Description
Those flowers are free and so is the gargoyle high up the wall. Neither of them can move too far, but nevertheless they will experience a lot in their lives, especially the gargoyle who has seen more life and death than I will ever know. Hopefully...Never take your freedom for granted.

What can I say? I love the color, of course. And the contrasting flower and stone building. Also, especially, the height of the flower with the angle you've taken. It gives the flower quite an illusion of greatness.

Awesome job! Again, I can't say anything everyone hasn't already covered but I love the angle on this and the contrast between the building and the flowers. Great job!

you're the one, neo.
great work, but you know that. again: fantastic color combination and the grey building takes enough color out to make the pink, green, blue stand out even more. again: wow!

Far out! This is fantastic. I'm not sure whether it's the wonderful perspective looking up to the sky, or simply the way all the colours appeared arranged in the tine wee thumbnail I saw first, or even in the rich colour. Maybe all three. But I like this a lot

Not bad, but for my taste, there is far too much 'noise' in the picture. Not technical (digital) noise, but the picture is just too messy. The leaves on the flowers, the background, the side of the building on the top-left edge of the image, and the dark area in the middle / bottom are all very disturbing to the whole of the image. All in all, the picture seems to lack focus; The eye gets drawn in all directions at once.
My impression is that - especially based on your other works - this is little more than a snapshot with a story behind it. Not bad, of course, but as far as photography goes, the picture should tell the story, and the caption should clarify, or add new ideas.
In your favour, though: The technical quality is superb. The DOF is amazing, and it counts strongly in your favour that you managed to avoid sun flares etc.
Try again - I'm sure this location offers many opportunities.

It's not surprising that if you go to another country besides the U.S. you find awsomes structures and beauty to take pictures of. Viva La France!

wow! thatΒ΄s a great shot
the 3 main colors (i mean the pink of the flower, the gray of the castle and the blue of the sky) came out so well and give a great contrast
i love it how you placed the flower in the pic, and still give the gargoyle a chance to be seen
awesome
keep up the good photography!
