Hello Dimitris.
Your high viewpoint offers a superb perspective over this attractive rural landscape. The winding river takes us through the frame and gives the image great depth. I like also the presence of the couple walking across the foreground gardens. Lovely natural tones and good clarity.

Guenther (10893) 2011-11-14 7:45

Hi Dimitris,

a great shot from a high POV! The view is really appealing with the meandering river, the beautiful bridge the vegetable beds in the foreground...,

Have a nice evening

Hi Dimitris,
This is indeed a very beautiful view with the meandering river and the railway bridge across. Looks nearly like a model railway... The castle ruines must be quite high up from the river and I like the inclusion of people (with something red, to catch the eye).
Kind regards
Gunnar

sacimar (25957) 2011-11-14 8:32

Δημήτρη γεια σου,
εξαίσια πανοραμική θέα από το κάστρο της περιοχής αυτής του Siegtal,με το μάτι να ακολουθεί το ρου του ποταμού και να μας οδηγεί στο παραπάνω χωριό.Μου αρέσει η παρένθεση των δύο περιπατητών που περνάνε δίπλα στα καλλιεργημένα κομμάτια γης,δίνοντας ζωή στο σκηνικό.
Ο φωτισμός και η χρωματική διαχείρηση είναι πολύ καλά.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

geoant68 (3452) 2011-11-14 10:32

Δημήρτη καλησπέρα,
εξαιρετικό το πανοραμικό τοπίο που μας παρουσιάζεις με το ποτάμι στη μέση να έχει τοποθετηθεί περίφημα.Το χωριό Siegtal είναι μια όαση περιτρυγυρισμένη από ψηλά δένδρα και θάμνους,χαμένο στην ομορφιά του τοπίου.

Πέτρος

marcan44 (6223) 2011-11-14 10:33

Ciao Dimitris,
l'altezza del castello ti ha permesso di scattare una panoramica molo ampia e profonda.
Il diaframma f/11 ha prodotto una messa fuoco perfetta su tutti i piani focali e grande profondità di campo.
Tonalità dei verdi molto naturale e ben riprodotta.
Tecnica fotografica eccellente, complimenti
Buona serata
Mario

chrislo (2179) 2011-11-14 10:35

Hello Dimitris,
The picture looks as if it had been taken from a hot-air ballon and provides a nice extended overview of the beautiful German countryside. I like the way the landscape is divided in small areas, with the river winding through its way across the meadows. The old stone wall and the little railway bridge are interesting elements that add some charm to the image. Well composed and framed.
Kind regards,
Christian

Bluejeans (64241) 2011-11-14 11:27

Ola Dimitris ,
Lindo ponto de visão alto com esta zona do rio em S , gostei muito do jardim no primeiro plano com esta muralha em ruínas , é uma bela zona rural , boas cores , parabéns!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Longroute (19390) 2011-11-14 12:03

A very peculiar landscape and composition. The image first focus on the garden and people in foreground - which being inside the castle looks so near- and then we have the sight of the more distant places which are evidently on a lower lever: strange and pleasant effect! And the two parts are clearly separated by the walls so that it seems a collage of two images. Both view are very fine and interesting illuminated by a splendid low light which enhances the clarity and the definitions of the small particulars and of the textures. Last but not least the twisting river creates a lovely diagonal a perspective.
Quite different in style than your usual production but nonetheless a very good job.

Best regards,
Donato

bema (25964) 2011-11-14 12:09

Hallo Dimitris,

beim Anblick dieser sehr schönen Aufnahme, fällt mir mal wieder auf, das man von Burgen und Schlöösern immer eine tollen Blick in die umgebende Landschaft hat, schließlich liegen diese Bauwerke ja meist etwas in erhöhten Lagen..

schönen Abend, Gruß Bernd

cargus (6556) 2011-11-14 22:12

Excellent panorama, un cadrage parfait, les couleurs joué excellent, clair et lumineux, une image de réussite, bien fait.
Cordialement

pablominto (53744) 2011-11-14 23:36

Hello Dimitris,

The river attracts attention as it is winding through the fertile landscape!
I also notice the fine details in the foreground, showing the herbs garden behind the remains of the old stone wall...
The wide view is well recorded from this elevated point of view!

