Photographer's Note

We were visiting this castel near Brugge and the light get in such a strange way filterd by the clouds that the landschape become almost sepia color!!
Unfortunaly i don't know anymore the name of the cstle but i have seen it before here at TE. Can someone help us with the name?

** I just learnd from Marc (Haybelg) that this is Castle Van Tillegem. Thanks Marc!

Hallo,

Ik ken dit kasteel zelf niet, helemààl aan de andere kant van het land voor mij, maar het doet me denken aan iets stripverhaalachtige, Suske en Wiske of de Rode Ridder. Ook de tinten en de stormachtige lucht doet dit. Ik ben samen met jullie benieuwd naar de naam van dit pareltje. Mooi fotowerk!

Hello Kik,

A lovely, detailed shot of this delightful castle displaying the architecture with sharp focus.

There is a nice lead-in from the bridge and the tiny l/h corner of vegetation, balanced by the upper r/h twigs, assists the overall composition.

The dark sky suggests a sombre mood.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello,

Quelle belle ambiance, une ambiance de château, il y a peut-être un fantôme à l'intérieur, j'aimerai bien le rencontrer, sil est aussi beau que ton image et que le château, il doit être très sympa.

bravo et amitié

WOW! Great effects and really good mood. I like that dramatic sky and the beautiful architecture of that castle.
Good job!

Olá KIKS, this one reminds me the pictures of Jaap (carper). The light is strange indeed and a bit scarce, but I like the resulting mood and the framing is quite nice with golden vegetation at left and some branchs on the opposite corner. The architecture surrounded by water is spectacular.
have a nice sunday,
ric

Hi kik & ko
A really nice composition here for sure. I like the sepia tones and its sharp details.
Have a nice week

johnfreeman (2274) 2008-10-27 8:49

Hi Kik,
You're right, the light has a soft, slightly reddish-magenta quality that gives the picture a painterly feel. I think it works very well with this subject, enhancing the castle's slightly gothic and mysterious air. Nicely done.

Hello Kik!
First of all, I'd like to say I have commented on one of your photographs ("Come, sit and enjoy") that I really like, however, as we cannot edit our comments anymore, I was unable to give two points to it! Sorry! Anyway, again I looked at your gallery and found this one: the architecture of the Castle is superb and you have done such an excellent job in your picture to show it to all of us! Very good sharpness (at the right point), natural and beautiful colors, excellent management of light, pov and composition!
Thank you for all the comments on my pictures!
Thank you for sharing yours from Belgium with all of us!
Warmest regards and greetings from Brazil,
Neyvan Peçanhuk

de sfeer is prachtig, het formaat is goed en de compositie is fraai gezien. prettig om naar tekijken Kik, mijn complimenten. prettige dag verder.
groet Jaap

andykirkland (6) 2008-11-07 4:27

Captivating. The castle stares off the image like a professional model. The bridge guides your eyes to the red gate of entry into superb colors and detail. Great composition. The grass in the foreground shows good depth of field.

fightingillini (217) 2008-11-09 21:01

I really like the POV on this shot, and the colors are nice. It almost does look sepia!

Hi Kik Ko,
You captured very interesting color and detail in this well-framed castle.

josevescovi (1750) 2008-11-27 13:30

Excelente enquadramento, cores e nitidez nesta bela foto. Bonito e competente trabalho.

zmey (7335) 2008-12-11 13:16

hey, you TWO ;))
love the 3d effect that you have managed to achieve here. the castle is almost jumping out of the screen...

kristaps

giorgimer (35017) 2009-01-15 6:18

Hi Kik,

I agree, it's really special! Wonderful architecture, a dreamy view.

Very well done!

BilboCA (734) 2009-09-04 21:21

Hi, Kik,

You really have captured magical light in this photo. Combined with this subject -- a castle surrounded by a moat -- it has a strong fairy-tale feel.

You've used the framing elements nicely, the touch of vegetation in the upper right and lower left corners.

Clarity and sharpness are quite good and the colors, a bit subdued, are appropriate.

Compliments!
- William

ruisc_pt (11584) 2010-09-02 3:09

hi Kik ko
Impressive image with a dramatic ambiance.
I like the softness of the light you capture here with the heavy sky in background and making a kind of theatre painting backscatter.

Good evening KIKs,
spectacular scene, this view reminds me some scenes from either Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. Its magic colours, cloudy sky, grey background brings sense of magic and unreality onto the picture.
Lovely image.
Mike

quillo (11858) 2011-05-16 8:34

I like this image..... 'Almost Sepia!'
but it is a color, soft and charming,
as the light with this half- sun,
which does an attractive and agreeable composition.

Felicidades amigos Kik y Ko

Hallo Kik,

Mooie standpunt, want je hebt als kijker het gevoel dat je meekijkt over je schouders.
De verdeling en belichting zien er net zo verzorgd uit en de lucht (dat er echt heel goed bij past) maakt het geheel compleet....Knap fotowerk.

Vriendelijke groeten,
Robert

macjake (98260) 2011-08-16 16:10

Hi kik
how could anyone not fall in love with this scene. the castle is stunning, and mostly due to the composition, standing tall and very proud, strong stance.
I'd love to see this in person, and in various lighting conditions.
great shot!
cheers
craig

fabianoleite (13575) 2011-10-07 10:42

Beautiful castle, with well defined lines and great shapes and colors. The lighting and framing were well managed. Good work, congratulations!

ikeharel (112395) 2016-05-21 1:13

Good morning Kik,
The title fits well the picture, assuming light was very low and gave this tones.
also, the color of the built bricks added a reddish tint - yet, the sight is awesome, and you chosen the favorable POV upon.
Enjoy your weekend,
Ike
