What makes this image expressive?
At the foot of the hill, in a dark dawn I was exited by the explotion of the sun arrived at the top of the hill.

Is this only a record of my emotion?

Thank you for the image Giuseppe, I always love images with long shadows.
I always say that photography is all about emotion. Why would you point your camera at something that doesn’t elicit some emotional response in you. I am not certain every photographer understands this, and I see lots of images that have had the emotion removed by careless processing. This one is very clean and I believe very much represents a moment of your emotional engagement.
I do like the contrasts between cooler shadows and warmer highlights, this adds a lot of emotional depth to the scene.
I do have two areas of concern, and it is the scarred dark patches near the bottom of the frame. They exhibit a lot of contrast and that drags our eye to them repeatedly. If I roughly crop the image to remove them, you will see the feel of the scene completely changes.
I think the problem is compounded by the bottom of the frame being the brightest area.
I agree it is not a perfect solution, but the ditches are quite distracting. Thanks for posting.
