[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This view of the Rhine Valley was taken from the Loreley‘s rock, a legendary place in Germany.
On the right side, up on the hill, can be observed the “Katzburg”, one of the beautiful castles along the Rhein in this area, looking over the little town St. Goarshausen.

About this place the legend says (Wikipedia quotation):

“Loreley, a beautiful young maiden, committed suicide because of an unfaithful lover. She jumped from the steep rock into the Rhine River, thus killing herself. She then became a siren, luring shipmen to their fates with her hypnotizing voice. The echoing heard today is said to be Loreley”.

That's a beautiful vista Sorina, very nice natural colours.

Thanks
Gil

This is a beautiful scene, Sorina!
The river creates a lovely meandering route around the shot!
Congratulations! You will have reached 2,000 points tomorow!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Neata Sorina !

Locul si POV-ul sunt tare frumoase dar, fara suparare, nu e cea mai buna poza a ta ...
In primul rand compozitia nu e cea mai fericita. Ai vrut sa prinzi prea multe in cadru; cred ca ceva mai strans ar fi fost mai bine sau mai putin cer (sau chiar deloc) si mai mult din limba de pamant de jos).
In al doilea rand focusul care nu-i cel mai grozav.
In al treilea rand ceva supraeexpunere si ceva lipsa de contrast.
Sper ca nu te superi da' daca o pun langa aia cu Matterhornu' ...

cu drag si cu sinceritate,
v
ps.O sa reviu cu un punct pentru Lorelei si pentru curba asta frumoasa a malului

Hello Sorina!
Intr-adevar, foarte pitoresc pe valea Rinului!
Poate un pic mai mult contrast ar merge, dar oricum e o imagine frumoasa.
Numai bine!
Te pup!
Lil

Hello Sorina.
Nice view point and composition with the river leading the eye down the river. Too bad about the ever persistent haze here. Would a polarizer work to punch up the sky more? Just a thought. TFs. K2
