Hi Costantino.
A nice and quite successful treatment here with the central motive in colour and the surrounding in B&W. Fine composition with those beautiful arches!
Regards
Gunnar

Hi, Costantino,
An interesting note, yes, the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.But Today somebody changes all wonders of the world. By the way, this is an interesting shot, good perspective. Nice POV.

Hallo Costantino!
A great perspective indeed!
You managed the difficult light very well here. I like very much that there's still life in these well kept old and venerable walls.
Greetings from autumnal cool Germany!

Bell'effetto grafico di queste arcate che si ripetono. Buona profondità di campo. Peccato per gli scooter che rovinano un po' la foto.
Buona giornata,
Donato

ela costantino... i have a very similar shot in my gallery, taken from the same point more than a year ago, have you seen it?... i like this place a lot, in fact the rhodes town is so fascinating in general...
a nice shot that is, if only it could have been a bit more sharper...

Γεια σου Κωσταντίνε
Ωραία φωτογραφία με την επανάληψη των αψίδων και την που προοπτική χάνεται στο βάθος.
Ο κόσμος που περπατά γεμίζει με ζωή τη σκηνή.
Ωραία χρώματα και σύνθεση.
Καλημέρα Βασίλης.

intéressant et original ce traitement de l'image avec ce dégradé de noir et blanc vers la couleur, ça convient parfaitement à la composition avec cette perspective graphique de répétition des arches

Ciao Costantino,
bella e ben riuscita questa elaborazione dove rendi l'immagine, parzialmente a colori e parzialmente in bianco e nero.
Ottima anche l'architettura che presenta un bel grafismo, dove tu hai saputo dare grazie al POV ben scelto, una notevole profondità di campo.

Gli scooters e le persone al transito, danno dinamicità e movimento alla scena.

Ben fatto my friend!

hello Constantino,
I quite like how you have composed the photo, the repetitive patterns of arches and converging lines create a strong perspective. I'm not a great fan of partial desaturation, but here it works quite well. but something seems to be off with the focus, the photo lacks clarity a little.

regards,
Kristine

Ciao Costantino,
una bella immagine quasi monocromatica, dotata di una buona profondità, arricchita dalla presenza umanna e vivacizzata dai colori dei loro vestiti.
Un caro saluto

Ciao caro Costantino,
bellissimo effetto di profondità dato da questa fila di archi concentrici. Ottima l'idea di desaturare il primo piano e dare colore solamente alla parte centrale dell'immagine. Un esperimento molto ben riuscito, bravissimo!
Ciao e buon w.e.
Paolo

hi Costantino

Impressive POV of showing the symmetry of the arch structure from this angle and the desat pp work is interesting to highlight the group of people and the end portion of the arches. Perhaps you can do a bit of sharpening for compression loss?

tfs, bill

Ciao Costantino,
