[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
*Alba county is known to be the romanian county with the most histoical sights.
*Câlnic is a village in Alba County(22km from Alba Iulia), Romania. It is known for its castle, which is on UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites.
*he castle, first mentioned in 1269, is very well preserved. Built as a noble's residence, it was bought in 1430 by local peasants and fortified. It consists of a large court surrounded by walls and some buildings adjacent to the walls. In the middle of the court there is a large donjon as well as a chapel. The castle differs from most other constructions of this type in that it is not situated on a hilltop but rather in a depression, much lower than the surrounding hills. This position, clearly inconvenient in case of a siege, can be explained by the castle's first function as a residence, not meant as a defensive construction.

Another superb composition of a castle against the brilliant white clouds. The low angle emphasize the size and gave brilliant clarity. Well done.

Hello Horatiu,
Very good light for this composition which brings a pleasing warm tone to these old stones and really brings out the detail in them. I like the composition and point of view; just one small niggle - the very tight framing at the top of the image. Excellent colours and clarity.

A very nicely composed shot with so much intelligence and talent. the light has been used well. the composition is lovely and the perspective, depth, texture and pov are nice. Lovely colours, it is a pleasure

Bonjour Horatiu
Bon cliché de cette forteresse. La grande netteté nous permet de voir tous les détails de la pierre qui a servi à sa construction.
Merci pour le partage et bon week-end.
Nicole

Hi Horatiiu,

great view of this castle with a fantastic sky, excellent light and colors. Only point of critique: I would have liked to see the whole building (the top of the roof)so maybe the cropping is too tight here. TFS

Hgello,

Je pense qu'il s'agti d'un château, il est superbe, le cadrage sur la muraille est mangigique, on voit bien le détail des pierre et de douces couleurs avec un mangigique ciels, superbe.

Bravo et belle journée

Nicou

Hello Horatiu,
superb details and light management here; compo works very well with the castle well standing against the beautiful cloudy sky and the colours, very soft and natural, are good to see. Details are well visible throughout and the quality you achieved is really really good!
Excellent result!
Thanks for sharing it and my best regards
Igor

Hi, Horatiu, hi, neighbour,

TFS, neighbour,
Nice WE.
Valerka:)

Hello Horatiu,
a very pleasant composition with good colors and view.
Julia

Frumoase tonurile pamintii ale constructiei.
Eu as mai fi lasat putin spatiu in partea de sus.
Imi place ca lumina e calda si umbrele nu sunt puternice.
Raluca

Giorgio

Buna Horatiu,
ce loc super..si ce poza excelenta
f misto
teo

Horatiu,
Great composition and POV for this shot showing the castle from a very good angle. The low angle shows the size of the structure as well as showing the great sky. I would like to see a little more of the sky above the buildings rather than cutting it off so close. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and detail.
TFS,
Asa

Nice composition, contrasting the texture and colour of the stones vs the sky.
Good job Horatiu!

Hi Horatua
From the small series about this castle this one is the best one, despite you cut the top of the roof. I like the off-centred composition and the great light. Nice sky as BG.
Cheers
JP

I love the way the texture of the walls is echoed in the texture of the clouds. Powerful composition.

- Impressive and excellent PoV on this castle, superb stones wall, beautiful cloudy sky also, well done!
Have a good Sunday.

Hello Horatiu,

Nice image :) The composition works very well, leading the eyes from the right low corner to the left high corner. Amazing sky, also.

Best regards, Laurent.

Great pic, excellent colors, a beautiful sky and wonderful 'profile' silhoutes of the buildings. Useful note too.
TFS and a happy new year,
Ioana

Olá Horatiu, just picked this one from the front page of TE and it immediately attracted me. Great impact of these historic walls against a beautiful sky. The composition is a bit tight on top (more sky would be nice) but I like the panoramic presentation. Nice textures and excellent exposure.
Best wishes,
ricardo

Very beautiful composition with ligh clouds..
very nice

Dear Horatiu,
The stones of the castle and the clouds speak a certain poetry together. This shot is beautifully lighted and framed. Thank you for sharing this and for the very helpful note. I am a huge admirer of the UNESCO World Heritage sites, and would love to visit as many as I could in my life. Again, I find your note helpful and I wish you well!
