One of my favorite things to read about and see, Silke. Your notes are great to tell us the history here. There is a paining like quality to this one in the landscape and rocks that is wonderful. The composition is as always perfect.

Hi Silke,

Those few (small) people scattered through the picture really show how impressive this Keep must have been during it's glory days.
A lovely composition and well chosen lower POV.

Hi Silke,
This historic place is so beautiful! Thanks for this informative note! I like your strong composition with the diagonale lines and in the same direction of the clouds movement. As you want suggestions, I would have removed slightly the yellow saturation in neutral colors. But this is my personal vision. Don't mind!
Bravo ! Annie

Hello Silke,

Excellent information regarding the castle.
What beautiful blue skies we had in May! You have capured this one well and made it into an excellent backcloth for the ruined castle.
Composition of thirds is in evidence here. Well Done.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Love the view and the colors on this Silke.
No "bad" remarks on the image. I just love old places such as this... so much history and culture... sometimes when I see this kind of ruins or any castle my fantasy starts going and I try to think of all the things that happend in a place like this.........

Cheers!

At first I had my doubts about the left part of the picture, Silke; it seems the black hole near the edge was a bit distracting, so I thought of cropping closer.
Then I noticed the clouds that somehow seem to "follow" the same angle as the slope in the wall, and that sort of makes me see the use of that bit of wall on the left...
A nice view, a little underexposed I think, but I like that. Excellently saturated colours.

Hello Silke,

A well balanced composition with the ancient ruin, couldn't see it used to be a castle unless you told..!
The fine light makes the colours come out well, they are very lively and with fine richness...
