La verdad que el lugar tiene un aire muy misterioso, me imagino que de noche debe ser pero aún...

Por otro lado Rui, excelente foto, desde todo punto de vista...

Un abrazo.

Bom dia, Rui! Que boa imagem! E que boa reflexión provoca: que é mais real, a realidade ou a súa image? Tivo moi boa idea de darlle a volta pois a primeira impresión é de desconcerto, e logo de reflexión. Poderíamos incluso remontarnos a Platón...
Gosto moito da idea, mais tamén da realización. A única pega que lle poría é que a parte dereita, o reflexo das árbores, é un pouco escura, e o palacio auténtico, embaixo, ten algunha parte un pouquiño queimada. Imaxino que as luces non foron fáciles para esta toma. Pero o demáis é simplemente perfecto.
Obrigada pelo post. Abraços.

Hello, Rui,
indeed a mysterious looking place. I like the almost two toned color effect of grays and greens with a dash of blue here and there. I also like the framing that gives the center a diamond shape. If I had not read your note I wouldn't have known the image was flipped, but I found the leaves floating around the palace at the top kind of strange. :)) Nicely done!! Thanks and kind regards,
Shelly

Bona nit Rui,
realmente bello!! el reflejo del palacio sobre el lago es impresionante, parece la continuación del palacio!!
Colores muy bellos y un encuadre de fábula para dar más profundidad a la fotografía.
Sin duda, un lujo.
Salut, Jordi

Esta foto esta belissima. Sobretudo durante este periodo de Halloween :-))
Gostei do reflexo e do misterio que gira a volta deste palacio.
Bom trabalho. Um abraço.

Olá Rui,

A few days ago I submitted the last chapter of my new book,"Leonardo's Universse," to the publisher (National Geographic). In the last chapter, I wrote about a Cambridge University cardiac surgeon, Francis Wells, who had performed 250 successful mitral valve operations inspired by Leonardo's drawing of the heart. I thought of you in the process.

Well this photograph is superb! The reflection of the majestic edifice in the water gives it a special mystique. Excellent composition, perspective, colors and resolution. Have a good weekend,

Um abraço,

Bulent

Olá Rui,
This is one of the better pictures with reflections I've seen. It has a very good composition, nice colours and the leaves on the water give it something extra.
I like it that you've turned it upside down.
Kind regards, Paul

Hi Rui,
Very artistic picture with really mystic mood! It is a good idea to turn the shot upside down. Perfectly good job!
