Highway to Middle Ages Photo

Photographer’s Note

A panoramic view of the medieval citadel of Volterra.

Here I included in the compo the lower wall because it gives a certain dinamicity to a canonic panoramic view, it follows the shape of the hill while it points to the bell tower like a brik highway, which creates a happy contrast with the medieval contest.

PC elaboration:
-levels
-saturation...(+2\100) :)
-curves

Nice composition. I agree with your choice to include the lower wall, it adds alot to the picture, giving it a defined shape.

Bonjour Valerio,
J'aime bien l'enfilade du mur en premier plan.
Le cadrage est parfait.
Dommage qu'il y ait des traces dans le ciel; peut etre des oiseaux?
A+ Dominique

I agree with you with the value of the inclusion of the wall. It creates a very strong guide cline to our eyes pointing to the very nice tower and surrounding buildings. Also a very good exposure control with many details in the shadow and no trace of overexposure.

This seems to be a very nice place to visit.
