Savonlinna Castle Photo

Photographer’s Note

I always remind myself when taking photos to look at things at an different angle and this is a very good example. The castle looked much more impressive when I took it from a low angle and upwards... and of course, the light, the sky, this still lake and just at the right place, the flowers made this picture a special one...I think at least.
What do you think?

Hi Carol,

I like the POV you chose for this shot and the flowers in the foreground.
But actually I would crop the red ones; infact the castle is too much in the middle of the frame and this makes the picture lose some interest and the perspective results to be weak.

ciao

Hi Carol...it is me again.

Basically this is good photo, but it could be even better. POV and colours are wonderful, but unfortunately composition isn't that good. If you wanted to get attention on the castle, you should have cropped the image just like Roberto said.

Best regards, Stasa
