Sigurd, Slayer of Dragons

I found this façade in a quiet corner of the royal gardens behind Potsdam's Schloß

Babelsberg, former summer residence of Germany's Emperor Wilhelm I.

I don't like the text at the top of the photo because it reduces your great image to something commercial, but I do like the image a lot. The wild angle, b/w, grainy texture are all great and give a strong feeling to the shot, but the text ... I say get rid of it. You don't need it because you've already got that same wording in the title.

That's an interesting point you make about the title at the top of the photo Maria. It's a template I came up with when I was using some of my pics for wallpapers, and I guess I've just stuck with it for the sake of consistency. It's possible that it may detract from the image in some cases, so perhaps it's something I should be looking at more carefully. Thanks for your feedback!
