This is such a simple but beautiful shot Malgorzata. The lighting has been brilliantly managed considering the huge range you had to deal with. The detail in the pillar and arches is very good and the sunlit garden draws the eye. Lovely work! Warm regards rosemary

Hello Malgorzata,
very eye-catching, this garden in bright sunlight, peeping through the dark.
Very good that you managed to get the foreground with details and not completely black, is it a kind of HDR image?
Have a fine weekend,
Elvira

Bonjour Malgorzata,
des conditions de lumières vraiment pas faciles.
Mais suffisamment bonnes que pour bien faire jouer les rouges et les verts. Une excellente maitrise du contre jour, l'exposition soignée d'un endroit qui l'est tout autant.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

Dear Malgorzata
Very peaceul and armonius frame great balancing between shadow and light areas. fantastic bravo ihsan

abmdsudi (26215) 2012-03-16 7:37

Hi Malgorzata
Viewers are drawn up to the stunning fresh green color and your photography technique is excellent. The small garden being the significant subject is pulling the eye about the frame thru the attractive passageway so superbly in this orientation creating excellent lead-in lines and with the appropriately placed fg. The colors and lighitng are sublime with good depth and contrast. I must say there's something appealing about this photo. Great shot
Best regards

Hello Malgorzata,
Under the arc there is a beautiful pillar included in the picture, and light coming from the garden on BG, illuminated with daylight, and a bit obsecured the entrance.
But this built place, typical to Italia, in charming.
Have a nice friday,see mail sent.

There is the quality of an outdoor still life in this image, with props carefully arranged. The texture and colors on the single column are almost palpable.

Warm regards,

lakshmip1949 (19110) 2012-03-20 16:49

Hello Malgorzata,

A brilliant composition with a good play of light and shade. Very inviting place with the light falling in the open space where the pots with green plants are kept. Even the shaded area is very well captured. Like the placement of the pillar on the left giving a nice view of the open space. Superb colors, sharpness and lighting.
