Dunnotar Castle , 1 place / 2 views

Genius = Dimitri !!!
U've given life to those rocks...Seems like they tell u a very old story and then point out and say - See, thats the Castle...!!!

It even seems like smone has painted some kind of abstract art on the rocks ....
Simply awesome !!!

Great shots, Dimitri! They make you wonder how anyone actually got into that castle!
Looks pretty impenetrable to me, especially in that last photo. Outstanding view!

Super job Dimitri _ looking at the linked images they appear almost as if you could walk into the photo.

The Second image is fantastic, Dimitri.
There's a lot to like about it.
The colour, the lead-in, the detailed sky.
It's a nice, contrasty shot with a great depth of field.
Sometimes a cental subject works and in this case it does, IMO.

The first image I would have panned more to the right.
You can afford to loose some from the left.
I'm just not too keen on how the cliffs meet the sea right on the edge of the frame.
Makes the image look a bit tight to the right, if you know what I mean.
Still a good image by anyones standards.

Very beautiful shots! nice captures!!!!

I love both shots, the detail and color of the rocks in the foreground of the first really appeal to me. Excellent work.

Second for me, I like how you have used light and shadows to give a needed depth.

Second one for me too.

The first has some amazing boulders: they look like they were painted on purpose for this shot.

The horizon seems a little bit tilted though in the first one. Or is it just me?

If i had a different view,you would see that the actuall access to the castle doesn`t exsist any more,its all gone with corossion,they have create a new one with steps.

There was a waterfall there Les,the perfect front drop for the castle.
There was a need for rope to access it though.

Its just you Andrei,its a very very tricky area.
I did everything i could to try and equalise the horizon a bit but no matter what you do to it,it still looks tilted,its the whole ground area.
Thank you for the lovely coments my friend.

You're right about the wet rocks...very pleasing effect. Can't decide which one I like better...I enjoy them both. That castle sure looks like it wants to be explored. Man, I wish we had some of those old structures here in the states.

Beautiful shots Dimitri, you are quite adventurous - I have some shots taken there last year, and we were not bold enough to try and get down to the beach!

You nailed them both Dimitri, but number two just takes you in.

Dimitri, that second one is incredible! I like them both, but that second one got a WOW when I opened the larger size. Who cares if the castle is centered? Its terrific just the way it is!

Sorry Jim,its only the old Brits that could afford these kind of buildings i`m afraid.

Actually Ann,the way down the beach is quite easy,the waterfall i wanted to reach was a bit scarry,i needed a rope for that.

Yea,i know,i`ve seen quite a few pictures of very known photographers and they had objects slap bang in the middle.
