Hello Aleksander,

I visited this place a few years back and was amazed at the size and details of the castle. This set of statues is a main focal point in the courtyard. I always wondered though whatever happened to the hand of the second master on the left. Good framing.

Dear Aleksander

These Grand Masters of the Order remind me on the recent movie, certainly there is a connection. What so ever, you have been there, where the Grand Master of the Order have been as well. The monument looks impressive. The black statues against the green backdrop. So contrasts are bold and good,sharpness is great and DOF is fine. Well done

Best regards
Urs

WItaj Aleksandrze,
Bardzo groznie im z geb patrzy. W miniaturce wygladaja na prawdziwych. Ach to byly czasy... Fotografujac teraz takie obiekty chcialbym moc wyladowac np. w 1800 roku ze swoim Nikosiem;) Doskonala kompozycja i ladne kolory.
Pozdrawiam,
Darek

Bonjour Aleksander.
Ta photo met bien en valeur ces sculptures qui représentent les Grands Maîtres de l'Ordre des Chevaliers Teutoniques. Les visages et l'attitude sont ceux d'êtres déterminés.
Bon week end !
Jacques

Hello Aleksander,
I am unaware of which is these people, they are apparently warlike chiefs who were frightening. It is an good image, a good document, whose clearness and colors are of quality. Cheer.
Have a nice day
Cordially

Hello Aleksander,

The Teutonic Nights are presented as majestically in these statues, and you have photographed them beautifully. The subdued light is especially effective without the strong sunlight creating stark shadows.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Aleksander,
These bronze statues at a silent corner seem have solemn countenance, dense leaves add ghastly feel, nice to see old floor too, fantastic color between greenery plants and reddish walls, thanks for sharing an artistic corner.

Hi Aleksander,

Imposing statures which are marvelously development on this photograph with this luxuriant environment. I like much the image processing which gives the impression which these characters are alive… Good clearness of the image and interesting contrasts. Well done Aleksander.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles
