Hi Frank
Well captured.
Good control of light and colour.
I always marvel at how they were able to qchieve such great detail with the patterns in the brickwork.
Well done.
Great photo

Frank, ces barreaux du premier plan annoncent clairement que ce n'est pas une fantaisie d'opérette mais une forteresse qui est là pour faire son travail de défense. Tu as dû avoir des difficultés avec l'autofocus pour la mise au point. L'ensemble est bien éclairé et très net.

Hallo Frank!
Zuerst dachte ich Du sitzt im Gefängnis.....
Interessantes,ja graphisches Bild mit schönen Details am Mauerwerk.Weißt Du wie dick die Mauern sind?
Mir gefällt auch die Symmetrie mit dem spitzen Dreiecken aus Gras unten und Himmel oben.
