Hi everybody,

Such a long time since my last post. Well, I'm back!
And with just a re-post...
I'm re-posting this shot because:

1. I really like it and I think it deserves another version. Since the pevious one I learned a lot and I think I could improve from the earlier work.
2. This exact shot was published in a tour guide, together with 30 other images I've been making along the years. I'm sooo happy with that!

Anyway, I'm glad of being posting again and I hope to come with many many more photographs.

Take care, Stefania

Beautiful capture with excellent framing and composition. Great DOF, color and detail.

How did you get them published in a tour guide Did you know someone in the field, or just made inquiries? Would love some more info.

TFS,

Interesting POV and good sharpness, the castle being well pointed out…

Stefania, this is a lovely photo. I enjoy how the castle is framed so nicely by the stone window. Nice work!

Stefania - this is definitely a shot to be proud of. I have seen this view in my head but have never been able to capture the image as well as you have. The out-of-focus foreground works perfectly. TFS

Hello Stefania,
Welcome back with this great photo. I like how the blurred rocks are framing the scene and making us feel like if we are entering this beautiful paradise. The sharponess and colors are excellent. Very well done.
Greetings.

Oh yes, this is a big improvement Stef. We do learn new things as we go along and your PP worek here is good.
I love the natural framing and how it opens out into the sunlight like this. TFS and good to see you back

beautifully composed, maybe too much negative space in the upper part, but I love the light and the way you framed.

Hi Stefania,
Excellent 'look trough' a fine POV with the rocks as perfect frame. The main object is clearly captured. Nice crispy green colours and perfect sharpnes of the castle. I only should rotate this shot a few degrees it appears to be not fully level. Nevertheless a wonderful posting!
