Wow, you have no idea how inspiring this is. You are such an awesome photographer. I could never take such great photographs. You probably wont even read this, there are so many comments on this pic. If you do though, thank you.
Cheers,

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!

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.

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.

Paolo Barthelemy   {K:25552} 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

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

Massimo Di Maggio Massimo Di Maggio   {K:-53658} 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

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.
