basia - Apr, 16 2012 10:04am Hugh, the castle is beautifully presented on a background of yellow flowers. pesu - Apr, 16 2012 10:04am Great photo, Hugh! Out centred stunning structure in the top third dividing the gaudy rape yellow and the nice sky blue. I also like the road perspectively leading to the building through the picture. (Sorry for my English!) horourke - Apr, 16 2012 11:04am Thank you both very kindly for your nice compliments. And to you Petra I say what a wonderful in-depth interpretation of the proportions and colour relationships. I fear there was no expert realisation on my part of such factors - I was just stunned by the colour when i drove the car round the bend and there it was!! There is another interesting little aspect in the tiny black dot on the white cloud above the turret. I will presently post an enlargement - It is a hovering hawk being harassed by a small bird. mistybleu - Apr, 27 2012 07:04am This is a lovely picture. Such simple flowers but how beautiful horourke - Apr, 27 2012 07:04am Thank you Amanda. In addition to their simple beauty and energy rich seeds these are a rich source of honey for the bees! rangutan - May, 01 2012 08:05pm Wow Hugh, now THOSE are pretty flowers that I like very much :-) ***** A pitty the image was cropped into a square, was it a Polaroid camera? ;-))) horourke - May, 01 2012 09:05pm Thank you Rudolf for your very kind words and rating. When taking the picture I tilted the camera slightly so it was necessary to straighten the image and I cropped it to eliminate the resulting white area arising from the tilt. At the same time I decided to eliminate a tree on the left which I felt was a distraction. I have posted the image with minimum cropping on http://www.allexperts.com/user.cgi?m=17&imgID=99612 and I take your point that the proportions are more pleasing.
