositions like the painters Beatriz Padilla (1) and Lucien Freud(2). Their interpretation of the nature is so different but there is something very similar in the composition. You can see them both now in The Hague, Padilla at Artana gallery and Freud at the Gemeente Museum.
