Hi Silke,
Glorious lighting of perhaps late afternoon on this fairytale house with such a magnificent architecture.
A lovely composition adorned with natural colors using an adequate technique of fill-in flash to soften the harsh shadows. Good PP work to render equal exposure all over.
Well done for such a neat presentation.
My regards,

Francis Xavier

Hello Silke
The scenery is beautiful with that colombage house. Warm sundown light and rich ocre color. That's Alsace architecture. I love the well in the garden, This is a good situation for HDR process. Personnally, i would have cropped the part of a wall to the right.
I love Alsace. Hope you go to Riquewihr one day.

Regards from Québec

I love how you kept the FG well lit Silke! The way you processed this makes it LOOK like CG! A pixar movie set! Complete with Princess and a Dragon waiting in the wings! The only thing I would have done differently, had I been smart enough to come up with the idea, is to clone out the fence at the bottom left hand side of the shot. That's it! LOVE IT!

It's a joy to visit this part of the world,due to all the fantastic old buildings, with their architectural charm,waiting for us tourists to capture with our camera's.But we don't all get the chance to capture them bathed in this warm light.Good capture Silke,nice mood to this scene,good to learn that a fill flash helped with the shadows. Myself, I would have either, included more of the foreground fence, or omitted it all together,just a personal preference.TFS
Best Regards
Ron

Bonjour Silke
A very nice country of which you show well the typical architecture and mood.There is a famous Christmas Market in Strasbourg, there is also one on the Champs Elysées each year now.I join a WS of a wood shop which will maybe remind you things of that beloved country.
