Afternoon view of Trakai Island Castle. The castle was built in 14th century on an island in lake Galve. It's probably the biggest castle in Lithuania.

Camera settings: 85 mm zoom, Av mode, ISO-200
Converted from Raw with color temperature set to 4550K.
Darkened blue color, slightly increased saturation.

Previously I have posted night time view of Trakai Castle

Très belle lumière sur ce château !! Le contraste entre le bleu du ciel et la couleur du château est très belle !! L'image penche un peu sur la droit il me semble !!
Bravo !!

Hi Linas,

Great contrasts between terracotta tones and blues on water and sky. Architecture of castle and its splendid facades are really eye catching. You used the light perfectly. Congratulations.

Linas,
This is a fine shot of this great castle. The inclusion of the water in the foreground provides a good lead in for the shot. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. Nice contrast is created by the orange color of the castle against the blue sky and water.
TFS,
Asa
