Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
and I'd blow that one for the other wall...see the embedded columns to the right, I'd be hanging on for dear life, so that I wouldn't have to leave...it's fantastic and so beautifully composed, as always ;)

@Lorraine: thank you, Lorraine. Your comment is just wonderful and so funny!
Mirko Herzner from Mühlheim am Main, Germany
I still like it... :-) Same comment as yesterday: As I experimented with black & white a bit over the last days (not on the blog, though) I think this too would work so good in b&w.

@Mirko Herzner: I agree. I will try it also in b/w. thanks, Mirko.

Evelyne Dubos from Le Mans, France
Hi Michael ! L'ambiance un peu dramatique donnée par le ciel en particulier (traitement HDR ?) convient bien au sujet et donne beaucoup de force à la photo.

@Evelyne Dubos: Merci, Evelyne. Oui, la photo est HDR.
@Koushiro~光子郎: many thanks, Koushiro.

It looks very good. Which means that, as with every technique, we have to apply HDR sensibly.

Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Sometimes it is hard to know what to say about a picture when it is so perfect in so many ways. The castle is beautiful and you have taken the picture with the light on it that enhances all the architectural beauty. The angle is perfect and that sky is glorious. Well done Michael as always. I agree with Judy, a storybook image.
