Spring at the Manor Photo

Photographer’s Note

Waddesdon Manor was built (1874-1889) by Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild to display his outstanding collection of art treasures and to entertain the fashionable world. Fascinated by the history and culture of France, he commissioned a French architect, Gabriel Hippolyte Destailleur, to build him a Renaissance-style chateau, based on those in the Loire Valley.
Equally impressive are the grounds and gardens.
This garden is magnificent and the Manor provides an equally impressive backdrop.

Hello Peter,

a nice composition of the flowers and the building. But, in my opinion (I could be wrong), the picture seems to be brightened a little to much ?

regards,

Luc.

hello peter,
Not that common to have french castle style in united kingdoms I guess!. I think it also get a french garden style but with nederlands flowers. Is that what we call europe? (joke ...).
here I like the contrast creataed by flowers in forground compare to the castle shape and colour.
Best regards
