Kitch in California I

rfc

The photograph is very, very beautiful. If they had a way to clean the water in ancient Rome, it must have looked something like that (except of some elements :-) ... Though I am not sure it belongs to where it was photographed (the buildings with their style...) Jiri

Perfecto encuadre y bellisima luz,, colores suaves,, perfecta,, un cordial saludo...6/6.

Jiri: Those who had the wealth in Rome usually replaced water in their swimming pools continuously (But had to pay for it to the Rome Water Board). There is a netsite somewhere that explains it in detail. The Rome water system functioned better than the water system in many modern cities...

Hearst Castle San Simeon, CA

Very nice photo, I especially like the composition. My only negative is that I don't like the look of the sky. If I had to guess..I would say that your sky was mostly blown out, and you tried to compensate for it by using the shadow/highlight function in PS:) I say that because I have done the same thing...and was not pleased with the results.

 

Really though..it is a nice looking photo.

 

San Simeon, Hearst Palace? I like greek architecture a lot, maybe the sky is not as clear as would be in sunny California. Best wishes

Yep that place :). Thanks guys for commenting on the image. It was taken at the end of the day around 5 just before closing. We were actually the last group to visit the place that day. Was worth it though. Tom

You gave us the essence of a kitch.. jana

Tom-

I was actually just there this past weekend. Talk about an amazing place to live. I was looking for a good angle to capture the pool too, you did it very nicely.

This is a fantastic shot Tom. Love the title.
