Hello George,
An excellent point of view on this beautiful town hall with the yellow paving stones taking us straight to it. The image has a nice summery atmopshere with pleasing colours and good sharpness. Just a pity about the crane coming in on the left; a good candidate for cloning?

npecanhuk (14798) 2009-05-26 2:36

Hello George!
Despite that crane on the top left corner of the image, this picture pleases me a lot! Once more, for its excellent sharpness, exposure, colors, depth of field, a very well chosen pov and the finest composition! People added beauty and made it livelier ! Those tiny "water fountains" are very interesting and were perfectly placed in the frame!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Ciao George,
bellissima immagine di questa chiesa.
La scelta del formato verticale con l'inserimento del piccolo vialetto, conferisce un buon DOF.

Belli i colori e la gestione della luce.

Non mi piace invece la gru che si vede alla sinistra della foto.

Ti ho fato un WS dove l'ho eliminata.

Mi dici cosa ne pensi?
Francesco

Hello Goerge,
very nice the perspective,the POV and the placement of the town hall,in the frame.I like the long 'corridor with the little fountains 'on it, that creates depth in the scene as the perfect colours and the brilliant light of the shot.Well done.

Have a nice afternoon,Danos

hi george

Lovely view of the town hall. Very well presented.

Very interesting style of composition although I would choose for my own taste to have the yellow path leading from bottom left corner. But I like your vertical format with sharp detail.

Good work.

tfs, bill

Hi George,
Great impression from this town. Good vertical composition and excellent use of the fountain in the foreground, that leads the eye so nicely towards the town hall. The light is also attractive. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Angshu (34157) 2009-05-28 22:55

Dear Greorge
I like the idea of creating the perspective with the yellow maker here & the smal, fountains leading us to the magnificent architecture of the Town Hall. Wonderful contrast between the red tiles & the blue sky. Good work!
Regards
Angshu

jemaflor (39759) 2009-06-03 10:58

Hi George,
Good depth with this foreground, interesting architecture with nice colors, well taken.

fanni (8917) 2009-06-06 2:37

Hello George,
the Town Hall looks very beautiful and impressive - especially from this interesting POV - I like it that you included in the photo a line of small fountains which leads the eyes directly to the Town Hall!
Excellent composition and very pleasant rich colours :)
Concerning the construction crane on the left - I would clone it out... (just as it was done in the WS version)
Wishing you a nice weekend,
best regards,
Elena

pastadog (12821) 2009-06-06 2:44

I like how you used that line on the floor to give depth and lead the eye
