Kronborg Castle Photo

Photographer’s Note

my third photo on TE of Kronborg Castle, minimalist version...

strategic place as Helsingør is located on the extreme tip of Zealand at the narrowest point of the Oresund (Danish Øresund), the Sound between Denmark and Sweden
which is only four kilometers wide,
from the harbor we can easily see Helsinborg, Sweden

Kronborg acquired its current name in 1585 when it was rebuilt by King Frederick II into a magnificent renaissance castle unique in its appearance and size throughout Europe.
Kronborg is known by many also as "Elsinore," the setting for much of William Shakespeare's famous tragedy Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.

Hi Jean-Christophe!

I like that you have decided to present Kronborg this way; by showing a small part of the castle and a lonely bird next to it. Very minimalistic, very beautiful.

This is really pleasant surprise. Great composition and wonderful colours.

Best regards, Stasa

Hi Jonathan
Nice tower and good contrast with the blue sky. I like the way you have placed the tower and the bird in the composition.

Mirari

Salut JC

J'aime beaucoup ton choix audacieux de cadrage.
La flèche est sublimement mise en valeur par ce ciel bleu, et la très bonne qualité d'image laisse apprécier les détails de l'architecture.
La mouette (?) vient équilibrer l'ensemble.
Très bien fait, beau travail.

Amicalement,
Karine

Beautiful composition, with the simplicity of only the tower and the bird.
The colours are really attractive

Attractive composition with the two distinct elements positioned at the edges. Feels like you were at the same elevation as the tower. Colors, sharpness are all in order. Nice work. Hakan

Salut,
Eh bien ,J'aime beaucoup celle ci pour son cadre carré, pour la "droiture" du clocher face à la fragilité et la légèreté de l'oiseau. C'est bien vu. Superbe lumière sur le clocher itou.
A bientôt
Géraldine

Hi Jean Christophe!
I like this minimalistic composition.Without the bird it would be boring ,but with it it`s a great composition.I like the green tones of the copper.Good sharpness too and a good choice of this format.

Salut JC,
Ta composition décentrée fonctionne bien. La netteté est époustouflante. Dommage que l'oiseau est de dos.
Amitiés

JC, great timing. The colors and detail on the spire are fine but the graphicness of the open sky is very powerful. Great capture.

Hi JC,
Excellent composition, very simple, but it works really well. The gull is a great inclusion too of course. The light is lovely the way it shines on the tower of Kronborg. Superb sharpness too, thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Hi JC,
I really like this minimalist approach you have used here, and it is so well balanced with only the two elements of the bird and the tower top and basically just the two blue tones. Great sharpness and detail upon the tower, and I like the way it fits just perfectly into the frame. Great work!
Regards
Wanda

Le minimalisme de la compo provoque un super impact visuel. Avec juste 2 ingrédients : le décentrage et le vol, saisi au meilleur moment. A non, j'oubliais, le cadrage carré aussi. Super.

Hi JC,
quite unusual but visually extremely pleasant composition!
Very good use of square frame and the bird for the balance.
Something new and refreshing.
Cheers,
Robi
