Grimaud, France (best viewed larger)

At first I though it was taken in La Mancha, was a windmill of Don Quixote. Like much your image. Best Regards.

Very nice Mike, colour tone and composition are fantstic. good choice of border as well. I wonder what this image would look like if the tree on the right was slightly blurred through DoF manipulation?

I like your new route of photography (or newly presented). Ill keep my eye on these. Well done

Very original composition, raising all to the sky...

A very good b&w tonality and angle.congrats.Y/A

These are lovely images Mike...at 19 I travelled with my first job to France then drove on to Rome. Ever since, for some reason, "I am always the 'last one to finish my meal" hhmmmm. Most seem to have a bit of an 'etherial' mystique about them. Especially the 'Castle' and the 'horse'.

 

In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, this compostion is most surely a very timely one. It speaks to me on many levels, and I am not ashamed to say so. Despite whatever difficulties may exist in my life, I have a multiude of reasons to be so very thankful. This is a personal 'take' I am sharing, but during what can be a very 'commercial' season....your image transports us into another time...that has become 'timeless'. It compels a viewer to explore their own persoanl 'insights and searchings of the Soul'. This 'jog' in your journey has produced some very beautiful images. Thankyou for sharing them with us....oh yes...may you have a Christmas Season like none other...may you be blessed with an existance touched by Compassion and Freedom....and a reignighted "hope" for a world filled with Joy, Peace, and Love. No matter how unattainable....when all else is gone...may you always have 'hope' and 'Love'. Sincerely, Gail

Composition with B&W ...great
