Ruins....Tower and Arch Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another shot taken at the Golshan Castle. Here you can see the remains of another tower and archway. And...I'm really not sure about the frame...

An excellent composition Alexus. Furthermore the quality of the image is first class. As for the colours, they are excellent and I particularly like the backdrop of the wonderfully blue sky with white clouds. The textures in this shot are also superb. Very nice work.
Best wishes

Hi Alexey,
Very good composition. I like your POV here towards to the arch. Super. Only one remark... it iseems to me that the picture is too saturated, but in another hand this makes more attrative this old ruins. Good shot, Bravo!
With BEST Regards,
Arthur

Hello Alexus,
You've captured wonderful detail and golden color in this amazing ruin set against the deep blue, clouded ornamented sky...Pat

Hey Alexy,

Have a nice evening, Ivana

Hi Alexey,

lovely composition, though a little dark for me. Very moody shot.

Why aren't you sure of the frame? It's not bad and you have managed well how to get rid of the distracting elements on the background.
Textures are OK, only saturation in my opinion is too strong, but it may be also too much polarization.
Thank you,
Stefano

Вечер добрый, Алексей,
очень хорошая фотография, цвета потрясающие...

aspiringamateur (151) 2006-07-19 18:02

This is my absolute favorite of all your photos! The colors are wonderful, the tight composition is perfect, and the subject itself is interesting. Nice and sharp, too. It's a great addition to the meager photos of Belarus.

P.S. The frame, by the way, is good.

ruisc_pt (6213) 2006-07-23 17:34

Hi Alexey,
I think this is an excellent shot. A simple, but striking composition. The beauty lies in the colour, sharpness and definition, which in turn brings out the texture of the brickwork. Also a great sky - accentuated by your polarizing filter. Impressive! Regards,
Ryno

Hi Alexey,
this is a beautiful ruin!!! great POV and contrast!

snowfalken (1108) 2006-08-20 17:03

Excellent picture with very nice and warm colors! If it wasn't for the shadows I would have thought you took the picture in the late afternoon! Very good exposure with great details in the clouds! TFS!

Regards,
Eddie

Hi Alexey,
I don't have any words for this beauty

iGirl (1223) 2006-11-15 10:08

Nice lighting, well-composed. Judging from the glow around the ruins, I'm guessing you darkened the sky a bit? I think it might be a tiny bit too dark, although I like the saturation of the blue.

Thanks for sharing!

chiwen (18) 2006-11-15 10:59

Nice position, but I'm wondreing why the edge of the tower shines white light?

The_Ruller (0) 2006-11-16 17:48

Impressive!

Hi Alexey,
Wow! I like these warm colors. That dark blue sky adds some very interesting effect! :-)
Maybe a little bit further back would a been even nicer!

bonsoir alexey
vraiment une tres belle composition pour ces ruines merci pour le partage.

paulalex32 (4) 2007-02-21 15:25

Well, I hate to bust up such a series of happy comments, but it seems your photoshop (or whatever software you use) is showing. Along the left side of the ruin, the part that looks like a doorway, we can see a white glow around it. I am skeptical that this could be caused by anything other than software manipukation. Furthermore, the entire image of the ruins looks like it was layered improperly, to the point where it literally looks as though it were cut and pasted. Sorry, but I see far too many flaws in this photo and its post production to warrant so much affection.

Hi Alexey
Good shot, I like the contrast between ruins of castle and sky.Well balanced composition.
