Another castle in the Eifel region and in my small series.

Burg Eltz is a medieval castle nestled in the hills above the Moselle River between
Koblenz and Trier, Germany.

I took this picture on 12th May 2008. As I had hoped, I returned to Eltz Castle in the spring when everithing was green.
Here you will see my picture taken in February.

In my WS you will see two different perspective:
one and two.

It looks like a castle from a fairytale! Beautiful castle with beautiful colours in a great greeny environment! Only the green colours of the trees doesn't look natural.....

Janneke

Hi Liliana,
This is a great looking castle and you have captured it well against the background of trees, I like the use of the causeway to lead the eye into the shot.
Well done
Regards Andy

Hello Lili.
Must say the Castle on all tree pictures is fantastic, but the light and oversharpness of the trees are too much done.
Did you use 'highlights' on it ? Or the sunlight was too sharp.
The picture you took in Februari (other pov and no trees)is great. But sure a fantastic Castle to take pictures of.

Best regards from Jan

Great beautiful pic

Hi Lili,
What a castle ! Incredible place and architecture . I also like your other angle in the workshop . I would like to see that in person . You made a good composition but as Janone I think it is a bit over sharp .

THERE WERE NO AMAZING PICTURE WITHOUT AN AMAZING ARTIST LIKE YOU LILI.

Have a great day, great artist.
Dennis

Hello Lili,

I like your pov, using the path and steps as a lead in. Good details of the towers set romantically in this leafy setting.

Perhaps a little crop from the left would make it a little less centralised.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Very beautiful place
remind me like "drakula castle" in Brashov Romania

Well captured Liliana. The castle virtually jumps out of the green forest - the polarizer adds richness to the colors.

Superba arhitectura si culori, un castel din basmele fratilor Grimm ! Interesanta prelucrare, culorile ies in evidenta intr-un mod special si fotografia are un aer usor pictural.

Hi Liliana,
The castle atop a hill looks like that from a fairy tale. A wonderful artistic presentation. You probably took this around noon as the green on the b/g appears slightly washed. Nonetheless a topnotch posting. Greetings! Danilo

Hi Lili,

You did great capturing and composing this castle . .
Lovely position on the center . . and the lighting is perfectly shows only the tips of the trees . .
Well done my dear friend

dear Liliana Mihailovici,
this is like a fine illustration in the picture book, of course a wonderful tale in it. when I view it, I lose my feeling of time, but little sightseeing people on the bridge make me be aware of in this time. (it may be nice to delete them...)
in your this shot and previous shot, the forest surrounding the castle is very impressive too to me.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi Lili,

This castle was as impressive in February as it is beautiful in May.
What a nice one, have to remember this - want to see it for myself!
This really is how I think a castle must look in a fairy tale.

Hi Lili,

Looks like Disneyland patterned their castle from here. The surrounding forest really makes the scene magical. Good inclusion of people to give scale of dimension. Well captured and composed with good resulting image and color clarity. Well done! tfs

Hi Lili, A beautiful image well composed and presented. It looks a little surreal. It is a kind of magic to look at and the designers and builders of this fine structure were very clever to create it. TFS. Murray.
PS a good series of high interest.

Minunata imagine a castelului inconjurat de verdeata! (la fel si cea din februarie) Un pic poate, imaginea are prea mult sharpness, insa tot frumoasa ramane!

Bonjour Liliana.
Un château semble sortir tous droit d’un dessin animé de Wald-Disney.
Le point de la prise de vue est parfait sur ce fond de forêt.
Bonne journée.

Hi Lili,

Magnificent shot of Burg Elz. I love these old castles and have fond memories of the ones I saw on the Rhine during a trip with my parents. That was long ago though.

POV and DOF are excellent!

Warm regards,
Werner
