[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this picture during a stroll in the picturesque village of Dürnstein. Dürnstein is a small village located on the bank of the Danube river in the Wachau, one of Austria's most famous wine growing regions. The name of the village stems from the German words "dürr" (dry) and "stein" (stone).

Until today Dürnstein has successfully managed to keep its historic character. Surrounded by large terraced vineyards (a small part of those vineyards can be seen in the photo) and overlooking the Danube river, the village is said to be one of the most romantic and charming places in the Wachau region.

Ugh! The oversaturated blues of the sky really detract from what is otherwise a great composition. This could and should have come out a lot better!

Hola Natasha
muy linda vista. The palce seems very calm (except fo the train:)) You've got nice colours and great contrast with the deep blue sky. However the sharpness is a little bit lost when it comes to the tower.
But overall I like the shot
nice job
cheers

Καλημέρα Νατάσσα
Όμορφη σύνθεση, με πανέμορφα χρώματα.
Η προοπτική είναι πολύ καλή, έτσι όπως χάνονται οι γραμμές του τρένου.
Η φωτογραφία σου μου δίνει μια ήρεμη διάθεση.
Πολύ ωραίο το φως.
Συγχαίρω και χαιρετώ

Hi Natasha!
Excellent photo with amazing colors!
I like this composition and also that old and rusty railway.
Well done!

See you around.

Natasha,
Your composition is great using the tracks to lead the eye through the photo. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and DOF. The deep blue sky creates and nice backdrop for the shot. The only thing that is missing is a train!

Asa

Γεια σου Νατάσα, πανέμορφη εικόνα με πολύ όμορφα χρώματα και την καμπύλη που δημιουργούν οι γραμμές του τρένου να οδηγεί το βλέμμα στο βάθος. Σε χαιρετώ,
Κώστας.

Hallo Natasha,

bin erst jetzt auf deine Fotoreihe über die Schönheiten deines Bundeslandes gestoßen; klasse Aufnahmen, hier speziell gefallen mir die Farben und der Bildaufbau sehr gut (vielleicht einen Tick weniger Blau, aber das ist nur meine persönliche Meinung); werde in wenigen Tagen auch ein paar Bilder zum Thema Railroad Tracks hochladen, vielleicht gefallen Sie ja...

Schönes Wochenende und liebe Grüße
Bernd
