Hoi Hans,
"That's all" zegt ie dan..... Daar heb je nogal wat werk aan gedaan.
Maarrrr... het resultaat mag gezien worden!
Prachtige doorkijk door deze poort.
Wat ik zo knap vind is dat je de schaduwpartijen op de voorgrond (in de poort) zo goed hebt weten op te helderen.
Puik werk hoor!
Groet Adri

Hi Hans
This is a really lovely photo. I think it is very clever how you have changed it to take out the bits so it shows just the castle. I have yet to learn all this PP work!!!
A superb picture with a lovely frame surrounding it.

What makes this one REALLY special is that it is a unique PoV in a photo of this famous place. Everyone walks through that gate, but usually there are so many other bodies in the way that there is no clear view. Hans -- your timing was perfect -- the crow is a bonus that NOBODY could have anticipated! This is a fabulous image

Hi Hans, I like views through arches and this is a very fine one. The clarity of both the foreground stonework and the ruined castle in the distance are both clear, and not so easily achieved. TFS. Murray.

Hi Hans,
I was having a brief visit in your gallery and found this one to be strongly attractive. The details clarity throughout the image, on the highlight and shadow, are very appealing.

As for the composition, I love the 'look through' idea and having that bird in the frame is surely an added bonus. Love this shot very much.

Regards,
Ramdan.

Wow Hans,

This is a great shot. I like how you have a tunnel looking towards the castle. I like the multiple gates too.

Very impressive post processing. Glad you got rid of all of the "junk". Are you sure the tourists weren't from the Netherlands? LOL Lisa
