Hello,

Très belle vue plongeante, avec la superbe roue à eu, les maisons en collombage en fons, la végétation, un superbe ensemble.

Bravoe t maitié

Nicou

Terrific photo opportunity - totally timeless. This is like looking into the past. One or two anachromisms perhaps, but they are few.

Not sure why you chose f/22, even f/11 would have been adequte for this scene and it would've given you a faster shutter and less camera-shake in the image.

Even so, a delightful scene.
