This is a daily blue hour isn't it? :))
Hidden inside the greenery and observing the mansion sneakily, the photographer did his best to give the grandeur of the place with the help of this natural low POV. Great architecture with delicate details. Lovable...
Cheers,
Deniz

Hi Andre,
I like the way you have taken this shot. The whole structure is seems to be hanging & the blue background adds beauty in it.

Hello André,

Je ne sais pas si je serais tranquille posé sur un des ces surprenants balcon ! D'autant plus qu'ils ont l'air d'être plaçé relativement haut !
Le point de vue est interessant et te permet de créer une image en contre plongée impressionnante ! On se rend bien compte de la hauteur de cette maison suspendue !
Bien vu !

A+

Hi Andre,
The view upwards makes the building even more impressive, wonder how long it will stand like this. One small earthquake and it drops down.
Well presented here with the leaves on both sides for some depth...

Hello André,

Ces balcons superbement travaillés se détachent très bien sur ce magnifique fond bleu.
Beau regroupement d'art et de nature bien renforcé par la contre plongée
Amicalement

Hi Andre,
A nice wide angle looking up. I can't believe that they build them on the edge like that. I love the different levels of balconies, and the bright blue sky really makes for a great backround for the buildings to stand out on.
Regards
Wanda

Hi Andre,
very interesting point of view and fine composition to captured this wonderful picture. The depth is great with the rock in foregroung gives a great result and the position of those houses, so well taken, gives much more importance to the image. Very nice natural color and magnificent details.
Kind Regards.
