This is a different view of the Piazza of Trevi in Rome where the very famous Fountain is. In this case the 'stars' are not the statues or the fountain itself, the real 'star' of the picture is the people, the not very big piazza packed with people visiting one of the most beautiful fountains of the world. It is a diferent view of this worldwide known monument but not so very known place where the fountain is.
The fountain was built by the architect Salvi (1735) in the time of Clement XII, and decorated by several artists of Bernini's school. It is the front of a large palace (Palazzo Poli) decorated with statues and bas-reliefs on heaps of rocks.
The fountain is not only celebrated for its excellent water but for the legend that whoever drinks it or throws a coin in the fountain, will assure his return to Rome.
The fountain is so big that it occupies a big part of the square.

The warm colors are emphasized in order to stress a lovely atmosphere.

I hope you like it.

I really like the atmosphere and the light in this photo. The note goes well with the warm tones of the photo. I'm amused by the number of cameras I see in the hands.
I'm a fan of tight crops and since the very top of the beautiful church is already cut off I would suggest cropping it a little tighter at the top.

Pablo, nice composition. But I think the colors are a bit warm and oversaturated. I tried a workshop which color corrects some of it but tries to stay warm. I hope you fiund it useful.

Hola, Pablo. Hermosa y original foto que muestra la otra parte de lo que habitualmente se fotografía, pero que es una parte tambien existente. Cuando estuve en Roma tambien visité esta fuente y eché una monedita. Ahora estoy deseando que se cumpla el retorno a Roma.

Regards Ian

Hola Pablo ya te echábamos de menos por aquí…
Aquí nos muestras una original perspectiva de esta famosa Fontana di Trevi, como veo eres fiel a tus colores rojizos para así crearles una atmósfera muy personal, si tengo que ser sincero y no me pegues ni me eches piedras…lo veo demasiado rojizo para mi gusto, tu te sueles inclinar por colores rojizos y yo muchas veces lo hago por los azules en mis paisajes. La fotografía suele ser algo personal en la que a veces exteriorizamos parte de nosotros en ellas, por ello siempre es bonito ver el trabajo de los demás, como en este caso el tuyo.
Resumiendo, una buena foto Pablo con tu firma personal :p
Buen trabajo y buen resultado
Well done
Saludos amigo

Aaaah Pablo! This is the love for life!! Beautifull and what you say with the warm colors, it is true, it makes everything more relax...:) Well done amigo!
Saludos,

Ramon

Pablo,
A great POV, moment and composition. I think you pulled the saturation bar a bit hard though.

Very nice shot. I like the atmosphere and the lovely warm colours!
Very well done!

Great atmosphere. All that sun burned people. It must have been a hot summer day. Maybe even a little to warm.

Muy buena perspectiva y composición! Esta foto tiene una disposición muy alegre y la combinación de los colores son fantasticos.
Muy buen dicho también!

Interesting point of view. I like this shot very much. The warm colors and the mood here are great. The only thing, I don't like are the two men on the down-left corner. Great job Pablo!

A truly warm and beautiful photo my friend. I share your feeling that in such places the most interesting theme is the people. Thanks for your beautiful note.

Good to see a different view of the piazza around the fountain. The church has been framed just right by the two more modern buildings either side

Hola Pablo, me ha gustado ver esta vista de la Piazza, no tan conocida como la Fontana, evidentemente. Hace casi 20 años estuve aquí, en excursión de fin de curso, y ya no recordaba lo cerca que están las casas, una lástima para poder ver mejor a la pared-fuente, que parece encajonada.
Quizás, para mi gusto, veo los colores rojos demasiado saturados.
Recuerdos desde Barcelona.

Me encanta el punto de vista que has elegido, Pablo. Yo sólo he estado en Roma una vez, hace ya casi diez años, pero la verdad es que de la Fontana de Trevi recuerdo exactamente lo que tú muestras: El gentío. Muy agudo por tu parte, has primado lo periodístico sobre lo paisajístico y has dejado un testimonio de nuestro mundo. Enhorabuena.

Salut Pablo.
Très jolie photo avec de superbes tons de couleurs.
Une très bonne perspective et une bonne PDC.
La foule donne un effet supplémentaire, c'est très réussi.
Joli.

Nice sunny photo with good composition. I like all the people on your photo, but I find the colours a bit too much saturated. Apart from that: well done!

Bonsoir Pablo, Une belle image de la place Trevi à Rome. Elle semble avoir de forte dominante rouge, une dominante pas trop dérangeante par ailleur. Merci de nous la partager. Amitié/jr

Oh could it be the place for a scene in the movie "La dolche vita" - a fine sight you captured for us with lots of fine details and life - thanks Pablo.

Hola Pablo. A rich and comprehensive photo from Rome, with a delightful gathering of the summer crowd around the famous fountain. Very nice to see this from a different angle, and within the urban context of the surrounding old buildings. Well done.

Beautiful photo, Pablo; this is really a magic place, as well as Rome, city I really love, because its atmosphere is quite special! And all those people are also usual there, so you captured the reality of this place. Good work!
Saludos desde Portugal!

Buenas Pablo,

bonita foto la que presentas aquí. Me gusta especialmente el arco de personas que se forma alrededor de la fuente y la contraposición de estilos y texturas. Pero creo que los colores de foto están demasiado acentuados. No obstante, buen trabajo.

Saludos!

Sin duda alguna que estos coloares pasteles tierra dan un aire de tranquilidad a la atmosfera, hasta los podes sentir a traves de la foto. Ademas el gentio le da un toque mayor a la misma

saludos
alejandro

The beautiful red colours makes the picture ! Thansk to share it.
