Hi Eugenio, I'm struggling with this image when I look at it. The composition is quite pleasing - the gentle slope leading to a rather majestic tree on the right hand side, the walls of the old castle adding interest.

The difficulty for me is the light, which is awfully bright and distracting in the background in particular, I think it is accentuated by what looks like a low lying fog which is causing more illumination of the available light. Also the foreground grass which has blown out, it's not a pleasing soft light, it's quite harsh. I would suggest that you would shoot this area with the sun rising or setting so that you can work with the softer lighting and perhaps avoid the contrast between the darker areas here and the overblow areas.

There's most definitely potential here, but the lighting is not being kind to your composition and make it hard, for me, to engage with the photograph. Best regards, Janet

Hi! I like the way the trees have formed a frame for the man-made structures. The walls seems also a modern sculpture in the middle of a country scene. Jose Paulo

Ciao Eugenio,a beautiful,simply and well done picture.The light can create wonders like this.The mountains in the fog like background, the great tree with the colors of the spring, and the diagonal of the medieval walls it has the beauty of the simplicity and with a great load of the history.Best regards,Marta

Great light and spring colors in the tree , Eugenio! Very strong composition with simplicity of elements. You might fix up with clone/stamp tool that spot of dead leaves just in the center. Nice work. Best regards, Lamar.

Hi Eugenio, great image with those two imposing trees on both sides of the image framing the castle walls. It must be quite a breath taking view here when one can admire those distant misty mountains. Good sharpness and exposure. Regards, Fong

Directional sunlight on the tree at the right and on the castle walls are very warm and nice with the hazy/foggy atmosphere and mountain background, the castle wall seems to be the element for point of interest here, so I would have chosen a different angle to compose with only one castle wall/column is included within the frame probably in the foreground.

It's an interesting thing this one, Eugenio, because of the fine game amoung sun's light and reflections and blurred background, but, above all, because of this so unusual choiche of having, as protagonist of the scene, the merlons of castle's walls (Toblino, again, is it so?), and taken in a so particular way.
Fine sun's lightness, and fine, too, the tidyness of trees's branches.
A pleasant image.

This is a great photo. I like sharpness & the contrast. The misty fog is good in my opinion--it's gives a mystical sea wall/high mountain look. I would've liked to have seen the entire tree on the right. It's character & color are incredible.

very simple and nice composition. extremely sharp and very well executed. i love the game of light and shadows you got. i would have preferred a little more contrasted background, i mean not so "washed" by this kind of fog, but i suppose that wasn´t on your hand. good work. congrats Eugenio.-Edu.-
