You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
- Hermes
There have probably been thousands of photos taken of this lady, but none anymore beautifully taken as this. Good planning and your framing really compliments her. She would be pleased.
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
From this perspective, I feel like I'm watching a performance, or perhaps a speech. nice job. I like the simple composition of the shot, but might've preferred a little less yellow, or stronger counter colors to balance it. Lastly,the framing is nice, but for such a simple scene, a little too much (but no, doesn't look bad). maybe just use the blue?
Oh that is just great ! I see you have found time to visit the Schönbrunn Pallace again, it must be lovely in this time of year, i am sure !
I have stoped here only for a brief moment and took a shot of the front side of the pallace, did not have more time, since i was on my way to Bratislava that day.
I hoped to return to view Wien later in the holliday, but lacked the time i am very sorry to say, but oh well maybe next time then.
