February 2025 - Sunset in Annecy
About the Image(s)
My image was taken in Annecy, France in 2012. Annecy is one of the loveliest villages in France just before you enter Italy in the Alps. We have actually stopped twice in this town for a day or night. It has some canals running through it, abuts Lake Annecy with mountains around it and has some really beautiful old buildings in it. Taken at ISO 400 at f 5/6 at 1/160 seconds with my Canon 7D.

Shirley, your image makes me want to go to France again. I haven't been to that village, but saw some small villages on my Smithsonian trip to France many years ago. All my pictures are on slide film:-(. I like the way the buildings curve around the bridge taking us through the picture. It certainly is a travel image. If you want to use it for PID, I would remove the plant on the lower left corner and the plant on the bottom edge. Well done!   Posted: 02/20/2025 12:22:43
Thanks, Judy. I don't know how this would do in PID but maybe I should try sometime.   Posted: 02/23/2025 22:51:49
Shirley, that is a very inviting and colorful travel image. Small towns like that in Europe fascinate me. What I am wanting to see, the way you have framed the picture, is what is at the left end of the bridge. After looking at he beautiful buildings, my eye is drawn to the left end, wanting to see where it ends. Nice job.   Posted: 02/22/2025 09:52:08
A very nice scene. Conveys the sense of being there. I also like how the pink in the building facade is echoed in the sky.   Posted: 02/23/2025 10:38:18

This shows us a very appealing village in France. The mountain and the lovely clouds add to the appeal. The bridge is welcoming me to cross over to see the other side.
Definitely a travel image!   Posted: 02/24/2025 22:53:58

This is such an atmospheric scene, I could just imagine myself sitting under one of those maroon canopies enjoying a glass of wine with cheese and meats! Like Sukumar, I agree the colour of the buildings and in the clouds help link the picture content very well.   Posted: 02/25/2025 05:31:42
Great image of the town and the buildings there. The buildings are very artsy of the area.   Posted: 02/25/2025 14:15:42
