Schitterend, John! Werkelijk een foto om er trots op te zijn. Echter dan echt... wat is dit mooi!
Dat gras... het voelt als zijde.
De kleuren, het kontrast, de lucht... het hele beeld barst van schoonheid, wat kan ik nog meer zeggen... chapeaux, vriend!
Ik wens je nog een hele fijne avond, thanks for sharing!
Tot gauw,
Fulvio.

Mooie foto John.
Mooie opbouw in een klassiek concept maar het kasteeltje ziet er dan ook klassiek uit dus mag dat ook zo zijn. Lekker diep in de verf met een erg mooie kadering...prima werk.
Hij lijkt iets scheef te staan, maar echt storend is het niet.
Groet, Henk

Is it privately owned? I think this is the first time I see such type of roof on the towers in Western castles. I believe that architecture is much more common in Eastern Europe. Anyway, this is another excellent works of yours. Well done.

Cadrage symétrique et format à la Carper....
Un chateau qui se dresse majestueusement dans un écran de verdure bien nette.
Apparement pas facile de bien exposer le ciel.
Les couleurs sont magnifiques.

Hello John,

Un chateau qui semble illuminer le chemin qui y mène. J'aime beaucoup le contraste entre l'avant plan sombre et la lumière sur la façade du petit chateau. La composition centrée s'imposait ici !
Bravo !

goede foto John,
het licht was niet optimaal hier getuigen het wolkendek. de compositie is goed en scheef vind ik overdreven, al moet ik zeggen dat ik er geen liniaal bij heb gelegd. goed fotowerk hier John, prettige dag.

Hello John,

The trees are a natural frame to the castle. The road leads our eyes toward the garden and to the castle. The four towers are the eye catcher of the subject. The photo is clear and precise. The light is making the colors of the castle to stand out surrouded by the green colors of the trees and lawns. Have a nice day.

Bonjour, mon bon ami John,
Allée royale pour se rendre au château ! J'apprécie cette architecture si typique du Nord (Belgique) !
Pour un château du dix-septième siècle, celui-ci conserve est magnifiquement conservé.
Le cadrage central souhaité me semble de très bon aloi ! cela donne un impact supérieur.
Très bonne prise de vue.
Amitiés.

Hi John,
The beauty of this castle increases because your centered setting is magnificent, with a great perspective.
The symmetry works very well in this composition, the architecture of the castle surrounded with vegetation has a good aesthetic level.
Good work with the light and the colors.

Olá John, superb central composition with excellent colors. There's no possible distractions - It takes us right to the beautiful architecture and I love that. A brown carpet to the brownish castle. A pitty it can't be visited. Congrats for this effective shot.
Have a nice weekend,

Hi John, A most dramatic photo of this very impressive property. It looks like a dream here and would be a suitable venue for a movie. Well balanced through symmetry in this situation. TFS. Murray.

Nice us of dark and light... the vignetting on the edges seems to bring attention to the castle in the centre of the frame.

Overall, is works well!

Hola John.
This time the centered position of the beautiful castle in your shot is very good, even though you didn't have a good light at that time the colors are great and your composition is excellent. Amazing architecture.
Well done. TFS.

Hi John.

Ce château est bien particulier avec les toits de ses tours avec des bulbes. La symétrie de l'architecture est bien mise en valeur par le POV de la photo. J'aime la perspective de l'allée qui conduit à l'escalier d'honneur. Les couleurs sont au top.

Greetings, John -
I like your choice of perfectly centered symmetry for this shot. The castle's architecture really lends itself well to that approach. Nice warm colors and good sharpness to show the architectural details. Very well-composed shot.

Deze is de beste van de laatste 3, mooi licht progressie vanuit een donkere hoek genomen vergroot het dieptegevoel, als het ware in deze scene opgezogen. Met een bracketing had je mischien kunnen anticiperen voor meer textuur in de carper-wolken :) maar hier mooi zacht gradiant ondervangen, zeker niet storend.

• batalay (15818)

Hello John,

This perfectly symmetric perspective appears ideal for presenting Krishoutem Castle. For a telephoto shot from 200 meters, the length of two football fields, this is an extraordinarily successful photograph. The resolution and colors are brilliant an crisp.

Last week I spent several hours at the National Gallery, and the two collections I focused on were the Renaissance art, and the Dutch and Flemish paintings.

Warmest regards,

Bulent

As usual from you, very well taken and composed scenery. The picture is very well framed by branches of the trees. I like very much the colour of the unpaved road contrasting nicely with the green grass.Thanks for interesting and informative note.
