Bonjour Benedict,
très belle vue de ce bord de mer .
Bonne netteté , seul regret le cardrage horizontal . Le cadrage vertical aurait été plus judicieux .
Bien peu de choses a reprocher .

Great lighting, and a great exposure too! I like that winding road that leads us right into the scene. Excellent work!

Hi Benedict.

I am a sucker for the winding road .. along with the ocean, the cliff, and the village it is a tremendous composition. Love those clouds as well .. stunning and beautiful place .. wish the near cliff and homes were sharper .. but beautiful ..

take care,

John

A very good well composed capture Benedict of this hillside region. I like the colours that are there all around fro rocks to the sand to the sea and the architecture. The lights are controlled. Great pov and perspective, almost panoramic.

Hi Benedict!
It is the third picture from Tropea posted this month...and your version is probably the best of them! Your lateral POV is different from the two others, it includes the road and the sea, hence showing the whole natural site of the town...great depth, nice lighting, good composition!

Hi Benedict,

Nice romantic shot of that Italian beach. I like the way the road creates the perspective and draws the eyes towards the backgroung. Very good light and warm colours as well. Nobody on the beach?!...Interesting note too.
Nice job!
Quentin.

Excellent sharpness and good composition but why did you spoil it by giving the title on the top of the border?!

belido (16935) 2008-05-15 7:18

Hi Ben,

I saw this at today's front page. It's such a beautiful coastline. Even shooting in the shadow you bring great details and luminosity. The scan process was well done...I can't see it was shot with film. I like this!
TC,

Hello Benedict
A very well seen composition with good exposure in the shaded Fg. The sunlight on the bg subject is tremendous.
