In sepia :
Salzburg Fortress (Hohensalzburg) which towers over Mozart's city. As well as being the icon of Salzburg, it is the largest fortress of its kind in Europe to have survived intact in its entirety.
Hohensalzburg was built by Archbishop Gebhard in 1077. Archbishop Leonhard von Keutschach (1495-1519) presided over an extensive expansion of the fortress.

In full colors :
Stephan Balkenhol’s sculpture “Sphaera” has been unveiled in Kapitelplatz on 26.07.2007
The sculpture is about nine meters in height, including the pedestal. It represents a male figure standing in a relaxed pose on a golden sphere. Black trousers, white shirt, neutral attitude and expression – this man might be a nodding acquaintance, or he might be everyman.


thanks a lot dear Helen,

Hi vlad

A superb upward pov, with good sharpness & attractive, minimalist colour. I like the subtle gold vs blue contrast in the sphere. Tfs!

Hello Vlad! Amazing scene. Good POV. Wonderful background. Very original picture. WEll done!

How cool is that, Vlad! What a mix of styles and ideas. Interesting POV and fine golden sepia tone of the ball. The castle does look inviting. The sculpture man chose a good viewpoint. - Cordelia :))

Hiya Vlad

I knew you would pull something differnet out of the bag lol

Excellent shot here with good sharpness and detail and interesting notes. The sepia tones work very well and as ever your PP work is excellent

TFS and for joining in the theme

kind regards Helen

hi vlad

Very interesting to shoot from this angle, it gives more impressive scale of the golden ball.

Great work.

TFS, bill

Hi Vlad, this is very original. I like the image, the comp and the pov. Nicely done in partial sepia.
Very sharp! Well done!
Cheers :)

Hi Vlad, splendid PP work with full color and sepia composition, original and beautiful, very well done, ciao Silvio

And here I was thinking that you climed that 9 meter high sculture....
Hi Vlad, this sure is very eye-catching - the sculpture I mean and then with a totally different feel to it the fortress in the BG.
Wonderful combination.

Hi Vlad,

Very good POV, nicely composed and the figure on top of the Ball gives us some perception of scale. Nice sepia toning, very good DOF and sharpness.
TFS,
Vassilis

ciao Poz.. good contribution for the friday theme.. i dont understand if it's a pp work or not.. sfera looks pasted!! in any case the scene is great.. with this man that looks at infinite!! good pov!! well done
ciao Marco

Hi Vlad,
Love this pov ,the sphere gives an impetus to the whole scene ,it grabs your attention in a most obvious way as it is very large taking up quite some space here but fair enough as to not block the fine view of the majestic fortress.The statue at the top of the ball adds scale reference in your frame. Now i could not imagine the ball without it! Sepia all the way here,just perfect ! Unveiled in 2007 right ,i now understand why it wasn't there when i visited some years ago!
TFS Vlad,
Carol

Great shot Vlad

The angle from which the photo was taken is perfect, the background is terrific, the center point of the image is the man atop of the big golden ball.

Thanks for sharing this beauty ;)
