Ciao Stefano,
il soggetto è piacevole ma il vero cuore della foto è il contrasto tra il verde e i colori delle aiuole e il grigio quasi uniforme di tutto il resto. Sembra quasi artificiale, ma l'aria della foto è assolutamente naturale. originale.
Ciao, Elena

Ciao Stefano,
complimenti per il viaggio e poi per la foto.
Sono anni che mi dico di andare in questi posti meravigliosi... io ci starei una vita!!

Peccato per il tempo un po' cupo (o sbaglio?) ma so che è normale.

un salutone.
Cecco.

Hi Stefano,
it is an extremely sad picture. The weather is pretty bad.
I know the feeling: I live in Ireland a couple of years already: you are in a nice place sometimes and you want to photograph it but the sky is white or grey and everything becomes grey as well. This picture however gives a very good imagination about the atmosphere in Ireland: that is how the country looks like for most of the year. Thos shots with fantastic sky e.g. dramatic sky they are rare events.
The castle is very pretty and with some sunshine it would be a splendid shot. In this circumstances it is a very good documentary which is valuable as well...
