Just lovely here Silke! You managed the levels well, as rainy days often make such nasty glare from the sky! Noticing the blooming trees! How nice! Good to see you!

Hi Silke,
Wonderful capture of these beautiful old ruins seen in typical U.K. weather. Great details to these old stones that contrast nicely with the lush green foreground.

Good clean shot Silke and realy, I am SO happy that you where able to do some photo action.
Many many years ago I was passing trough on my way to Scotland and remember Leeds Castle, set on the River Len ...
The only thing missing here is a ghost

Take care and hope all goes well (leg)

Hi Silke,
You render so well the rainy atmosphere, here! I like the muted tones of trees and old stones. The composition serves nicely these ruins and makes a great interest for its history! Very well done! Annie

Hi Silke,
Dispite the poor weather a magnificent image, the colours are well saturated and these ruins are well composted. The large black frame creates a superb presentation.

Hiya Silke

Hello, Silke.

Beautiful!

The colours here are what makes this picture, in my opinion. Wonderful greens and browns that just look so natural. I can feel the dampness to.

Sharp as a pin too with wonderful detail.

I quite often think I can spot a Nikon picture - I use a Canon but I do get the impression that for scenes like this the Nikons win for natural colours. A bit like years ago when I used to shoot slide film - Kodachrome always had more vibrant colours but Agfa CT18 was the one to use for faithful greens and browns in landscapes.

And an excellent note to go with it!

Kind Regards,

John.

This is so England Silke, ruins to be found everywhere - and of course rain - but then it's about the same weather as over here, and how else would the grass be so lovely green.

Lovely rainy picture with new green and soft blossems on the tree.

Hello Silke,
The low light somehow fits the subject, as the sun is down on both ruin and landscape!
Good point of view, impressive details...
Well composed, clever to use the wall to the right as framing!

Hi Silke

Nice rendition of the ruins of Kirkstall Abbey, & good to have you back. Take as much time off from TL, as you need. Good diffused light, so the rain helped you in one way, at least. Tfs!

Hi Silke,
Very nice combination of soft and sharp makes a gloomy day appear less so, in fact it somehow seems warm. ;0)
POV and depth all right on.
Be well, good luck,

Hello Silke,

The rain can't keep your camera idle!
This is a very tranquil place. Despite the rain, the ruins do not seem gloomy.
There is a air of spring vitality with the new grass and the blossoming trees.
Lovely composition and sharp exposure.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)
