There are a lot of photos of Bamburh castle. This one is original. First, because it doesn't show a threatening sky - like most of the other images. Then because it is taken from a drone, and that suits me well. Because the quality of the photo is there: the horizon is perfectly balanced, the clouds are those that usually accompany the sunset and the light and the atmosphere are extraordinary. Bravo for this really beautiful image and for the serenity it exudes. Thank you for participating in my contest.

We imagine that the castles are large, massive, and that they show a certain power of the people who inhabited them. We also imagine an almost black sky, eternal memory of the dramas that took place between their walls. This is how many photographers work with their photos. On the contrary, here, this castle is shown in autumn, in a colorful and romantic landscape. And this photo is beautiful, really, with its soft light, soft colors and soft highlights. I love this image and the peace it brings to the soul when I look at it. Congratulations for the photo and for the emotion it gives. And thank you for participating in my challenge!

Here I like the majesty of this castle that the wide angle makes so well. All the strength of this photo lies in the vertiginous central tower which refers so well to the century of the Renaissance. This castle is little known, but here it is photographed with great talent, under a beautiful morning light. Congratulations on this well-deserved place and thank you for participating in my contest.

Is it a castle or an abbey? Or both? I did not know this place and obviously I have a lot of things to uncover! Other photos of this castle also exist in this contest. And even great photos. But I prefer this one, which is also well composed and much less tragic. Here the castle brings the light and I like it! Bravo for this beautiful place deserved and thank you a thousand times for participating in my contest.

It is a very good photo, well in the theme, well framed, perfectly worked and totally mastered. I really like the framing, the place that the castle takes in the photo, and also the cold colors, which here are quite legitimate and beautiful. Once again congratulations, and thank you a thousand times for participating in my contest.
