L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue

On a very prominent place in the town of l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue there is this chateau-like building. It currently houses a branch of a bank, the Caisse d'Épargne, but was originally built in 1880 by Honoré Dumas, an obviously wealthy miller. Your comments are very welcome.

Great shot, Vincent! Beautifully captured this old building surrounded by plants, river, reflections ... Good light, details, depth ... plus a bird in the frame. There is a feeling of calm. Bravo! Sincerely, Tatiana

Hi Tatiana,

 

thank you for your enthusiastic comments! The bird was an extra, I didn't notice it until I saw this photo on my computer screen. Kind regards, Vincent

Beautiful house and environment very well presented, Vincent! PDE

Hi Pierre,

 

thank you for your friendly comment! The light and the clouds helped a lot, just as the combination of the 5D Mk II and the 'plastic fantastic' 50 mm 1.8 lens, which always delivers. Kind regards, Vincent

Hi Vincent. I think the colors are very true and composition is perfect. The contrast adds a lot of depth and the details are wonderful. Fantastic capture. I updated the photo of the caterpillar as you suggested. I thing it looks a lot better. I could not update the image so I created a new one. Thanks for your help, Paul.

Hi Paul,

 

thanks a lot for your nice comments on this photo! Glad to hear you found my advice on the caterpillar photo helpful. Kind regards, Vincent
