Versailles

Photographer's Note

Versailles is crowded in summer but if you manage to go there on a week day in autumn, you may also find desert alleys in the park.

I can smell the leaves and taste the air. Great shot.

Awesome shot. I particularly like the two runners in the distance. I don't know if you included them intentionally or not, but they give this composition a feeling of gigantism. How small we are compared to the those old trees! Nicely done!

salut Regis.
c'est marrant ta photo dans la gallerie encadrait un elephant aec une photo de colonades de maniиre bien symetrique.
ces arbres comme ces colonnes me rappellent ces pattes d'elephant et je trouve le clin d'oeil sympa.
quant а ta photo, la lumiere est idйale avec ces deux joggers en fond et ces ombres qui jouent avec les couleurs d'automne.
belle prise.
amicalement

Very nice view. It certainly has a calm, quiet, autumn feel. The lighting was very well used here. The tree shadows create a nice pattern. And the hazy sort of atmosphere adds to the ambiance. But I especially like the two people at the end of the alley. They add scale and make the trees seem huge and suitable for a royal setting. And the continuation of the trees behind the two people seems almost like a film's matte painting backdrop. Very nice perspective and depth. Great work.

Nice with these huge trees all in a line, great light, great mood, very nice shot with a very nice perspective, Regis!

Des arbres merveilleux. Belle prise et profondeur. L'atmosphиre d'autumn trиs bien rйussie. les marcheurs, je trouve est vrasiment impressionant. А mon prochain voyage а Paris certainement que je visiterai ces allйes. Merci du partage

Good capture of the long path in the park. The trees are long and impressive. The shadows on the path and the couple towards the end add nice touch and interest. Well seen!

... and it is certainly better to walk here like this, Regis. Excellent perspective and depth, beautiful light shadows and colours, good work!

L'effet que donne ces ombres est magnifique ! Trиs belle perspective et le dйtails des deux personnes est bien vu, cela donne une prйsence chaleureuse а la vue et accentue finalement la grandeur des arbres. belle rйalisation.

I was there in August 1999 - what a busy place it was then. This road through these trees is very restful, even though these people in the distance look like they are running. I like how the shadows are falling - it still feels warm. You have captured it well. TFS

Belle photo! Les deux "petites" personnes, les arbres majesteux et les ombres font une composition sublime. Chapeau!

Gentle autumnal shot of teh countyside. The two figures are just in a perfect position to aid the composition.

Salut Regis,

fantastic Autumnal composition. The colour, light and shadows play well together. Your pov is perfect and the inclusion of the two runners gives it an awesome scale. A wonderful image, well captured and one for my favourites.
