Hello John,

It's nice to see you on this site, too!
I think this angled view gives an even better view of the castle than your other shot. The reflections are just superb.
Again, the focus is sharp which captures the fine details of texture and shape perfectly.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello John,
looking at this photo I suddenly realized that I like it that the reflection of the castle in the water is not "full" and is cropped at the bottom. Thus, it makes the photo much better, even though the mirror reflection in the water is superb!
Anyway the scene looks a bit gloomy - but maybe because of the weather. But whatever kind of weather it is, undeniably, this is a beautiful view - and a photo certainly WITH a mood :)
Warm regards
and wishes of a nice Sunday!

Bonjour John ,
Très belle utilisation de la faible lumière . Le reflet du château est de toute beauté . Dommage qu'il en manque un morceau .

Hello John,
It is a pity the bottom of the reflection is cropped as it distorts the symmetry of the image. Nevertheless, a well conceived composition with an excellent point of view. Lovely soft light and colours; something for which we share a preference I think. The detail in the architecture is beautifully captured.

John,
This is a great shot with an excellent reflection. The reflection adds depth to the scene, I only wish you could have captured the full reflection of the castle. The lighting and colors are great in the muted light conditions.
TFS,
Asa

Bonjour John
Un moment bien saisi ou la lumière fait resortir les reflets magnifiquement du château, en entier cela aurais été nikel, mais cela n'était peut être pas possible...
Belle journée

Bonjour John,
Le château est posé sur un véritable miroir. Aucun poisson ne fait des ronds dans l'eau comme c'est souvent le cas. La netteté est très bonne. La lumière est elle aussi superbes, sous ce ciel un peu crispé. Félicitations.
Bonne journée.
Amicalement

Bonjour John,
Un très joli château et une lumière douce agréable.
J'aurais peut être pris un peu de recul pour avoir les reflets complets.
Excellente journée,
denise

Bonjour John.
Ce château a beaucoup d'allure. J'aime son architecture sobre mais élégante. Dommage que les reflets ne soient pas complets.
Amicalement

Dear John,
very beautiful photo, the reflection is not quite complete, but that's not really disturbing, finally, are you the photographer and if you want the photo display, make many beautiful pictures.
all the best and regards
Freddy
