The town is famous for its unique and impressive rock formations, the Belogradchik Rocks, which cover an area of 90 square kilometers and reach up to 200 meters in height. The town is a popular tourist destination. Important landmarks are the mediaeval Belogradchik Fortress and the Belogradchik Rocks.

Hello again,

This is a magnificent picture of the area. It looks like it should be on the cover of a fantasy novel, and seems almost unreal. Excellent POV. In the thumbnail version I couldn't tell where the fortress ended and the rocks began. I'm impressed by how well th viewer can see through the doorway in the fortress. That is not easy. Well done!

Regards,
Kate

Bonjour Philip,
tu as ce don de trouver les beaux endroits au bon moment et de mettre en valeur des ciels souvent inquiétants. La technique HDR utilisée ici, l'est à bon essient, parfaite pas trop poussée, juste pour donner les contrastes nécessaires.
J'aime beaucoup les lumières au sol, la prise de vue assez basse et la netteté.
Regards.

You have captured a great visual. The clouds, the formation of rocks and the gateway is calling me to visit the place.

A brilliant visual, love the dark brooding sky...and this is a very good example of a HDR !

danasam (1057) 2008-07-30 2:24

Hi Philip, excellent HDR photo, excellent work, very good balance and DOF, i like your POV that inclued it all. well captured. Sam.

Hello Philip,
The menacing sky adds greatly to the mood of this fine composition and suits the subject well. I like the low point of view and the use of the cobbled roadway to lead the eyes towards the gateway and up the hill beyond. Superb tones and clarity.

holmertz (9875) 2008-07-30 2:58

Hello Philip,
A fine composition with great light and colours. My eyes are dragged along the road straight to the gate and the rocks in the background. The dark clouds are magnificent, so much more interesting than a clear blue sky.
Regards,
Gert

Philip - another atmospheric landscape of technical perfection... its also nice how you also like to include something different for a subject.
Great work!

Well executed and good use of wide angle lens exaggerating walls of the medieval town. Those Belogradchik rocks are really impressive and i like how you presented it a bit off centered. The dark clouds turns the scene so mystical saturating the greens and the browns. Great shot, impressive one.

A beautiful and very interesting picture and note! The colors and detail are superb!! Really great composition! TFS and have a happy day!

hi Philip

This pov and composition definitely portrays a very dramatic sense of confined space inside these walls and you have captured this view very well. I like the rising rocks.

Good sharpness to show texture of the walls and ground.

tfs, bill

Hello Phil
Spooky looking place is what I thought of this capture mainly because of the muted colours and dark clouds, fantastic shot Phil, well done.

ellelloo (4907) 2008-07-30 22:27

Hello Philip,
A photo with a great mystic atmosphere. Including a man made structure with a creature of the nature in the same photo is effective. The footpath leading through the arch and towards the rocks is a nice detail. You really had an amazing sky in these photos from that remarkable place. Good natural colours, excellent depth and sharpness. Well done!
Greetings, Lasse

Great dramatic picture of Balkan Mountains. Every element, the rock formation, the darker mountains, and the even darker skies contribute to this dramatic atmosphere. The tonal composition is very beautiful.

Regards,

Mike

Hello Philip
The rocks in the BG must be the same what you'd posted earlier. your POV is fine with the walls forming a good lead-in to the gate& beyond to the massive unique rock structures. The moody dark sky is an asset to this picture. Wonderful work!
Best Regards
Angshu
