A gorgeous representation of Salzburg here, Jim. This is a deep, rich image, with a touching mood. The red rose petals give it passion, the blue reflected sky gives it tranquility, and the Dom St. Rupert standing watch lends it strength.

Your photos from Europe are powerful, man. I love your vision.

this is superb Jim! You definitely got the eye :)
so well seen... so well composed... interestingly , the introduction of the petals and the water to the picture makes it soothing to read and reflect upon your description.
Really brilliantly done, my friend, the focus is done just right and i love the colors :)

Another great capture, this time from "salt mountain". I like the focus on the petals and the softness on the tower.

I'm enjoying this image very much.. to look at the different levels in it... the fountain, the petals and the building. As usual, I wanted to tell you what is my favourite, but I can't, they all combine perfectly. And after all this, there is this lovely framing with lines that lead the eye. Wonderful Jim!

lutonian says:

the composition is perfect and what an amazing building. i spent quite a bit of time looking at this today. my eye was drawn towards the textures surrounding the water, before addressing the red leafs, then finally the reflection of the architecture in the water. beautiful work !

I'm on the edge of my seat for every new post, Jim. The color variations on the stone is simply amazing in this. I agree, of course, with everything above. But, that color variation really pulls this together; the levels of red and blue is a reflection of...the reflection :) Superb. You've got a great vision when you have that camera in hand.

And I just noticed the green moss growing in the crevices of the stone :)

Why did you hide this?? ..ok, you didn't... flickr did :/ Bah!
This is hands down my most favorite image on your stream, Jim. (And since Ryan up there might have a cow, I'll say it's my favourite too) ;-)

Seriously.. the perspective, the dof, the compostion... pure poetry, my friend. This has the mood, the delicacy, and the technical finesse of a Shakespearian poem. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Perfect in every way.

(ps- guess who'll be pestering you for a print of this baby shortly... ;))

man, instant fave for me the instant i saw it. this is lovely work, jim. and thanks for the feeling of viewing these visions and moments with you. you have a storyteller's way of weaving the viewer into the photo. the arc of the water, the aging surface stone, the appropriate rose petals, the reflection of the historical tower, the accompanying history...all come together for one terrific view. thanks.

Jim, this is superb. Wonderful composition. The monochromatic colors of the fountain, building and sky contrast nicely with the rich ruby red of the petals. Lots of thought went into this I see.

racingsquirrel    says:

Splendid columns of autumn with the red and blue reflected off the mirror waters. A splendid contrast of the nature's fallen glory to the man made buildings. the bright colours as mentioned by kabn and the story telling as told by Lucy and Jami are special.

this is too perfect. the contrast of those red petals is divine against the blue reflection of the sky and the concrete ground which becomes almost like a blank canvas and an added layer of texture.
