Hello Wolfgang,

An original framing to make us share the beauty of this de luxe hotel. I like much the colors and the light of the photograph. The trio of bowls players seems well concentrated… I will have perhaps shifted a little bit framing towards the right to have the shade of the third man whole, but it is a detail. I appreciate the qualities of the image, thank you Wolfgang.

With all my friendships and a very good WE,

Jean-Charles

Hi Wolf,
really a beautiful capture of the building as well as the three people there. The colour contrast is lovely and the graphic of lines is pleasant.
The softly renndered sky is very exciting here.
Nice presentation.

regards,
Foozi

You've captured the scene at just the right moment with the ball being in mid-air. I like the combination of beautiful architecture and everyday life. I think there may be a slight tilt to the right though which perhaps could have been corrected.

Bonjour Wolfgang
L'habit rouge de cet homme bien cadré apporte une bonne touche de couleur à cette image dont l'arrière plan est magnifique.
Bonne soirée
Amicalement

Hi Wolfgang,
this is a nice composition from a great POV. The main subject are the men playing, but the palace in the background is the real attraction of the picture. Very good job.
Regards.
Gabriele.

Hi Wolfgang,
A very fine combination of this old building with modern life. The architecture of this background is very good, but the people in the fore ground add the necessary vitality to make this a photo above average!
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hello Wolfgang,
It is not just in southern France... in Deutchland they play also on balls.
Great background which could be a photo, just him alone!

Good day

Brigitte

Hello Wolfgang,
I didn't know they played boules in Germany, I always thought it was a particular game of the French. You certainly couldn't have better backdrop for playing. A well composed daily life image with a pleasing balance to it and very good colours and sharpness.
