Montgolfier brothers, a photo from Rhone Alpes, South

Photographer's Note

"The Montgolfier brothers, born in Annonay, France, were inventors of the first practical balloon. Joseph-Michael, the elder, was born on August 26, 1740; Jacques-Ètienne was born on January 6, 1745. They were 2 of the 16 children of Pierre Montgolfier, whose prosperous paper factories in the small town of Vidalon, near Annonay, in southern France, helped support their balloon experiments."

Bonjour Jacques,
J'admire la netteté et les couleurs de cette image! Mais cela aurait bien d'aligner la ligne blanche du socle pour qu'elle soit bien horizontale et le cadrage est un peu trop centré. Peut être aurait il fallu cadrer un peu plus large en incluant un autre élément dans l'image. Quitte à centrer, je préfère alors un cadrage serré au maximum. J'ai un WS pour te montrer ce que je veux dire.
Amicalement, Brigitte

Bonsoir Jacques,
Excellent capture of this statue. The POV is very good, you had a fine light and the very blue background is very nice too, and makes the statue stand out very well. Good work indeed!
Hilsner,
Lars
