Ciao Fabio, bentornato in Italia dalla tua vacanza Celtica!
ti invidio di sicuro le pinte di Guinness e i salmoni Kerryfih!
ma anche i bei paesaggi di quella splendida isola che non ho mai avuto occasione di visitare, quindi...userò le tue belle foto.
la D50 inizia a fare effetto, con splendidi colori, ottima messa a fuoco sia in primo piano che sullo sfondo e una luce meravigliosa.
un bel contrasto sia di colori che di storia e un titolo azzeccato.

buon w.e.
ciao

Hi, Fabio. I like your original framing which provides good contrast between the modern bike and the traditional castle. The contrast in colours also works well. Good sharpness and colours.

Ciao Fabio,
L'Irlanda è meravigliosa.
La tua foto è veramente divertente con la modernità a confronto con il passato. Bel titolo
Buona la composizione e ottima qualità e colori.

Hi Fabio,
The grey of the castle stands out in relief the vivid colours of the sky and of the bike. I like the contrast between the textures : stones that look old and metal on the bike which look modern. Well seen.
Regards,
Fanny

Ciao Fabio,
Ottima composizione, bella e ricca di colore.
Ho visto anche nell'altro scatto che la splendida Irlanda ti ha accolto con un tempo stupendo.
Io sono stato meno fortunato. Ogni giorno un po' di pioggia...
Complimenti

Nice composition with very good use of DOF. We see both the bike & it's background clearly. The detail on the bike is excellent too.

Wonderful and creative framing to match your humorous title. Excellent low POV so we can admire the castle against the blue sky. Very good work

Very nice one, Fabio. The vertical format with the tilted upward perspective gives a good dynamic aspect to this photo, and plays well on contrasting the shiny details of the motorbike with the dignified old castle in the back. Beautiful vivid color palette in which the blue sky makes an ideal background for the presentation. Well captured.

Ciao Fabio!
bella la moto! Ma sopratutto bellissimi i cieli d'Irlanda. I tuo inseparabile low POV da gran effetto... io che son' vecio ormai non posso piu' farlo cosi facilmente... mi schrichiano le ginochia... Mi dispiace di non vedere il cavaliere, ma e' probabilmente andato a salvare la principessa "Kilkenny" dalla prigione nel frigoriffero ;))
ciao!
Tomi

L'abbinamento è ardito ma cromaticamente un successo, bella idea e ottima realizzazione, conoscendo il tuo amore per i "lower POV" penso che ti sia divertito bene a farla, complimenti.
Ciao e buon fine settimana, piovoso ma pur sempre fine settimana.
Vinicio

Beautifuk composition, with the colourful bike in the foreground. The details and sharpness is perfect. Good low POV and lights.

HI Fabio,

Congratulation my friend, this is very well done. The colors and the POV makes it special - the order of the elements, the sharpness and the eye-catching contrast is a plus.
Ciao,
Miklós

Hi Fabio
Excellent angle with nice framing. Strong saturated colors and I like the little tilt in the pic. A pleasant little postcard from Ireland.
Cheers

ktanska (16695) 2006-09-18 5:53

Hi Fabio,
Good idea to show the bike as knight's horse against the castle background.
A tricky composition. My choice of POV could be a one step back showing a bit more of the bike but still covering roughly the same area.

Hi Fabio
A funny but tilted shot ! However tne magnifience of the colors attract our eyes.
Cheers

Angshu

plimrn (19694) 2006-09-21 13:30

Hi Fabio,
You do have an eye for startling contrast; here the sleek bike against the ornate castle. The vertical framing and the crop are just right here and your excellent light management through a wide range show in the excellent cloud detail. The title pulls it all together perfectly.
Regards, Pat

Xalkida (11740) 2006-09-22 5:34

Ciao Fabio

Wonderful shot! The contrast between the old and new is fantastic. Excellent vivid colors, fine sky and marvelous sharpness. A diamond!

pasternak (13644) 2006-09-22 6:06

Excellent capture, Fabio, I like the contrast of colours here... and of course the idea of the picture is clever and the realisation quite successful.

Cheers
Alexander

sebcz (2345) 2006-09-25 11:23

Humorous picture. Instead of a horse, we have bikes now. But where's the princess locked in the tower?
The tower is not straight but it is OK.
Regards,
Seb
