Photographer’s Note

This photo is taken at the Varberg Fortress. There is a very interesting museum here. In the museum you can see the Bocksten Man - human remains found in a peat bog near Varberg. It has the best preserved medieval clothing found in the western world. He was found in 1936.

This man is believed to have been murdered (he had several poles through his body) between 1350 and 1370. He was between 30 and 40 years when he died.

Hello Gunar
Very good composition with the quite complementary colors. The light is very beautiful also. Beautiful realization.
Good day.
In a friendly way

Hello Gunnar,
yesterday I took a look at your gallery and I was gladly surprised because almost all the titles you give at your photos are songs that I know and I like very much, since I'm a jazz fan.
Talking about your photo it has good colors and good contrast between the dark walls and the red house. I like the point of view, very good textures, light, shadows and sharpness. Interesting note too.
Regards.
Stella

Hello Gunnar,

A striking combination of diagonals here make an interesting composition. Nice to see blue sky [a rare commodity here at the moment] against the red roof and ochre building.

But, and you probably won't agree with me on this - that central FG figure approaching the camera is so strong a part of the picture - I rather think it upsets the balance of the composition.

Interesting about the song titles!

Regards,

Peter.

Hello Gunnar,
A fine building with nice colours. You've taken the picture from a good angle and the people coming out add some life to the photo.

Hej Gunnar.
I recognized this view at once when I saw it. I almost thought it was one of my own photos! We were there last year and I've got a photo of 'Bockstensmannen' which I can put as a WS to you, but not until tomorrow.
Well balanced light and colours and a perfect sharpness. Beautiful view. The man approaching gives, by the way he walks, a clear hint of that he is walking in a sloop. Stella did a great job in the WS but I like the man being in the foreground.

Hälsningar
Per

Hej Gunnar,
Originellt med den blå färgen i både himmeln och mannens skjorta. Fin kontrast mot husfärgen. Snyggt tänk!
Hälsningar
