Jardins de Versailles

[LizardKing]

Hello everybody!

I'm looking at old photos to pick a few of them for the Facebook page I'm about to launch one of these days, and I keep finding images I like and had forgotten.
In the distance you can see the Château de Versailles -- This has been photographed so many freaking times, that I tried to get something different. Hope you like it!

Nice one! The saturation of the sky and the grass is the optimal (for my ''tastes'' ). My only suggestion, is the zoom on the C.d.V. I think it would be better to be
more distinct, but nevertheless I like the picture!

I always have troubles finding the right amount of saturation for a picture. Always tend to fall short or go way too far, but I felt with this one I somehow found the right amount, at least for my taste too. The idea was to make the Chateau look small to accentuate the gardens, but I'm afraid it's too small
Thanks for the feedback!

I have color saturation issues, too, and I think it is common in digital photography. On my desktop computer--where the bullwork of my photo editing is done--edited photos looks fine. But when I view the same photo on my laptop, it looks flat and I have to adjust, over-adjust or under-adjust.

I think the blue sky looks a bit too rich on your photo plus the grass dominates your landscape.

Nicely done. The saturation's a touch too much for my taste, but it's not crazy. If you like it, it's great.

Placing the sign in the frame is a nice touch, and does give us a little something different. Good idea.

I'd crop that sign out.

Yeap, happens to me all the time too!

You mean I should dial down the sky a little?

Thanks! Actually the sign was what triggered the whole idea for the picture.
About the saturation, I was doubtful and played for a little while trying to find the right balance. I think I like it this way

I could leave it out of the frame or clone it out, but I kinda like it. However it's good to know not everybody feels the same
