Great play between darkness and light. You really were able to give a very dramatic feeling to the castle...

C'est vrai qu'on les voit les fantômes! Très belle lumière. Atmosphère de cinéma!

Bravo!

It appears as the remnant nails from the foot of a giant trojan beast.The visual weight of the stonework bearing down with incredible pressure upon the blackness.Defiant against the day.Wonderful!

Great balance of shades!

Makes me think of fables and faerie stories in lands with unnatural creatures and adventures.. so well done, Gilles.

Guest		29-Aug-2005 18:19
Just fantastic! I bet you can take hundreds of great shots there!

Sharon Rogers		29-Aug-2005 17:30
The light makes it! Wow, very brooding image.

Chris		29-Aug-2005 16:28
Damn that is a cool shot. Dramatic and powerful in scope. Vote.

This is a very haunting image. Wonderfully done!

On perçoit l'histoire dans ce monument. Bravo pour ces belles nuances de gris.

Superbe atmosphere! Quelle belle lumiere et composition! I like the staircase even if it is a modern feature. It is a sort of link between the two worlds.

Gilles, I'm astounded by this. I think you prefer shadow to light. I love how you 'push the envelope' so much with the darkness in your images, in tone and in mood. I'm dizzy and exhillerated looking at this. One of your all-time best. Vote, of course.

Comment le "quotidien" devient mystery ;-)) alem

Guest		29-Aug-2005 07:48
dark and moddy gilles...great conversion. though not too sure about the walkway/staircase...kinda distracting. :) besides, why would ghosts want a staircase anyway. :D

Johan Toll		29-Aug-2005 07:21
Fantastic atmosphree! I love the tones and light! - Vote!

Steven Jusczyk		29-Aug-2005 07:16
Beautiful contrasts set against the dramatic sky. Great mood.

ewa toll		29-Aug-2005 06:57
