I am proud to have this as my first place in "Old Structures" contest. I fell in love with this photo at first glance! The lighting, on the old, well preserved walls, the ornate and intricate carvings, the seats arranged in such interesting patterns, the colors, and above all the quality of the image, are perfect and work together to make a masterpiece of a photo!! Congrats!!
I love this photo so much. This photographic angle of this castle is so beautiful. I put 3 pictures of this castle, all of the same angle, into my top 10, and had a VERY hard time choosing this one for top 10.
What did it for me was the soft warm light on the castle, paired with the light pink streaks in the sky, reflected in the water. The black thing on the bridge is slightly distracting but everything else is so amazing that isn't noticeable. Great job!!
This is one of my favoritest photos of the contest. The setting of this stunning red old barn, nestled in the trees, is stunning. The dam with water pouring over it, the old mill-wheel, the quality of the image, the lighting, and most of all, the amazing clouds in the sky, really make you stop and look at this image further. Great job on this photo!
This photo is absolutely stunning. I can hardly imagine how you got such a lovely light on the photo, paired with the clouds in the sky. The castle and structures are impressive and stunningly beautiful by themselves. What I love also, is the light curve of the rail, and the people walking in the distance. Next to the huge walls of the castle, you can see even more people, but they are super tiny, wondering at how huge the castle is. The quality of the image is amazing. Great job!!
This is my favorite photo of the whole contest. I knew right off that this photo was going to be in my top 10. Everything about it makes me want to study it and intensely stare at it, wondering what happened there in old times.
First of all, the crop is perfect. I'm sure that it wouldn't be quite as mesmerizing if it was a portrait photo.
Second of all, the quality of the photo is stellar. The lighting coming in from seemingly nowhere is perfect, and the old-ness of the establishment is beautiful. I love how the basket(?) and table are still in such good condition for the stuff they have been through.
The walls still have drawings and paint, colors on them that make everything more interesting. Great job on this photo!!

This photo is absolutely stunning. I love the slight tilted to the side angle, not seen from head on. The long aperture, blurring slightly the water and reflection on the water, is really eye-appealing. The sharpness of the old building is perfectly sharp and the quality of the image is amazing. Great job!!
There were sooo many good and amazing photos of this stunning structure. I had a hard time deciding which one to put in my top 10. This was one of my favorites. I love the clouds and light in the sky, the bright green of the grass, speckled with some flowers, the sky reflection in the pond, and the quality of the image is amazing. Great job!
