Timbered House in Sobotka, a photo from Kralovehradecky, Bohemia

Photographer's Note

One of the more than 60 timbered cottages in the small town of Sobotka, (more than half of them are state protected as a part of national heritage.)

I might have noticed that I posted similar image a few weeks ago and then I deleted it - my post processing was awful and I cannot realise why I did not see it then. I messed the dark image with shadow highlight command and wrong saturation.
Now I am posting another trial - I think much better, where I improved the dark cottage with adding a new partial layer and combined it with the first one using veil (I have the Czech version of PS so I hope my translation is good).

For those who want to see the difference I am sending the previous awful image in WS.

Hi Romana,

This image is beautiful - the heritage houses really do stand out and the sharpness and framing is spot on.

I would be keen to see your first image when I go into the workshop.

Thank you for sharing

Hello Romana, This is an absolutely beautiful picture of these old cottages. The composition is excellent with the road or path providing a secondary line of view and bisecting the buildings from the rest of the picture. Sharp and clear providing the viewer with evidence of the age of the buildings. I really like the shot. Now I will look at the WS. Regards, Roger No comparison with your current posting which is so much superior. Great Job.

Hi Romana,
the place is nice and interesting, this version for me is much better than the other where, in my opinion, there was a dominant red color.
regards

Dobry Vecer Romana
Lovely village houses and a well realized image that makes good use of the not too strong light
Have a nice day JY

Hi Romana,
A very beautiful view and an excellent post processing. I don´t recall your previous upload, but I have also learned that the "shadow highlight command" can be quite difficult to master. But this here is a very good picture with a interesting content.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Romana Hi!

Very well done photo. I love those old "dilapidated" houses. Good point of view, the informative visual content. Good colors and sharpness. It goes for you :-)
She asked:
The answer: my wife and I are working independently. We share in our time. (And of course the customers :-)
3 months trying to travel somewhere for a few days, but this is the price that we are working mostly on weekends. So we got to the Czech Republic this year for 1 week, 4 days in Venice during the summer holidays - as usual - Rhodes 2 weeks, and next week we travel to Morocco to look around a bit. The journey we are not in high demand, including vacation, enough for a bed and a shower. The discount airline ticket is taken forward. We believe that the quality of the hotel is not important, but its location and attractions. It's that simple :-)
Sincerely,
Csaba

PS: I do not know as I understood this:
Hungarian language of the horse: (ló) and the hippopotamus (viziló)(waterhorse) :-)
Therefore missed the hippo is one of the picture because you ... :-
