Comment from Susan F. M. T.

Fred,
A brilliant picture of the hilltop Fortress & village & Church on the lake side in which it is reflected beautifully framed by the mature trees on either side. The eye is drawn into the heart of the picture bathed in sunshine. Artistic composition, framing & lighting with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.
La France est belle!
Susan

Comment from avmurray

This is a truly lovely scene and you have pictured it so well. I especially like how well you captured the fantastic reflection and how nicely the trees on both sides are framing your photo.

Your photo is also nice and sharp with fine details in the church showing, and the all over light is fine. I still think the trees on the right are too under exposed and with loss of details, and in my opinion this is a distraction.

Your POV was very good placing the church off to the left, and the way the photo is cropped is also working well. I think this is an all together truly lovely and well taken photo, but the under exposure takes away from a full score.

Superb shot. So realistic that you seem to take the viewer right upto the exotic place. You have framed it well. The light, colour and the composition have worked well. Good effort!

A very nice perspective on this fine village scene. I like the way the church and its steeple dominate the scene. Very fine colors and an excellent reflection are nicely framed by the trees.

Beautiful. Such a rich history. The architecture is still amazing. Terrific strong colors. Great detail. The reflection in the water is gorgeous. Makes me want to go there.

Comment from gitmowxman

Great Picture, love the scene and would love to fish that river/lake (Initial Impact). Focus is good even the reflection in the water, a little blurred on top of the hill but this makes for a good DOF. Like the symmetry in the shoot, the globe affect between the city and hill with its reflection. thanks for sharing and HAGD.

Comment from Dick Lee Shia

Is it really spelled "Flour" Fred?
Oh, a religious place with an amusing name...
Well, its the essence that counts!
It looks like a fish eye lens capture.
A great initial impact. Nice interesting subject. Excellent POV & DOF...Harmonious colors. Impressive lighting, focusing & framing. Thanks for sharing...
