Serwus Marta !
Może trochę za dużo tego kwiecia w kadrze, pomysł jednak ciekawy. Kontrast irlandzkiej aury, szarości gotyckich murów z feerią natury wypada dobrze. Poza tym - czysta, dobrze naświetlona fotografia.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie,
Mat

Hi Marta
This is a spectacular castle and I like how you included the pretty flowers to give the photo some colour. It would have been nice to see the whole fountain aand to have a bit more contrast.

Good morning Marta -

A very nice travel image with perfect exposure and DOF. In my opinion, I like the color upfront in the image but I feel it is a be too dominate and takes up more room than necessary. I think I would have backed up a step or two to shrink the flowers. Otherwise, a pleasing image, well done.

Postvikram's WS interpretation is well conceived and deserves some consideration.

Thanks for sharing

I really like this, beautiful flowers, I like the fountain rising out of the flowers and the castle and grounds as part of the backdrop. Castles aren't that unique the fresh you you show us in your composition is unique.

I like the inclusion of the Hortensia here Marta it adds a real nice contrast to the grey and doll background castle. Good use and balance of fore- and background

witaj,
imponujący zamek,
całość kompozycji ciekawa, ale wydaje mi się że tych kwiatów jest ciut za dużo, niemniej kwiaty są bardzo ładne,
badzo ładna kolorystyka i kontrast,
pozdrawiam
Igor
