I love your tall view of this and I'll bet it really looks great in a much larger view. A great job of framing this image!

Henri, This, your latest offering, works for several reasons in spite of the fact you've chosen a usually difficult light, that of the sunny midday. The red bloom (poppy?) at the bottom nicely anchors the scene with virtual diagonals leading from it to the rest of the major elements (trees, building) Even the building is framed by two tall trees, a composition within a composition. Much going on here with the various layers of colour throughout supporting the subject which I believe is the building (in spite of it's small prominence within the shot) Your title also provides a clue :-) . Even the relatively small mass of blue sky is broken up by interesting cloud patterns. Nothing here to bore one. Well seen & taken. Best, LM.

Thank you Len, you have said exactly the reasons why I took this photo, in spite of the difficult light (between 10 and 11 a.m.)

Very interesting image , Henri. I read Len's critique and agree with most of his points. You have found some attractive views of this chateau. This is a lovely shot , as usual. My personal preference may have been for the poppy ( a very important accent in this shot ) to have been placed more off centre , towards the left , thus opposing the chateau , but this is a minor point. Overall , congratulations.

Very nice Henri. I agree with Walter about the poppy, a nice touch, but I would rather see it on the left, as a lead into the scence. It is a distraction to my eye, centred as it is. Otherwise, I love this, another incredible image.

Wonderfully sharp capture. Beautiful color and detail. How do you like the 10-20 Sigma lens. Best Regards

Beautiful photograph, Henri. The point of the view is great. A delight of vertical composition and atmosphere. Regards

Another lovely landscape, Henri. You were on a roll that day! :-) I love the tiny bit of red in the foreground ... and the tall trees draw my eye to the castle and then the lovely sky. Great work!
