This is a wonderful and dramatic shot.I love the sharpness throught and the balance between both ellements of the picture. The statue is wonderfully baroque and dramatic. I would like to know who he was.A bishop with a naked sward!

Kapitalna foto-ilustracja. Ponure niebo i grożnie wyglądająca figura + zamek w tle. Dramatyczny obraz.

Wouaw!!!! L'éclairage est excellent. Et très bonne idée le B&W pour ce décours splendide qui s'y prête à merveille.
Toutes mes féliciations...

Good choice of B&W, it accentuates the severity of this beautiful scene.
Very well done

excellent b&w work..
the difference beetween b&w film (here Tmax 100) and color tranformed into b&w, is obvious...well done.
it's a good compo.

A superb sharp and very clear picture of a strong statue, every detail can be seen, a dramatic sky and the background with this building, nice composed and the B/W-tones are really nice, not too heavy, not too bright, just perfect, great shot, Danile !

Daniel,
The sculpture is full of wrath and the B/W adds to this wrath. I like the composition with the castle. I wish I knew the story behind this figure. Well done!

Hi Daniel,
Good shot! The clouds makes it even more impressive. It's strange, they follow the same curves as the silhouette, mimicking it! B&W is perfect here. I like it!

Great shot! Good composition and POV. Excellent choice for the B&W tones and good job managing them.

Hi Daniel, this is a very well seen photo. The statue and the church form the classical L-shape composition and the tones are very well controlled with real blacks and whites. The sky (which looks subject to some PP) is also a strong element. Superb. Stephen
