Hello Gunnar,
A nice composition of this windswept tree, which is nicely balanced by the walls of the fortress. Very good light and colours and good sharpness.

Hallo Gunnar!
Here in Germany we have a proverb: "Der Klügere gibt nach", that means, the wiser one backs down, or gives in ...
At this I must think when I saw your inventive picture. By the way, a wonderul scenery with these old walls - but these damned cars... ;-)
Greetings from rainy Germany!

Hello Gunnar,
An interesting combination of triangular shapes and contrasting colours.
I agree that it's often impossible to take pictures without cars in shot, and as a result, frustrating for the photographer.
As to figures in the picture, I think they often help the composition; but the nearest one here blocks the line and shape of the distant archway, and distracts by looking straight at the camera. I might be tempted to "zap" him with some PP! [I hope he's not a friend or relation of yours!]
I wonder whether a shot taken a little to the left would have improved the composition, by including a bit more of the red building.
Regards,
Peter.

Hello Gunnar,
Nice composition with the parallel diagonal lines of the tree and the red building. Fine colours.
Regards,
Gert

Hej Gunnar.
Again a nice photo from the fortress of Varberg. Good point of view and composition. I though, IMO, think the photo is a bit overexposed, the clouds look really nice when decreasing brightness and increasing contrast just a little bit (-5 and +5). And I agree with Frank about the cars and maybe this photo would habe been better without the people (but that's not easy to get). Nice colours and beautiful buildings.

Hej Gunnar!
Wow!! I love it!
An extremely hostile tree, like a tsunami wave threatening the unaware people looking the other way. Nice diagonals.

Hej Gunnar,
En bra observation! Bra foto för övrigt också men bilarna stör lite. Kanske hade det gått att ta bort dem med Photoshop?
Hälsningar
Mikael