Greetings,
Pablo -

ChrisJ (87654) 2011-11-15 1:31

Hello Dimitris

A superb high pov with wonderful blue skylight reflections on the meandering stream. Good sharpness & nice to know from your note that the plots are herb gardens & not graves! The old stone wall probably protects the plants from the wind. Tfs!

wolf38 (28296) 2011-11-15 2:33

Hallo Dimitris. Photographiert von einer Burg. Man kann es kaum glauben. Es sieht mehr nach einer Aufnahme von einem Heißluftballon aus. Aber der Text erklärt alles. Der Blick von oben ist phantastisch, - und die Komposition ist es auch. Insgesamt ein toller Schuss. Gruß, Wolfgang.

josepmarin (55191) 2011-11-15 3:33

Hallo Dimitris,
A visual splendid angle in this framing, without sky, in order to emphasize the natural beauty of such a green landscape.
The composition has a great graphical wealth because of the textures of the fields, the structure of the village in background, and the graphism of the bridge on the river, which flows through this nice landscape.
The high POV, the good light and the natural colors, give a great result in the quality of the photo.
Best regards,
Josep

npecanhuk (54207) 2011-11-15 6:34

Hello Dimitris!
Beautiful and pleasant-looking landscape!
Very attractive and truly interesting picture!
Sharpness, exposure, colors, contrasts and, above all, vertical format, chosen pov and composition are all excellent and certainly pleased me a lot!
TFS - congrats,

Cricri (87288) 2011-11-15 10:19

Hallo Dimitris,
ich habe schon lange auf ein neues Photo von Dir gewartet und nun überraschst Du uns mit einem Deiner selteneren Landschaftsphotos. Dein hoher POV ist ausgezeichnet und gibt dem Betrachter eine klare Vorstellung davon, welche Aufgabe der Turm hatte. Die Komposition ist hervorragend und die Menschen sind ein wichtiger Teil davon. Ich bin gespannt, ob Du hier noch weitere Aufnahmen gemacht hast!
Herzliche Grüße,
Harriet

Bonjour Dimitris,
Tu as idéalement choisi l'endroit où tu te tenais pour photographier cette vallée que l'on peut suivre sur des centaines de mètres, ce qui représente une belle profondeur d'image. Les couleurs sont d'un grand naturel.
Mes amitiés.
Daniel

vasilpro (40233) 2011-11-17 12:08

Υπέροχη η θέα με το πανέμορφο χωριό στο βάθος, την πέτρινη γέφυρα και το ποταμάκι, εξαιρετική φωτογραφία τοπίου με ωραία χρώματα από μια πολύ καλή δοαλεγμένη θέση λήψης.
Σε χαιρετώ φιλικά, Βασίλης.

maybe not the photo that I prefer from you,but this is a nice landscape in a very beautiful light,where the river and the arches of the bridge give beautiful curves.Your high POV above the 2 people is very original.Maybe I would have preferd without the village,but this is only my humble opinion.

Vasa (16008) 2011-11-21 17:24

Should be simply for realization, but you must be there. You must find the position and it is superb to have a Nikon D7000. With all your capacities, Dimitris, the result is assured. I like it and so glad to see you again, friend.

Branko

Angshu (51394) 2011-11-22 21:44

Hi Dimitris
An amazing landscape with perfectly controlled sidelighting, clarity and shadows that give the shot great depth. The perspective and composition are just great with subtle colours and contrast. An attractive image seen from high viewpoint that renders the feel of peace and tranquality with but that speck of vivid red clicks for attention. Great piece of work, Well done.
Best regards
