Hi Bev,

Fantastic photo of a stunning location.

I too am a huge fan of the film you mention in your note. It has to be one of my alltime favourites for its wit, humour and historical intrigue. The Plantagenet period of UK history is one of interests and I am particularly fascinated by the life and achievements of Eleanor of Aquitaine; a remarkable lady who lived a remarkable 82 years way back in the 12th century - a rare feat in itself for that period.

Anyway, back to your photo. Simply awesome! TFS.

Good Morning, Beverley!

Thanks for your kid remarks on my picture.

A great shot of the landscape with presence of historical monuments. You got the prefect blue sky. Very well sharpness, nice harmony of colors, great POV with water giving well contrast to the color of the old building. Your composition is simply amazing, thanks for sharing!

greetings from Germany,

Hi Bev,
Excellent composition, good use of the rule of thirds with the tower on the edge of the horizontal and vertical third lines. Crisp and clear colours with a superb contrast between the blue sky, lush green and bright town and castle. The river is well positioned in the view it takes my eyes to the horizon and back. A fine posting Bev!

Bonsoir Beverley
Another great POV to show one of the jewells of French Loire Castles.Nice colours and proportions.I think that in a great number of cases Rule of three comes spontaneously under the photographer eye.
Maybe you know that Jeanne d'Arc came from Domremy to Chinon to pray Charles the 7th (who she will then lead to Reims for coronation as King of France) to give her an army to "bouter les Angloys hors de France".He was very hard to convince, being first not sure of her God mission.
He would certainly have not acceptd if he had known Beverley and her FFF (full french frienship)
Have a good night Beverley

You are lucky to live in this historic area! Enjoy this!
I would join you for your lunch at this out-door cafe! :)
Bright colors and strong classical composition. I like much the beautiful gradient on the blue sky!
My compliments! Annie

I just found out that friends of mine are selling their house and moving to your corner of the world and I'm already planning to visit them there. It's so exciting to think about actually seeing some of these places that you've posted. I'm surprised at the difference in the scenery facing these separate directions. Still very pretty and intriquing. Nice pov and very lovely colors. TFS

Salut Beverley.
Si l’on voyait plus souvent dans les carrousels des devantures des kiosks de si belles photos j’enverrai surement plus souvent de cartes postales. Bravo pour cette belle composition.
Bonne journée.

Hi Beverley

Good sharpness & a superb high pov. Excellent colour contrast & saturation. The circular stone tower makes a good focal point. Tfs!

Hello Beverley,a wonderful view.
Good composition with the diagonal of the river, and the off centre tower standing imposingly over the town.
It was obviously a very bright day,and you have managed the light really well, the polarizer worked well.
[The tower looks in need of some TLC,those gaping holes certainly add interest!]
Tfs, regards Jean.
