- The Arches of Heeswijck -

This is a part of the typical arcade of castle Heeswijck (Netherlands)

which history goes back to the 11the century. The castle has survived

unsettled times of war and braved the elements. In my PS treatment I

have tried to reproduce these heavy periodes by using dark

colourtones to create a more dramatic look.

 

I'll appreciate your constructive comments. Thank you, Ada.

Nice composition. The PS colors work perfectly. I am wondering why the frame is only on the left and right instead of all four sides?

Thank you Emily for taking the time to look and comment my picture. I'm glad you like the PS treatment. I didn't framed the bottom to create the feel you can step inside the shot. I don't know if it works like that for other people. It's only a feel that I have. I didn't framed the top only from aesthetical point of view. It would look illogical, I think. Thanks again for your kind words Emily, Ada:)

Absolutely incredible, Ada. Very nice indeed.

Bedankt Peter voor je mooie commentaar. Ik ben er erg blij mee.

 

Groetjes en welterusten voor zo meteen, Ada:)

Ada, I like that version without the bird, beautiful color range and clouds seen through the construction. Creative atmospher my friend, beautifully done!

Ada, I like the look you have created with this image, sort of reminds me of some of the paintings of several hundred years ago.....You went to alot of trouble to get everything exactly right for the style you have created.......Jim

Dear Pnina, thank you very much for your kind words. And this version is my favourite too.

 

Hi Jim, your comment really flatters me. Great to hear from you that this picture radiates the mood of past ages. And you have got me an idea: I will do an attempt to give this picture a real old painting-like look.

 

By the way Jim, have you noticed the farmhouse at the left side? That is Tony's favourite! I'm thrilled to his reaction when he sees this picture after his return from holiday:)

 

 

 

 

I think the colors and sharpness recreate the atmosphere, Ada: dark and dramatic with those pointed arches opening to the sky. Excellent job you did.

I like this version of subtle colours & I like your treatment in PS. The crop of half arch on both sides balances the full arch in betwee, Your PS skills always amazes me.

Great picture and wonderful atmosphere, compliments

Great atmosphere and very nice colours.Looks like from dark medieval times really.Greetings.Krzysztof
