Hi Dimitris
The blue lights give a surreal atmosphere to this scene and a great contrast with the pink of the sly. Excellent exposure and sharpness. Reflection is the icing on the cake!

Hello Dimitris!

Excellent photograph - I wonder how you achieved the high dynamic range - is it an HDR? Either way, I think this is a masterpiece.

Well done,
biswaroop

Δημήτρη καλησπέρα,
εντπωσιακός οι φωτισμοί του κάστρου με τις αντανακλάσεις του στη λίμνη να δημιουργούν ένα συμπληρωματικό οπτικό εφφέ.Η ώρα λήψης με τον πολύχρωμο ουρανό κάνει την φωτογραφία ακόμα πιό δημιουργική.

Δημήρη γεια σου,
ο 'καλλιτέχνης' που δημιούργησε αυτές τις φωτιστικές συνθήκες στο κάστρο Dyck,είναι μέγας.Η λήψη όμως και απόδοση των χρωμάτων από το φωτισμό είναι δική σου υπόθεση και μπορώ να πω πολύ δημιουργική.Οι αντανακλάσεις και οι χρωματική πανδαισία του ουρανού συμπληρώνουν το όλο σκηνικό.

Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,Δάνος

patdeph (35750) 2011-09-10 1:32

hello Dimitris
what I like the most is the blue light on the walls,giving a splendid harmony of the castle,the reflection and the sky,when this is the blue hour.The pink clouds bring a soft contrast,and the sensation of quietness is great.

josepmarin (59385) 2011-09-10 4:09

Hallo Dimitris,
an excellent capture at the blue hour, in which you offer us the elegance of the architecture of the castle, and at the same time a beautiful game of lights of colors on the building, which they create a spectacular atmosphere. The reflections of the ensemble on the pond are an aesthetic very important complement in your composition.
In the WS we can see other tonalities that also are very nice.
You have done a good work of management of the exposure, reaching a great result, in a beautiful image with a great sharpness.
Best regards,
Josep

Γεια σου Δημήτρη,
Ουάου!!!! Εξαιρετική η σύνθεσή σου με υπέροχους χρωματικούς τόνους, η διαχείριση του φωτισμού καταπληκτική και οι αντανακλάσεις να δίνουν μια θαυμάσια ατμόσφαιρα, το κάστρο επιβλητικό κυριαρχεί στο σκηνικό με τον εντυπωσιακό μπλε φωτισμό.
Να περάσεις ένα όμορφο Σαββατόβραδο, Βασίλης.

abmdsudi (95869) 2011-09-10 9:40

Hi Dimitris
Very creative long exposure night photography, I like your ideas in using the water and reflections to hold the focus which is also superbly exposed. This adds further interest as a whole at the same leads the eyes to the imposing castle. Good balance image to the blue sky and pinkisg tinge. Awesome colors, clarity and general contrast and above all pin sharp bearing in mind the 3sec time delays! Great work and splendid results. Congrats
Best regards

axiotea (21651) 2011-09-10 11:31

Hello Dimitris
I really like the atmosphere provided by the natural lights together with the light show.
The castle by itself is already beautiful, but even more with the colour show on it!
3s were perfect to immortalize as well the reflection and the coloured sky.
Have a good WE
Marilyn

Kalimera dear Dimitris

What a spooky place, made spookier by your skilful photography. The reflections, light and colours are exquisite. They create a very intense mood and the stillness of the water in the foreground, contributes to that mood. Excellent PP also. COngratulations.

Have a good Sunday

What a magnificent picture. Congratulation. I like the architecture, the burning sky, the blue effects on the castle and the stunning reflections on the lake. That create a ghostly and unreal atmosphere, absolutly beautiful but also a bit anxious.

An almost spooky mood is achieved with this lighting at this time of day!
The reflection from the pond is a definite asset to the composition, and the pinkish evening clouds add to the atmosphere...
A well balanced composition with a great sense of depth!

Hi Dimitris

What a beautiful light! That must be a great sound and light show, I guess. The sunset mood and the reflection in the water are very romantic. Excellent POV, DOF due to pool and sunset, fine sharpness and vibrant colour hues, in short a good photo job.

warm regards
Urs

PaulVDV (62802) 2011-09-18 14:09

Very nice POV and great sense of perspective.
Those magic hour colors and with the blue lights to dominate the image. look great, and you show us Castle Dyck like a very beautiful place.

Cumprimentos,
Filipe

Longroute (19600) 2011-09-28 7:11

This light show gave you very good opportunities for fantastic shots! Also this one is a marvel! The peculiar colours tones gives a odd nearly "witchery" atmosphere!
And the POV you choose was maybe the best for including the reflection. So intense and evocative like most of your works.
Well done,
Donato

ChrisJ (171220) 2011-09-30 2:06

Hello Dimitris

Amazing symmetrical reflections with good sharpness & saturation. Well composed & I like the warm cold color contrasts between the orange tinted clouds & blue sky in this superb sunset. The blue facade of the old building adds interest. Tfs!

Καλησπέρα Δημήτρη,
μια μαγευτική εικόνα με εξαιρετική σύνθεση, εντυπωσιακή καθαρότητα και συναρπαστική ατμόσφαιρα. Το βραδινό φως και οι αντανακλάσεις είναι ονειρικές. Παρά την ηρεμία του τοπίου, τα υπέροχα χρώματα και οι υποβλητικές αντιθέσεις, ο τεχνητός φωτισμός καθώς και η οπτική γωνία, δίνουν δυναμισμό και ενέργεια και κάνουν τον θεατή να μην θέλει να εγκαταλείψει αυτή την εκπληκτική εμπειρία. Συγχαρητήρια και ευχαριστώ!
Να είσαι καλά, καλό Σαββατοκύριακο,
Ουρανία

Καλό απόγευμα,
