Castello di Colle del Marchese, a photo from Perugia, Umbria

Photographer's Note

Castello di Colle del Marchese – Castel Ritaldi (PG)
Only a few remains of the walls remain of the castle and the access gate is guarded by a high and mighty quadrangular tower transformed, in an indeterminable age, into a bell tower. Inside the castle is the Church of San Pancrazio, just outside you can admire the Church of Santa Maria della Stelletta.
Still outside the built-up area, there is the new church of San Pancrazio, a modest construction of the last century, which however preserves as its altarpiece a stupendous Madonna with Child, Tempera on panel, made by the Master of Cesi in 1332 , comes from the Church of the Madonna della Selva morning.

Ciao Silvio,
The blurred mountains scenery on the far background enhanced the contrast with the town houses complex in the foreground.
Yet another place from your region with its ancient architecture's style.
Arrivederci,
Ike

Hi Silvio,

The mountain is framing well the village. The point of view is showing the details of the houses and of the churches. The light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Ciao Silvio,

Un autre beau village italien dans toute sa splendeur au sommet de sa colline, bien niché autour de son clocher. La montagne derrière offre un beau contraste.

Amicalement

Silvio, the village is nestled on a hill top surrounded by forests. A mountain appears in the far bg. Gorgeous landscape photo. Fine colors, good image quality, instructive photo note, regards.

Hello Silvio,
The town is very nicely lit and the warm rays of the sunlight make it stand out so well from the hazy slopes of the hills. Very well exposed and captured.

Hello Silvio, I really like this presentation with the small community in the foreground and the paler mountains dominating the background.
Good sharpness throughout.
Kind regards, Jean.

Gerrit (57571) 2019-11-15 15:07

Hello Silvio,
Looks like a very old village on the hill, the light is beautiful. You could have cnropped the sky for maybe a still better effect.
Thanks and regards,
Gerrit

Ciao Silvio,

I like the effect of the flattened perspective from the zoom lens which makes the mountains appear to tower closely over the ridgetop village. Good sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Ciao Silvio,
amazing view of the village on top of the hill set against a hill in the background.
Fantastic effect. Maybe the clarity suffered a bit, it looked like you used the end if the zoom to capture it but I love the idea and the fact that we can see the details of the church in the left.
Very well done!

Ciao Caro Silvio,

What a fine shot of the castle, perched high on the peak in the f/g.
You have used the lighting very effectively, to create a really good sense of depth; the illuminated f/g stands out well against the shadowy b/g, although we can still see the undulations in the shadows.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Silvio
A crisp formation of the medieval castle sitting peacefully on the top edge. I love the condensed history you provide, it's superbly captured from a well considered viewpoint with lots of interest around especially the eye grabbing tower. There's a superb contrast by lush green vegetation and the fuzzy blueish mountain background which also gives us a sense of extra space and colour splitter. A very well captured documentary shot, Congrats.
Best regards
