Nice post production work too. Accurate but not exagerate.

Hello Dimitris,
A great capture of these castle ruins. The close framing works very well. I like the saturated colours and detail that you have brought out in the old bricks. HDR?

Interessante Erfassung dieser Burg, die zu sein scheint weitgehend zerstört, aber immer noch, ist er zur Einführung.
Ausgezeichnete Details und Farben.

hi Dimitris

This must be practical history class to learn about the castle in person and there is no better way to arouse interest in pupils. It is amazing to see the walls as high as this castle and still remain intact. Really built for strong defence in ancient times. Good work.

tfs, bill

belido (19934) 2009-03-23 6:04

Hi Dimitris,

Bonjour Dimitris,
Fantastiques ces contrastes dans les lumières et dans les couleurs, je suppose que tu utilisé la technique HDR.
Une photo très nette et un POV qui montre bien l'aspect imposant de ces murailles.
Amicalement.

pablominto (53746) 2009-03-23 9:44

Hello Dimitris,

Interesting details in this so obviously old structure!
The brickwork, the decay, the greenery - all very good recorded...
I like the framing and the colour palette is very well reproduced!

Greetings,
Pablo -

buscape (6219) 2009-03-23 10:09

Hallo Dimitris,
toller POV für diese eindrucksvolle Schlossruine. Die beiden Besuchergruppen passen sehr gut in das Bild und vermitteln ein gutes Gefühl für die enorme Grösse von dem Schloss. Schöne Kontraste und Farben. Auch die Schärfe ist sehr gut, sodass man viele kleine Details noch sehr gut erkennen kann. Gatulation zu dieser beeindruckenden Präsentation.
Viele Grüsse aus dem Donautal,
Helmut

tober (8797) 2009-03-23 12:30

Hi Dimitris, I haven't heard about this castle till reading your note and seeing this amazing capture. Visitors seem so small but the structure seems enormous. Well done ! Tolga

Das HD Schloss ist immer wieder ein Foto wert. Besonders Abends ist es schön beleuchtet und wenn man dann auf der anderen Seite des Flusses am Neckar steht, kann man träumen.
Sehr schöne Aufnahme mit einer interessanten Perspektive.
Viele Grüße,

stego (24132) 2009-03-24 9:47

Hi Dimitris,
Impressive ruins, very well presented. You did a very good use of the shapes, textures, colours and the amazing light to produce an outstanding photo. The groups of people are interesting for adding more graphics and colour, but also for the human presence.
Regards, José.

npecanhuk (79329) 2009-03-24 11:47

Hi Dimitris!
First of all I really like the title of this picture...yes, it fits so perfect to the image!
Then, it has superb photo qualities: excellent sharpness, perfect exposure, nice and natural saturated colors, well chosen pov, simple but effective composition! The ruins of this "schloss" are very attractive and the presence of those people there has given us a very good sense of scale - they're gigantic!
TFS - Congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

adores (46979) 2009-03-24 17:18

Hi Dimitris!
I've passed near this castle many times when I was a child but I never visited it. I like the composition showing the ruins, especially with those groups around. They reallly show the dimension of the place. Colours and sharpness are very good also.

Anyway what I like the most is the people there. A nice way to show us the size!

Well done!

PixelTerror (0) 2009-03-25 13:25

Hi Dimitris,
Played with HDR on that one right ? It makes it look more decayed than it actually is, we get a good sensation of height from the people.
Have a nice day JY

Bonjour, cher ami Dimitris,
Dire que c'est beau serait banal ! il émane de cette composition une sensation étrange de ce château où les ruines et les constructions se conjuguent avec bonheur.
Image onirique très réussie.

Dein Standort ist gut gewählt und mir gefällt die kompo mit soviel alter Architektur und dem bißchen Himmel.Die 2 Tourigruppen sind feine details und Farben und kontrast sind toll.

Impressive is the scale of the castle where the students, appearing so tiny giving a good idea of scale. The contrast of the brick colour of the castle with the sky is attractive. Goood work!

Γεια σου Δημήτρη και χρόνια πολλά για τις περασμένες γιορτές. Η φωτό σου είναι έτοιμη για ταινία τρόμου. Δυνατά κορεσμένα χρώματα και ατμόσφαιρα μυστηρίου. Τεχνικά θα έλεγα κι εγώ ότι μοιάζει για HDR, αλλά τι σημασία έχει? Εξάλλου με τις τεχνικές που δίνει το photoshop μπορείς να κάνεις σχεδόν ότι και τα προγράμματα τύπου Photomatix. Το αποτέλεσμα μετράει για εμένα και είναι εντυπωσιακό.
Χαιρετώ
Χρήστος
