Kiss at the Circular Castle Photo

Photographer’s Note

And they thought they were alone...

-----------------------------------

A place rich in attractive shapes and nice shadows and light, the Castle of Bellver is unusual in two senses: first, it is circular (I've included the shadow so as to have a better sense of this circular design); second, it looks more decorative than defensive.

It was built in the early 14th century by the short-lived Kingdom of Mallorca.

This is the central courtyard.

Hello Daniel.
I think you have a very nice graphical effect here, interrupted only by the delightful image of the couple kissing. You have caught the light and shadow beautifully on the building, and placed the couple in a pleasing part of the picture. Great idea to include all the circular shadow at the bottom. A very good composition/crop and a good candid capture.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Daniel,
Well caught decisive moment shot. Exposure is a bit darkish, but is creates special ambience. To me this gives an idea how the woman would be just in the imaginination of that guy, materialising from shadows, but still keeping black colour...

Hi Daniel,
All those curves make this composition a success and the inclusion of the lovers is a big plus of course...
Compliments,
Best regards,
Cath.

Hi Daniel
The compo. is very good & placement of the couple perfect in the frame. created with the circular arrangement of arches (which offers excellent graphism as well) and the circular shadow on the ground. Good work!
Best Regards

Hi Daniel,

Really beautiful this shot, twice circular (the building and the shadow: very good eye, great idea). The couple is very beautiful here, the timing is perfect. It's a very good architectural shot, it suggest the equilibre and perfection of this palace! Excellent!

Greetings,
Angel.
