Hello Roberto,

A first rate image of the lantern, and the gilded ball sitting atop the great structure. Although the photograph is beautiful, I think I would have rotated the image a few degrees counterclockwise, although there is abstract beauty in this version also. The light is superb, the quality of your photograph is sensational. Thank you for sharing this image with us. Although I did not have quite the light you did, I did produce an image from where the crowd is standing, View from the Top. I will keep my eyes on your superb gallery from one of my favorite cities in the world. Warm regards,

Bulent

Ciao Roberto,
You have chosen a pov, that is oftenly omittet by dome "hikers" - most visitors look down and seldom turn their lenses up to this magnificent view. You were lucky to capture the ball and the terrace in excellent light and thus obtain perfect colors.
Best wishes,
Anton
