[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Castello Sforzesco, a stronghold rebuilt 1492-94 for Ludovico Maria Sforza (Ludovico il Moro), the great patron born in the town, who transformed the fortification of Luchino Visconti (who in turn had re-used a Lombard fortress) into a rich noble residence, at the cusp of Gothic and Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci was his guest at Vigevano, and Bramante came to work for him: he finished the famous Tower entitled to him, who had been begun in 1198. The old castle has a unique raised covered road, high enough for horsemen to ride through, that communicates between the new palace and the old fortifications; there is a Falconry, an elegant loggiato supported by 48 columns, and, in the rear area of the mastio, the Ladies' Loggia made for Duchess Beatrice d'Este.

Hi Pawel,
Great perspective and I like the play of light and shadow. The repetitive patterns created are very nice and I like the use of black and white which enhances the great textures.
Regards
Wanda

Fajne, styl bardzo mi odpowiada. Ciekawa diagonalna kompozycja z dobrymi plastycznymi cieniami.
Pozdrawiam!

The perspective is great, the light is a little weird, I don't like that black and white contrast.
I would prefer some grayest tones

Regards
Stelios

Witaj Paweł!
Kolejna ciekawa czarno biała praca.
Lubię tak mocne kontrasty w fotografii B&W.
Podoba mi się ten geometryczny kształt kadru.
Pozdrawiam Paweł.
