Hola Enrique.

La verdad es que no he estado en Roma y es una de mis siguientes paradas programadas.

De la foto me gusta el B&W que le da un toque muy poco habitual.

Un saludo, Oscar

Great and beautiful lights, beautiful joke, compliments, good choice of the B&W, the image is more dramatic, well done.

Es muy cierto eso que comentas en la nota de que si alguien tenia este vista hace cientos de años atras... no corria con la mejor suerte. Lo cierto es que los tiempos han cambiado para nuestro bien ... para poder disfrutar de estos puntos de vistas y estas combinaciones de regalos de la naturaleza con joyas de la arquitectura romana. Me encantan los detalles de la foto y creo que el B&W en este caso es una muy buena eleccion.
Saludos

Hola Enrique,
Buena composición de luz y sombras. Los rayos de luz que penetran por los ventanales son espectaculares, y el balance en B/N le queda muy bien a la imagen.
El contraste entre los milenarios muros y el cielo sobreexpuesto es muy bueno y le da mucho dramatismo a la foto.
Buen trabajo.
Un cordial saludo, amigo,
Josep

Very good exposure control, taking the ray of lights and also details across the dynamic range...Really nice and lots of details...I remember being there, the size and the texture of the archades and the feeling of history...
Very good!
Chen
PS - B&W in place!!

Ghostly stuff Enrtique. Your command of light here is, well, fantastic. The way the light highlites parts of the colloseum, while others lie in shadows, creates a fantastic sort of tonality here.

mate! that's awesome ... i've always loved shots that capture sunlight. the black and white is really nice with the repetition and i think the contrast works well.

you're right, that our view of it now is vastly different to the hedonistic rituals that used to be carried out here. if you stood in the middle, it was probably bad news! :)

awesome shot.

Hi Enrique,
You play very well with the light on this image.
Good Composition too.
And you did weel by choosing the B&W for this one.
I only think that maybe I prefer the image with a little bit more contrast.
Regards
Have a nice weekend.

Hola Enrique.
Es cierto que la foto podría tener más definición, pero prefiero que no sea así. Eso y la luz crean una atmósfera única.
El blanco y negro es desde luego la mejor opción posible.

Gracias por la foto.

I've got to tell you, Enrique...I'm nuts about Rome, and I must admit - this is one of the coolest blackandwhithes I've seen about Rome.
Amazing game of lights and shadows.
I guess quite difficult task to conquer.

Hola Enrique, me gusta mucho tu photo!
Its obvious that even being in ruins it is one of the most astonishing buildings in the world.
Your POV is great, I like it in B&W and the contrast is just fine
Um abraço, Sérgio

I have taken a roll or two of film of this marvellous building. But your shot you have capture a shot out of the ordinary and with such atmosphere.

Hi Enrique, the high contrast approach leads to an almost graphic representation of the Colliseum. Strong composition too to catch the rays of sunlight on the intersection of thirds. And the grain gives an added grittiness and bite to the contrast. Well seen and well executed (no pun intended :-) ). Stephen
