Hello Liliana


That beautiful visual!
a fairy tale!
Beautiful castle with many details
the one that I liked here is the details of the windows.
Excellent postcard!
Congratulations!

Sérgio

I don't think I have ever noticed shutters on the "windows" a castle before. Have pay more attention.
This one is beautifully captured Liliana. The flowered wall on the right leads me into the well captured texture of the main building. TFS

Hello Lili,

I have enjoyed this series and just maybe, you have kept the best until last!
The castle is placed perfectly in the frame and along with the wall, isolates the water into an interesting f/g.
The sky just adds that little bit of threat!
A very strong contrast to the lightness supplied by the flowers!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Beutiful. Love the light.

Hello Liliana
Another stunning photo a castle. The sky is very dramatic and the whole composition is very interesting with the alignment of flower pots on the stone wall. In fact, this stone wall looks a bit overexposed. I love the roof of the round tower of the entrance way. That roof looks like an ancient German helmet. The pattern of the shutters is amazing. Good use of all the elements. The other perspective are very nice too.
Nicely done
Serge

Hello Liliana,
A great composition of reflection here..very good detail with good sharpness and light..i like how you manage to this picture..Nice pp work done my friend.

Hi Lili,
Another fascinating castle, your series have an 'Old Masters' look about them, really does suit the subjects. Well done.

Buna LILI,
Tu chiar vrei sa ma omori cu asemenea peisaje? Nu-ti este mila de mine? Cred ca vrei sa concurezi cu Anelise, care ma omoara cu cele mai bune peisaje. :))

Lovely composition and details but I'm not sure about the exposure - the white details around the window seem harsh.

Hi Lili,
I have been through your gallery, you have some amazing photos and superb technical knowledge. Equally I like the above shot, but when I see perspective 1, which is even better with lots of interest and details in the foreground, the road leading to the castle and very dramatic sky ( no idea how u do it ). Well done. Best Regards, Balwant

Hola Liliana.
Bello castillo y bonito lago.
Buen enfoque y nitidez.
Otro tan buen trabajo en el treklens.
Saludos Milvio.

Servus Lili,
Alt castel minunat din regiunea ta! Foarte frumoasa compozitia si procesarea, imi place textura "fina" a imaginii si, de asemenea, culorile vii, excelente, mai ales cerul, arata super.
O zi frumoasa,

dear Liliana Mihailovici,
also I enjoy this your shot of the cloud, the water, trees, the roof, the towers and all the castle...now there pop-up the ghost from it.
I really feel something strange and different colors of your picture, uncommon saturation of the tone makes me imgine the unreal story about this castle, it is a little horrible and fantastic...but beautiful ending waits for me.
thank you,
