Palace on the Water Photo

Photographer’s Note

Warszawa (Warsaw), Łazienki Królewskie (Royal Baths), Pałac na Wodzie (Palace on the Water) or Pałac na Wyspie (Palace on the Isle). Originally a bathhouse for powerful aristocrat Stanisław Herakliusz Lubomirski, built on an islet in the middle of a lake by Tylman van Gameren. It was completely remodelled by Domenico Merlini between 1764 and 1795 to fulfil Stanisław August Poniatowski's need for a private residence where he could relax. During World War II, Wehrmacht sappers bored tens of thousands of holes in the Palace in the stripped walls that they intended to fill with dynamite, but they only succeeded in setting the Palace alight and causing limited damage to the first floor After World War II, until the 1960s, the palace served as a barracks.

Swiatopelk,
Your composition and POV are excellent here. The reflection is great and gives the scene nice depth and balance. The lighting and colors are fine with excellent sharpness and detail. The off center placement of the palace works well with the structure on the right providing balance.
TFS,
Asa

Serwus Swiat!
Super strzal, idealny. Fajowskie lustro stawu, jak to lustro, odbija sie to i owo, zwlaszcza chmurki i robie sie czadersko.

Hej ho,
No miło tu, spokojnie, chmurki się rewelacyjnie odbijają w wodzie, chill out...

AKITA (5549) 2009-07-13 18:46

dear Swiatopelk,
this one is most picturesque in your previous three shot.
the palace, light sky and trees, and those reflections on the water make clear and artistic space in this whole image.
the air and swinging water are very comfortable for my eyes.
thank you,
Akihisa

Hi, Swiatopelk,

I like this photo very much (and clearly, many others agree)!

What appeals?
1. The division of the frame into threes: the water, the land and the sky, each with visual interest.
2. The gentle ripples in the water, which allow for a clear but not perfect reflection of the sky.
3. The little spot of red on the far side of the lake.

Well done!
- William
