Walking nearby the old harbor of Lussino Grande ("Big Lussino") my attention was attracted from the ingres of this one house, at the end of a sort of - 10meters long - dark tunnel.
The colors was so vivid and, above all, the geometry was so interesting that at the first moment i havn't noted the dog quietly sleeping before the door.
My presence have provoked a brusque waking up of the good guard... not too dangerous, i believe!
sorry doggy! ;-D))

Great view; very good composition, I would just have cropped out th eupper brown part, although it is a good selfframing aspect.
Funny woke-up dog!
Thanks Giorgio

Hi Giorgio, nice pic, with beauty color and a nice POV, i like it so much,what a coincidence that is the number of my house
hugs from portugal manuel matos

ECCELLENTE!! una bellissima immagine Giorgio, ottima l'idea di "relegare l'attore principale" della foto nell' angolo a destra per dar spazio alle linee ed ale forme di questa coloratissima casa (vera protagonista della composizione), un ottimo lavoro, complimenti e buona domenica!!
ciao, Fabio.

Hi Giorgio,

nice lines. Strong verticals, horizontals and diagonals..infact all the lines here are straight. In a way this is very graphical even though it isnt. The colors are great too, very well saturated.

Hi Giorgio,
This is perfectly guardian, but he is very well-behaved, the diagonal lines to the stair together with the different colours make your picture very attractive.
Thanks a lot.

Hi Giorgio,
I love the play of light and shadow in this shot and the vivid colours. But most of all, as your note says, the geometric design draws the eye. The large format really brings this shot alive - and the dog is a bonus. Well seen, Giorgio. This is very appealing. Regards.

Serwus Giorgio !
Colors and lines are really outstanding here. Funny, lazy scene and the pose of the dog with these colorful "belts" on his head. It is obvious, You interrupted his/her Siesta.
Very well spotted, Giorgio, and good time of shooting.
Have a nice week,
Mat

Hi Giorgio
Nice composition with graphism and beautifull colors
I like the touch of life with the dog

Hi Giorgio,
I like this composition with the stair in diagonal and the superb color. the dog give some life to this architecture. Great Shot.
Luc

Very very nice. You're right about the geometry, but also the light and shadows and colours are amazing. So strong and vibrant. I especially like the 'tende' hanging from the door like a rainbow, and resting on the dogs face.
Bravo.

Good evening Giorgio!
Very well composed and captured scenery. Excellent "portrait" of the dog. Super pastel colors, good contrast between dark frame of the doors and warm color of the wall. Beautiful shot. Congratulations
best regards

Hey, this is one great composition! Amazing, and the shadows work perfectly. I imagine this (views like this one) is why modern architecture was created ;).
The dog sits so nicely there!
One of my favorite photos on TE so far.
