Very nice POV Fred. The sky, water add a soft touch of blue with white Puffy clouds.
The architectural details of this fortress are incredible.
Great capture taken with sharp focus.

slightly tourist type of shot and nothing wrong in that,do wonder where you were in relation to this place as this would have been better had you been at the same level rather than above,think that would have made for a much stronger image..Brian

This is an interesting structure. It looks as if the fortress covers the entire island and could only be reached by boats or ships. The photo has a nice POV, realistic colors, is focused and has good depth. The diagonal position of the fortress is interesting. The fortress is well placed into the frame. The co0mposition is balanced. I also appreciate the interesting historic information in your comments.

This is beautiful shot of the
St. Nicholas Fortress! Fine iece of photography. The clarity of the image is good. The distant hills hills, the fortress in the middle of water in the foreground make it a well composed shot. Well done.!

An interesting island fortress with a long and well researched history. I like this composition the shows the way the island was reformed for its presumed military purpose.

What a fantastic story and well written notes to explain this imposing historic piece of architecture in the mode of a fortress. The photo is very clear and nicely balanced the angle I like in that we appear to be higher looking down so getting the full impact of its defence and grandeur in an age of battles and defences (has time really changed?). It is an imposing shot with good use of light to capture the sky blues and water reflections which make an excelkent frame around the fortress.

That is one big moat! The fortress in the middle of the river would indeed present a powerful message. Nice shot showing the structure and its surrounds. Good focus and color. Well captured.

Quite a nice historic landscape scene presented here! Your fine and classical composition provides us with a good look at that old fort. Sharpness and exposure are good. Nicely done!

Interesting bit of history and amazing how things like this were built many years ago.
Are you on a cruise passing by?
Good natural colouring and lighting. Nice horizon and perspective, great capture. Thanks for sharing!
