Bonjour Philippe

A superb blue sky, with excellent sharpness. I like the repetition of the chateaus grey turrets. Bon travail!

A pleasant and comprehensive photo of the chateau, Philippe. Good details and beautiful colors in the October sun, and the wide view gives a good idea of the huge expansion of this old place. Somehow I like that you did not go for the obvious panoramic crop, but that you kept a fair amount of the bright blue sky.

Bonjour Philippe,
Après les églises, tu nous montres de superbes chateaux! Superbe point de vue mais une vue plus en hauteur aurait été encore meilleure!
Un cadrage centré qui fonctionne bien ici.

Bonjour Philippe,
Belle propriete et une photo lumineuse, surtout sur la tour de gauche, peut etre encore juste couper un peu de ciel pour un format plus panoramique ?
Le 27.10 j'etais dans le vignes, et les conditions ca ressemblait assez a ca, quel automne !
Bon dimanche,
jean-Yves

Have a nice sunday.

Bonjour Philippe
Toujours un ciel parfaitement exposé.
Le soleil bas de fin d'automne donne une luminosité douce.
En été il aurait fallu être plus matinal pour photographier ce site.

Salut Philippe,
Belle image de ce beau château.
Simplement, j'aurais préféré avoir moins de ciel, qui est d'un beau bleu, mais un peu monotone.
Bien vu tout de même !
Christophe

maphoto (8076) 2005-12-18 11:01

Beaucoup de petits pignons bien dissimulés derrière les arbres et près du Château et par une magnifique journée. Merci de nous présenter cette page d'histoire, bonne netteté et contraste, bien vu.

Bonsoir Philippe,
Great picture of this little castle, that is framed very nicely by the two big towers. You had a fine light too. Well done and thanks for sharing!
Hilsner,
Lars

weswang (18223) 2005-12-18 13:03

Hi Philippe, A well taken picture. I like the layout of this picture. However, I think the sky takes a little too much empty space. A good near symmetric view picture. A very well taken picture with nice contrast and sharpness.

gilou530 (34657) 2005-12-18 14:35

salut philippe
je crois que tu nous présentes la ta garconniere, je doit reconnaitre que tu as bon gout...
un super chateau bien entretenu et bien mis en valeur par des couleurs hautement lumineuses et un cadrage symétrique parfait.
gilbert

bpelvan (3786) 2005-12-18 15:26

Hi Philippe,
One of the most perfect and sharp images of yours. Good capture of this beautiful architecture. Good composition from perspective and DoF viewpoint.
Well done.
Regards
Bulent

singuanti (15240) 2005-12-18 21:15

Hi Philippe. I like how you included so much sky into the frame to change things up but I might have been inclined to crop it out. It's nice to see a little of green in the middle of winter. tfs Philippe!

Excellent sharpness with a great blue sky. When the picture was loading slowly, it was like a blue curtain is coming down! does this have a dense forest behind?

bantonbuju (48334) 2005-12-19 2:58

bonjour philippe,
it looks like the quest for the historical architecture will never end in france, and that is good; the views like this one - sunny, beautiful place - are very good particularly for this time of the year;
a very lovely place,
a very nice mood;
have a nice week, jerzy

Perfect shot to present this fine place Philippe. Top weather and great details in the presentation. Beautiful place presented with a fine balance of details.

Salut Philippe

Excellent composition with a great glorious blue sky. The lighting is very nice and the colors vivid. Nice work.

Bonjour, cher Philippe,
un peu caché dans la forêt, le château me semble d' appartenir aux contes des fées.
Peut-être un peu du ciel de trop, qu'est ce que tu penses?
Bonne journée
Knut

danyy (67882) 2005-12-21 2:21

Bonjour Philippe,
une photo aux lumières éclatantes et en tous cas bien dosées.
Un cadrage et un POV qui nous font profiter aussi d'un ciel bien bleu et du chemin qui mène au chateau.
Compliments.
Daniel.

riclopes (32823) 2005-12-24 7:10

Bonjour Philippe,
I think I missed this one!
A perfect pleasant composition from this distance, with the sight of the gate and the lateral towers of the wall on the sides. I love those conic roofs over the cilindric towers and you captured them in such a nice lighting, enhancing the smoothness of the surface and volumes. I like the amount of sky above the composition (may be a little too much, but I like it). Congratulations!
Merci,
Bonne fettes et joyeux Noel,
Amitiés,
Ricardo

Bonjour dear Philippe
A stately chateau with thick & robust turrets, seen through the fence. Good symmetry created by the turrets on either side. The cap of the clear blue sky is a nice plus. Well done!
Best Regards
Angshu
