Ciao Paolo,

A postcard that presume carefully composed image, with idealistic light and set-up.

The different towers from Santa Maria church are very eye-catcher, with their different shapes and features. All these buildings in full warm tones stand out from the blue background. Sunny and inviting.

Greetings,

André

Hi Paolo
Impressive church on the beach. Great colours and light.
Have a nice day.

A fine setting in the little underexposure of this village, church and beach Paolo. Good use of the format, incredible beach life to be in february.

Bonjour Paolo
Elle est bien jolie ta carte postale avec cette superbe église bien éclairée et la plage avec les gens qui prennent le soleil. C'est un avant-goût de vacances.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hi Paolo,
This definitely has a postcard look to it....it's a postcard I would buy to send home to friends to emphasise the absolute beauty of this location. Colours of buildings and lighting add such an attractive result. Very well done.

Hi Paolo,
fantastic light and colours. An excellent composition and what a great place.
Regards, Gerrit

Oh to live in warmer climes like here, sitting on the beach in February. I walk on our beach at least twice a week with 4 layers of clothing, wooly hat, scarf and thermal gloves! So spare me a thought next time you bathe in the sea ;D
It looks like it may be the last rays of sun casting its golden glow on the church walls. The reflections are also an important part of the image.
Any reason apart from forgetfulness for the ISO 1600?
Kath

Bonsoir Paolo
superbe photo et belle lumière qui vient mettre en valeur ces façades et cette architecture. j'aime beaucoup. Bravo.
Xavier

Yes really a picture postcard from you tonight Paolo, the light and colours are excellent i wonder why you choose ISO 1600, Have anice weekend.

Paolo,
Excellent post card from Italy! Your composition is great using the beach to lead the eye into the photo. The curve of the shoreline gives the shot nice direction. The well lit church stands out against the shadowed foreground creating nice contrast. The lighting and colors are great as is the sharpness and DOF.
TFS,
Asa

Una bellissima cartolina direi per questo caratteristico paesino ligure Paolo , bei colori , con tutta quella gente che approfitta della bella giornata fuori stagione per prendere un po di sole , complimenti.

Ciao Paolo,
cartolina veramente bellissima, in perfetta linea coi canoni del sito che ci ospita e che mi fá venire voglia di viaggiare e visitare posti magnifici come questo.
Volevo chiederti riguardo all'ISO, ma poi ho notato che a qualcuno hai giá risposto in completa sinceritá (:D. Comunque tranquillo, succede anche al sottoscritto, che seppur completamente astemio, si dimentica spesso e volentieri di rimettere a posto i vari settaggi.
Complimenti e buona domenica!

Ciao Paolo,

è una vera e propria cartolina, rappresenta benissimo la bellezza di questo borgo ligure ottima luce e bel colore riflesso sull'acqua.

Bravissimo come sempre!

Ciao Paolo

This is a real dream postcard with beautiful hues and a pleasant atmosphere. Interestingly, the proximity of the buildings next to the sea.

Good management of enlightenment and appropriate balance in the frame.
