Another wall Photo

Photographer’s Note

Seen in the hamlet of Cumond in the commune of Cumond-Saint-Antoine. The buildings that you can see are in the grounds of the château. The château is in private hands and cannot be visited or seen to any great extent.

Cumond-Saint-Antoine is a commune in the Dordogne départment in South-West France. It encompasses the former pre-Revolutionery parishes of Cumont and Mirand, part of that of Saint-Privat and part of the commanderie of Saint-Antoine. Formerly know simply as Cumond, the commune received its present name of Cumond-Saint-Antoine in 1924.

The current population is around 360. Apart from the usual church, it also boasts an 18th century château and a manor house dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. Both are listed historic monuments.

Bonjour Stephen
Un bon cliché de cette architecture si particulière à ta région. Un bon angle qui nous permet d'apprécier ces toits couverts de tuiles.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Bonjour Stephen,
Le mur cache certainement une belle architecture, que l'on aperçoit seulement. La prochaine fois, apporte un escabeau pour faire une vue complète :) J'apprécie les couleurs naturelles. Bravo.
Bonne journée
Cordialement
Joël

Hi Stephen,
With a surname of Wall, I feel a certain affinity to this strong, dependable, solid looking structure :))
A nice shot, plenty to look at, a frame packed with interesting visuals.
Good POV and excellent composition. I love the sky, it looks like an afternoon thunderstorm could be building.
Good work.
Regards
Peter

Hi Stephen

Good sharpness & horizontal layering, with superb warm cold colour contrasts between the red & blue. Tfs!

A very attractive image with pleasant and appealing pastel colours; very soothing to look at. It was a good idea to include the right side wall as it gives added depth to the scene.

Hello Stephen. The overall view of the structural facility becomes ever clearer. Regarding the photos is like a kind virtual walk. Also the today's photo is very beautiful. Regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Stephen,
Good composition with the tower well placed. The red roofs here look very fine against grey stone and blue sky!

Hi Stephen,
A superb architectural photo again. You've played here wonderful with the light between the sky and dark tones on the trees. The clear view through the lovely arch gives this image excellent depth. Well done!
Best regards,

Hi Stephen,
Un mur c'est simple à priori et pourtant quand c'est bien shooté ça devient magnifique. C'est le cas ici. La tour ronde et les toits roses donnent une note de chaleur à ce mur, réhaussé encore par le ciel bleu.

Salut Stephen,
J'aime la douce lumière de l'image et couleurs naturelles.
Excellent détails et de la bonne composition de cette partie de la ville.
Amitiés,

Hi Stephen.
I only just finished a critique for one of Peter WALL's shots and then looked in your gallery and found this one!
It's a pleasing shot of some delightful old textures, and there's not one bit of modern consumer society in sight. The composition is well structured and the sky is a beauty. The corner of the wall makes a pleasing line with the round tower. Great note, too.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Stephen,

You chose a very well angle, also the tower care for a good composition, real colours too.
I like the panorama view.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Stephen,
This is very similar to the walled chateaus we saw in the Burgundy region. Your composition and POV are nice using the corner of the wall as a focal point. The walls add a nice sense of direction to the scene. The lighting and colors are fine with nice sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa
