Up to the castle Photo

Photographer’s Note

Just to see how is a tipical alley of the old part of the village of Lerici: narrow, steep and with steps (so is even in almost every village of the coast here, that i have visited).
Note the gray stones on the façade on the right side: these are not real stones but paintings.
This is tipical of Lerici: not only very strong and different colors but often the friezes of the houses (p.s. columns, mullioned windows etc) are only painted, not real.

Nice view, Giorgio, and very informative note. Good composition, even though I'd prabably prefere to crop out some spece in the bottom.

Thanks,
Marek

Very accurate coloring to the point and a nice rose dominating colortone. What a details in texturing of the differant stones and wall and natural greens leading to more fine details in the background still nicely balanced by the starting curved road bringing us deep in to your shot.
Perfect colors and compo, a lot to see in a balancd way.
Very well done Girgio

I like this kind of medieval flavor. The narrow roads, the ancient stone walls, its all very beautoful. I wouldnt crop the bottom. Following the road with our eyes, from bottom to top, the long road gives an impression that we too are walking up towards the summit.

Hello Giorgio,
I like the angle of view and the nice enquadrement you did to this path to the castle. Good colors, contrast and a capture of many details.

Very well done and composed!
Best Regards
Fernando

Hi Giorgio; another nice view of Lerici. The focus on the stairs, rather than the castle itself, makes this composition very interesting and original, and the colors are warmly agreeable.

Le tue foto mi hanno convinto, sto pianificando un bel weekend a Lerici!! Non è poi così lontano da Torino.
Ciao, a presto.

Hi Giorgio! A fine POV that takes one up the walkway to the castle. I love these hidden little corners of the world which few people portray. Cropping would perhaps enhance, but this way the drama and interest of wanting to take the brick walk upward is stronger; so either approach has merit. Clear and crisp rendering and the figures in the distance add just the right touch. Well done.

This looks a nice walk to the castle, although probably not easy. These old streets look very well preserved and all the colors and textures are very appealing.

The POV is nice although I think that if you have shown more of the building at the right it could be even nicer, because with the few details seen they become a bit distracting. Besides, they look interesting and make me curious to see more… :-)

Very nice exposure and tones.

Salut Giorgio cette photo est très bien composée ce chemin rose qui aboutit à une façade elle-même rose c'est bien trouvé. Mais je pense que la première marche pourrait, éventuellement, être supprimée.
