Hello Aleksander,
une ville que je connais fort bien, j'y vais au moins une fois chaque année, mais j'mais je n'y suis resté en soirée et admiré le chateau avec ses lumières. Merci donc de nous l'offrir au travers d'une photo très bien négociée, parfaite sur le plan technique.
Couleurs et lumières séduisantes.
Excellent fin de week-end à toi.
Daniel.

Hallo Alexander!
I've been there at day but this atmosphere is much more impressive! I think, in your picture the eyes are not distracted by other things and so the castle becomes more important that means you can perceive more details.
Greetings from Germany!

Hi Alexander,

A blue hour very bright. It's amazing how you has controlled the light and the perspective. The strong contrast between the castle light and the sky so dark blue is terrific. I like really the emotion this shot is able to communicate. Thanks.

Angel.

Very well balanced picture, Alexandre. Composition and POV looks to be ideal. The fact that the sky is still a little bit blue enhances the overall impression.
Have a nice weekend, Peter

Bonjour Aleksander
j'aime beaucoup les photos de nuit surtout lorsqu'elle possède une bonne gestion de la lumière. Celle-ci est vraiment belle. Beaucoup de relief et une belle qualité de la photo.

Beautifully done. The blue hour is in reality the best time of the night for this type of photos. I like to see the sky with a bit of colour. Very well composed from a good POV. Well done.

Hi Alexander
This is an excellent night shot and technically, flawless. The deep blue colour of the sky is superb and nicely contrasted with the warm light and tones of the building. I think the pov is great too as it exaggerates the whole look of the castle. Well done.

I wish there was a comparison feature like with WSs when you re-post. As far as I can judge this is clearer and sharper showing your successful PP.
The sky is just right, just before it was too dark and the exposure is good with plenty of detail revealed in the castle. Excellent low POV and good use of an alternative "tripod".

Хотелось бы чуть более замка снизу. НО, насколько я помню, там дома сплошняком идут. И, в мае там поставили кран - приходится в фотошопе его вытирать - благо, можно словить точку, когда он на фоне замка, а не неба :)

Hi Alexander,
Superb definition and great colours!
This point of view is the best there is for castles, and in most cases you have no real choice... But it works!
Nice low light exposure, well done all over!

Privet Alexander,
I've seen this castle a number of times already, and this will be on my to-do list when I return to Luxembourg to open my LU folder, here the bottom up view at the blue hour works very nice to deliver rich contrats outlining the structures.
Have a nice day,

Hi Alexander
The castle is beautifully lit and constrasts well against the deep blue sky. Well done on the exposure. I like the play of shadows and silhouettes.

Oooh a random find, and what a gem, I love the indigo and gold colour combination, I don't remember the first versuion, the crop and proportions here are excellent.
