Hi Benedetto; this is a really really dramatic photo-- and an excellent title too. It does look spooky. You've done a great job with the lighting. Cheers. Craig

Rob Ernsting   {K:8949} 2/11/2004
an extraordinary photo, or shold I say image. Very abstract and surrealistic. A Dutch contemporary painter, Karel Willink, could have painted it. Very good work. Regards, Rob.

Ciao Benedetto, mi sono iscritto al sito semplicemente per poter visionare e commentare fotografie come questa, dalle nostre parti il tuo nome è molto conosciuto, personalmente ti ritengo un grande artista e visionando velocemente le fotografie non capisco come mai tu non abbia i riconoscimenti che meriti, ci sono E.Choise che non hanno nulla a che vedere con le tue fotografie, non è polemica è una semplice constatazione. Sei uno dei pochissimi veri e grandi artisti.
Complimenti.

Benedetto, has joined to this place to be able to view and to comment photos as this, from our parts your name is very known, personally I hold you a great artist and quickly viewing the photos, I don't understand how come you don't have the recognitions that you deserve, there am E.Choise that doesn't have nothing to do with your photos, it is not polemic it is a simple verification. You are one of the little truths and great artists.
Thanks for sharing.
Congrats.

Massimo Di Maggio   {K:-56659} 2/11/2004
Superba, misteriosa, forte, magica, coinvolgente, emozionante... potrei andare avanti così all'infinito! Quando scorro l'immagine dall'alto verso il basso, mi immergo in un'atmosfera fantastica che mi riporta indietro nel tempo, poi quando arrivo alle due figure umane, mi risveglio dal sogno e capisco che è reale e perciò ancora più stupenda. E' perfetta in tutto! Ciao, un abbraccio. Max


cecilia tovini   {K:29169} 2/11/2004
Splendida e veramente drammatica. Spero di fare dei buoni sogni stanotte perché con una visione così negli occhi subito prima di andare a dormire non vorrei avere un incontro ravvicinato con gli abitanti di questo castello.
Non mi avevi promesso una e-mail. Io aspetto, sono molto paziente. Un bacione caro Cecilia


David Yates   {K:4698} 2/11/2004
WOW, Benedetto- it doesn't get much better than this my friend!
Really brilliant.

dear benedetto, EXCELLENT, frightening and inviting photo, what amazing combition! i love the mood, and at the same time the greatness of the scene and smallness of human being compared to the castle. added to my favorites.

So many old dramas there! Fantastic and breathtaking photo! Splendid!


John Hatziemmanouil   {K:40580} 2/13/2004
Superb! I love the lighting effects at the walls of this great castle! Very good one! Also the greyscale shot here adds a lot at the spooky looking place! Very very good!


Paolo Barthelemy   {K:25074} 2/13/2004
Sono arrivato un pò tardi ed e' già stato detto tutto quanto si poteva su questa meraviglia; splendidi i giochi di luci/ombre e la maestosità del castello arricchita da una perfetta inquadratura che comprende le due persone che sembrano essere appena sfuggite da una brutta avventura al suo interno per il procedere a lunghe falcate verso la salvezza. Complimenti, Benedetto!
Ciao e buon week-end.
Paolo


Kristina Kohut   {K:49990} 2/14/2004

Benedetto, tu non immagini neppure come sono contento di questo POD!!!! Ti abbraccerei se tu fossi qui, speravo proprio che questa foto finisse in prima pagina perchè è fantastica. E' un periodo in cui sto andando un po' a rilento, ma cercherò di non mancare i tuoi prossimi appuntamenti fotografici. Ciao, un abbraccio. Max

Congratulations Benedetto. Great atmosphere in this fantastic image....Best regards Harry


Jenni Alasuutari   {K:2090} 2/15/2004
Very well done Benedetto! I would like to learn new photographic techniques and therefore I ask you to tell me how you did this picture. Did you put many images together? It is amazing how the sky is so blurry as if you used a very long exposure time but then again the people at the bottom are so sharp.


Naty Z   {K:16486} 2/15/2004
Posto d'onore tra le mie favorites!!
Grandiosa, magica, spettacolare foto del giorno!

I LOVE those people in the foreground


david malcolmson   {K:4145} 2/15/2004
A fine example of Photoshop magic. This a striking image with lots of mood.The only thing that breaks the spell is the modern tarmac road with the painted lines.


Marta Pereyra   {K:5029} 2/15/2004
Amazing casttle! excellent work with the lighting!
Superb..like all your picture!
Congrats, Marta


Patricia Eifel   {K:5097} 2/15/2004
Congratulations on POTD and on another remarkable piece of work. Your technique enhances the medieval mood of the castle but then these two small figures, rushing to escape... well done!


Emgy Massidda   {K:60169} 2/15/2004
