Angels at Wilanow, a photo from Mazowieckie, East

Photographer's Note

Well, I promised a second photo of this beautiful looking Wilanow Palace in Warsaw Poland, so here it is.

We are now off to the side of the Palace, into one of the rose garden areas. There are a number of sculptures that you can kind of play around with in your composition, so i did just that.

Take a look in the WS for a couple more wide angle views too if you like.

I highly recommend visiting this Palace if you're traveling in Warsaw!
Have a great weekend everyone.

Craig

Hi Craig. In fact, we are neighbors today. No question, your photo is of course much more elegant and aesthetic. Our photos are real opposites. But everyone photographed what he finds in his surroundings.
I wish you a nice and relaxing weekend.
Best rgds, Wolfgang.

Hello Craig
really beautiful continuation.I like this photo,but also other two you added in WS are great(wide-angle lens paid off in both cases-the views are magnificent).At first I thought you did it in HDR-both the color saturation as well as the details reproduction are excellent.You did a great job here and were able to bring out the best out of this scene and the weather conditions.I like also the composition and the way you placed the angel in the frame.Well considered composition.
Have a nice weekend
Krzysztof

Hello Craig,
Some of us are into sculptures today, but we're all very different. How nice that is. i'm not quite sure what to say about this angel. I think the building is nicer, but they go together quite well. You have balanced the photo very nicely so the angel seems to hold a protective hand above the palace. Lots of nice plants in between and superb light and sharpness.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Craig,

This is an overall elegant scene and composition. I like the way the angel on the right is reaching out. The garden and architecture are also very nice and colorful.

BTW, there was a dedication photo for you today. Check out the photos from Boston and you will find it. :-)

Hi Craig, what an unusual view from Wilanow! The angel on your photo seems so huge, it dominates all the view. It seems to protect the palace. I know so well Wilanow but have never noticed him. very interesting and beautiful. Excellent composition, I like it very much. Fantastic sharpness, the rose garden is so nicely presented. Warm regards

Hello Craig,
A splendid composition featuring this magnificent Baroque palace. The grey cloudy sky is especially attractive and enhances the beauty of the architecture. The statue of this angel makes a fine foreground that also blends well with the rest of the scenery. Amusing detail : it looks as if this angel was using its laurel wreath like a frisbee and was preparing to throw it to the the black statue opposite ! A well framed and composed shot.
Have a nice weekend.
Jean

Hi dear Craig

Another great postcard image! The usage of widefocus lens is the best choice to fit with this marvelous situation. Outstanding sharp and clear image as usual. Peaceful and tranquilzed atmosphere is so tasteful. Many thanks for you sharing and have a good day!

Hello Craig - I really like this composition, the angel leans towards the palace and the visual connection between the two is very clever. It seems to work on an emotional, implied level as well as compositionally. I am also impressed by the soft light falling across the angel, the detailing in the wings and robes is super. A fine composition and elegant piece of work. Have a good weekend. Rosemary

Dear Craig,

The POV is just great; featuring it from the angle of the sculpture makes it much more interesting!

TFS,

Hi Craig,
Wonderful composition.. I like the angel on the right, it seemed that she was going to fly to the other figure in front of the house.. well balanced image, beautiful colour. Personally, I would like to give a slightly space on the right and make the base of the angel vertical.

Hi Craig,
A great use of light and colors. The deep depth of field is perfect. A well presented crop allows eyes to remain fixed on the statue. The great light on the palace and the flower beds in the foreground also lends a lovely contrast to the scene. Well done.
