grosscheuern, taking a break while the tourists snap around

grosscheuern/sura mare/nagycsur, the decoration continues all along

the edges of the arches, and lots of painted wooden items inside,

from the 17th and 18th century. The light was magic inside. Comments

and observations are welcome.

I like this very much. The colors are beautiful. The blue shadows are quite nice. Are they a reflection of blue objects inside? At first glance, I felt that the woman was too overpowered by the arch she is leaning against. Maybe I'd crop left and top. But it's nice to see her expression so small and so telling amidst the rest of the environment. Nice catch.

Thanks, Mark. You are right, for a strict portrait of her it would be better without the details on the top. The fact it's framed like this and not from closer, is that i wanted to show some context to it, the main subject of the whole series being the buildings, and only here-and-there the "gatekeeper" shows up to give an idea about the people that still live there. Also, the composition of this is a bit awkward, she being looking out of the frame - i have to admit that it's because i had to crop it on the right side, there was a blurred shape of a person. My friend walked in the frame in the moment of sh release. By the way these inside shots are often close to or above 1s shutter time.

And the blue light comes from the sunrays directly reflected from the carpet and the fabric covering the chairs, that is blue (the stuff you see in the bottom of the frame).
