Schloss Solitude

In S/W für mich am besten!

Besten Dank, cammino!

Sauber! Beide exzellent!

Großen Dank, Lothar! Ist eine schöne Ecke dort oben, wo einst Schiller zur Schule ging...

Very neat, effective use of Silver Efex!

Thank you, Marta! The weather cooperated:-)

A majestic building both in colour and B&W. Excllent for the challenge.

Thank you so much, Amelia! It's a place I really should visit more often, it's just on the outskirts of town...

An impressive piece of architecture................and captured in great detail. I actually prefer the colour version in this case, as it shows the subtle colour changes in the stonework, but both are very good.

Thank you, Keith! It's a great place but tends to be crowded, lots of wedding photographers,-)

Wunderbar, Gudrun ! Gefällt mir in s/w viel besser; obwohl: beide Fassungen sind toll !

Schönen Dank, Ulrich! Ich frage mich jedesmal, warum ich nicht öfter dort hinfahre und dann dauert's doch wieder Jahre,-)

Very good B&W.

Thanks a lot, Sami!

Prachtvoll....ach was für eine schöne Symmetrie! Und mir gefallen beide Versionen!

Besten Dank, Tanja! Im Original war's ein bissle außermittig, weil mir Leute iom Weg standen;-)

Sometimes B&W brings out much more detail ....Very impressive building Gudrun !!!

Thank you so much, Marj! It's a Rococo castle built by one of our Württemberg kings and highly popular with ramblers and wedding parties.

Terrific. I agree with Marj.

Thanks a lot, Jan!

So schoen und praechtig, Gudrun ***************

Danke vielmals, Marie-claire!

I like both, the b/w one gets more simple, more contrast

Thanks a lot, Wierd!

Both versionas are lovely and clear.

Thank you, Harriet!

wonderful bw image, excellent processing

Thanks very much, Luc!

That is such an impressive piece of architecture Gudrun, You have presented both version wonderfully. I think the blw version lets you explore the details without the distraction of the wonderful tones in the color version.

Thanks you so much, Chris! Buildigs from Baroque and Rococo always have such symmetry that it's a joy to take photos. This has been renovated a while ago so the facade looks nice and crisp which made the photos easy.

gute Bearbeitung, paßt.

Besten Dank, bk!

Very dramatic sky.

Thanks a lot, Esther! A red filter nicely darkens blue skies:-)

Splendid Schloss, both terrific photos and pov

Thanks very much, Gillian!

in schwarzweiß kommen die Details viel schöner raus

Dank dir, Chrissy! Ja, Farbe lenkt oft ab:-)

Both are beautiful Gudrun. I think I very narrowly favour the colour version.
Have a good new week.

Thanks very much, Rosa! A good week to you too!

super klarer SW

Dank dir, Karin!

A beautiful image of an imposing building, Gudrun. Although you have processed the b/w well, the colour works best for me.

Thanks a lot, George! If it hadn't been for the challenge I'd have been undecided about which one to choose;-)

The mono and red filter makes for a far more dramatic image, ice one.

Thank you so much, stoker! A red filter always works nicely to darken a blue sky.

Schöne detailreiche Aufnahme. Gefällt mir am besten in Schwarzweiss!

Herzlichen Dank, Rainer!

S/w ist mein Favorit.

Schönen Dank, Gisela!

Fabulous architecture Gudrun. Lovely symmetry and mono processing.

Thank you, Graham! A red filter does wonders for a blue sky.

Ein prächtiges Motiv hast du hier gefunden, das mir auch in S/W gefällt und in Weiß wunderbar vor dem dunklen Hintergrund zur Geltung kommt. Allerdings gefällt mir persönlich die farbige Version noch besser. Der beige warme Farbton wirkt edler und freundlicher auf mich und scheint die Wärme der Sonnenstrahlen eingefangen zu haben. Auch der Kontrast zum blauen Himmel ist sehr reizvoll und harmonisch. Sogar die Fensterläden harmonieren farblich leicht mit dem Blau.
