the old knight's place, a photo from Baden-Wurttemberg, West

Photographer's Note

HEIDELBERG in Baden-Würtenberg is a grand old university town in the south of Germany. It lies on the banks of the Neckar river, with the historical centre spread out underneath the town grand old castle.

Hotel Zum Ritter is a grand old hotel in the lively center of Heidelberg. A rather fancy place, sadly a bit too expensive for our travelling budget this summer. Now I somehow regret not having stayed there, though. You only live once.

Hello Benny, a good idea to focus on just one part of the facade of the hotel. The turquoise window frames really stand out against the red/brown of the stonework.
The carved stone is a lovely feature of the building.
A very good sharp shot.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hello Benny,
It would be nice to stay in this hotel, and 101 euro for two persons, with the free breakfast and cancellation, it is not so bad for the four stars. But I like staying in cheap hostels. Wonderful facade.

Hi Benny,
wow this is a very elaborate facade. Fantastic details and colors. Very good idea to close up on this. This is a part of Germany which I have never visited.
I like the combination of the red and green, very creative and rare.
Excellent reportage,
M

Hello Benny,
I think you pushed up the saturation and contrasts quite a lot, but it makes the photo very eye-catching and enhances the beauty of the details of the façade. Like most others I like the tight crop.
Regards,
Gert

Dag Benny,
We hebben Heidelberg wel genoemd als mogelijke etappe plaats deze zomer omdat het niet echt goed in het schema paste. Maar een overnachting in hotel Ritter was natuurlijk wel een leuke maar dure afsluiting geweest.
De gevel is in elk geval veelbelovend.
Groet Rob

Hallo Benny,

Uw foto met deze gevel is pure kust.
Proficiat aan de architect maar ook zeker aan jou als fotograaf.
Zoveel details dat ik wel een uur nodig heb om alles netjes the bekijken
Schitterend foto werk, bedankt.

Groeten uit Oost-Vlaanderen,
John.

Hello Benny,
Une façade richement décorée, c'est le moins que l'on puisse dire!

Hi Benny,

A nice sharp photo showing some wonderful details on this old building. I really like the turquoise colours in the windows - an unusual choice of colour but one that works for me.

Hi Benny
A smart crop allowing us to fully focus on the essentials; the artistically crafted stonework with sumptuous detail and range of eye catching colours. Pleasing on the eyes subject of interest not surprising a great image as displayed. Excellent
Best regards
