Manastirea Dealu Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is Manastirea Dealu (Dealu Monastery), a nuns monastery situated at 6 km from Targoviste, the capital of Dambovita county. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful Romanian monasteries. It is called so because it is on a hill ("deal", in Romanian) and was built on the 15th century, during the reign of Radu the Great ('Radu cel Mare') and was repeatedly repaired during the reigns of Matei Basarab, Constantin Brancoveanu and Bibescu Voda.
Here there is the tomb of Michael the Brave (Mihai Viteazul--1558-9 August 1601), one of the most important Romanian princes, who united for the first time the three Romanian countries under a single Romanian ruler. He is regarded as one of Romania's greatest national heroes.

Hi Andreea,

Hi Andreea,
Very nice work. I like the tree showing beyond the roofs and the figure on the path. The red chimneys in a green roof, It gives me a sense of surrealism

Morris

Buna Andreea,
Culorile suprasaturate merg bine aici. Imi place cum ai compus imaginea, bine ales unghiul. Insa prezenta maicutei m-a facut sa adaug cateva cuvinte despre foto. Pentru mine este elementul care da 'greutate' aici! Felicitari! Bine vazut :)
Toate cele bune!

ribeiroantonio (21859) 2007-01-07 17:15

This is really nice picture with a lovely sky and superb colours. The compo is good even if a bit too tight on the top of the tower. Well done.
Antonio

asajernigan (14080) 2007-01-07 20:38

Andreea,
This is a great building with great color and detail. The lighting and sharpness are very good. The monk in the foreground adds perspective to the photo.
TFS,

Hola Andreea:
Buen cielo y composición en esta foto. Presenta unos colores muy vivos y una luz muy bonita.
La presencia del hombre le otorga personalidad y sentido a la foto.
Un saludo: javi

isabela_sor (42022) 2007-01-08 5:47

Super POV ales arati si detalii arhitectonice,aleea,maicuta care merge adauga viata....iar culorile de ajuns de saturate si placut contrastante cu cerul acesta...poate doar ...cred ca e putin cam mult sharp...
Felicitari pentru fotografie si pentru nota
Toate cele bune

SONYfotoyo (318) 2007-01-08 6:17

Special great colors...
Really, but because I like to make a critic when I have the reason...
Q: A Monastery must have a cross over the roof, why did you cut it? 10 steps back and I’m sure that you'll see the cross...

teutza (10560) 2007-01-08 7:37

Buna Andreea,
ai ales o poza xcelenta pt postare!!lumina, culorile si POV_ul sunt asa cum trebuie!
felicitari

pe scurt, vor sa zica toti ca e o compozitie frumoasa :-)
Are ceva din frumusetea unei picturi naive.

narpad (945) 2007-01-09 17:59

This is truly a suberb image! I like the bold contrasting colors of the roof and the cloud pattern and the pattern in the path. The person dressed in solid black adds mystery to this image. TFS.

Buna Andreea,
Si eu cred ca e suprasaturata putin, dar n-are importanta: fotografia este excelenta! Altfel... nu stiu ce as mai putea adauga, decat TFS!
Cele bune,

rafid76 (2611) 2007-01-18 4:38

Hi again, Andreaa.

Simple but good composition. Exposure and colours are good, and I like the presence of that nunk.

Well done.

Hi!
very nice picture with a great point of view.The sky looks a bit unrealistic,but anyway a fine composition!
Tfs,Jonas

dr_elis (49) 2007-10-05 2:03

Very nice, especially with the monk in front of the building! The colors are however a bit "over the top" and unrealistic.

ekinokswest (2974) 2007-10-28 8:21

Andreea
I like the different colors of this building.the blue attic and cream, light colors and green makes a pleasant view. good scenery

marietom (31796) 2007-11-02 10:31

Bonjour Andreaa,

Un bel endroit, de belles couleurs, une bonne compo, bref, une photo réussie.
Marie

gmg (1911) 2008-03-10 16:08

Hi Andreea !
I like the colors here, a bit overcharged. And a great compositiob, with the path leading to the heart of the imagine and the man (a priest?) on it.
Very good shot
TFS

livinitout (938) 2008-03-10 17:16

Hi Andrea. I haven't seen any new posts on your site recently. I lack the time as well. I thike this shot though. Good colours and placement. The sky looks great. Nice capture

ncosmin (936) 2008-03-25 9:46

Interesant acest contrast dintre coloritul viu si foarte variat al peisajului si austeritatea vietii monahale reprezentata aici prin maicuta care merge pe carare. Aparent monotona si rutinata, viata monahului este plina de bucurii, lucru greu de inteles pentru cei ce traiesc in lume.
Pacat ca n-ai prins si crucea de pe clopotnita, probabil n-ai avut timpul necesar ca sa incadrezi.

mauro61 (15178) 2008-05-21 1:06

ciao Andreea,bellissimi colori e un cielo stupendo.mi piace molto.complimenti

jusninasirun (10150) 2008-07-03 9:36

Hello Andreea. This is such a well composed architecture against the beautiful sky. Perfect framing in the right perspective. Well done and thanks for sharing. Jusni

jafadabret (39357) 2008-09-27 5:20

Andreea, j'aime cette atmosphère sereine de ce monastère soulignée par une seule présence humaine dans l'allée qui mène à la grande porte. Les couleurs sont très belles et le ciel sublime.
Jacques

testmaniac (12060) 2008-10-10 21:03

Hi Andreea,may be more saturated photo but the composition is very good. Nice place!

jaywalker (12190) 2008-11-21 15:44

Hi Andreea, A very well crafted photo, the tower is wonderfully positioned to the left side & your POV down the path is excellent, I love the light & the brilliantly bright colours, nice detail, a great cloudy sky & the silhouette of the person walking away finishes the picture magnificently, kind regards Wilson.

foozi (4689) 2009-10-21 6:06

Hi Andreea,
excellent perspective shown. I like the effect of the sky and the roof colours.
The texture is so pretty and the emergence of the leafless tree is very exciting.

regards,
Foozi

fadingstar78 (375) 2009-11-21 11:02

Lovely colours, but maybe the picture was sharpened a bit too much for my taste.
