[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
On our little vacation in Rome a visit at the "Petersdom" couldn´t miss. So we went there, though the weather wasn´t that nice. While my family was queueing to get onto the dome I took some pictures. That is the one I like best. You can see the top of the dome in the background and some drops of a spring in the foreground. I put it in b/w and made a frame in the photoshop, but actually there wasn´t much to edit.

I hope you like it and can give me some good hints,
Jonas

Hello Jonas,
This is a great photograph you have taken here. The textures of the drips of water gives the picture a whole new way of looking at the view. Well thought of.
Regards from Iraq

hey lane

super bild gefaellt mir saugut. die tropfen schoen scharf und der dom leicht unscharf ... macht sich richtig gut. haette ich gar nicht gedacht dass die lumix diesen schaerfenwechsel hinbekommen ... aber mit zoom bzw. genuegend distanz geht es wohl auch ! super

Hi Jonas,

Different and Great job!

Hi jonas
geiles Bild wie schon gesagt at es etwas künstlerisches sehr gut wie du das hauptgebäude unscharf lassen lässt indem du hauptsache den schnee fokusierst
gute arbeit
Toba

hello, I like the compo but I think that it would have been better with a higher focus on droplets. Nice image. Geraldine

Hi Jonas,

from your portfolio I see you are very young but your gallery is on most high level. I can hardly imagine your skills in a few years. :) You are really talented and with eyes for beautiful details and great compositions. I like this one specially cause it shows us the dome in a different way, through your eyes and it is an excellent view. Great relationship between detail of waterdrops and blury main motive. Excellent, there is nothing more to add.

Kind regards,
Jeri

Hello Jonas,
The mood is well captured!
Black and white fits the situation well, and the scenery is presented in a well balanced composition!
Greetings,

:-) OK-

Hi Jonas,
wieder mal ein echt herrvorragendes Bild, mir gefällt vor allem die Idee mit dem Schwarzweiß sehr gut. Schade, dass du schlechtes Wetter während deinem Urlaub hattest, aber hast ja das Beste draus gemacht :-)

Mark

Bonjour Jonas,
la technique est au rendez-vous tout autant que l'originalité ici. Un endroit qui pourrait paraitre banal sous une prise de vue classique.
Bien vu et fantastique instanténé précis.
Regards.
Daniel.

ciao Jonas,
the Fountains of Saint Peter Square , are source of great photographic ideas. much beautiful this with the out of focus dome. I have published one also but towards the statues.
good job
Giorgio

Excellent photo, the blurred church in the BG, the water drops, the b&w approach. Creative framing.

TFS,

Andreea

Hello Jonas
A very creative work indeed. You have a very good photographic eye Jonas & this is once again a proof of it. The B&W is perfect for the shot. The drops of water creates a superb impact. Is this shot through a glass? What is the dark curve on the top left..part of a fountain? Possibly you could have added a wider view in the WS to make us understand better & admire more, this picture.
Regards
Angshu

Hi Jonas,
Good DOF effect, right on spot. Very artisitic presentation.
Good work

Bellissima foto, complimenti!!!
mi piacciono tantissimo le gocce in primo piano!
comunque avrei lasciato i colori per mettere in maggior evidenza le gocce e i riflessi di luce su di queste!
in ogni caso ancora complimenti!
saluti , michela

Hello Jonas,

Magnifique reflet, ils sont rares, en noir et blanc, mais l'idée est bonne.
Bon dimanche
Marie

Hi Jonas,
That's quite an artistic photo!
Good idea to turn it to B&W when the weather was bad. I also like the DOF, the sharpness, the POV and the composition
TFS!
Cheers,
Marci

Hi Jonas,
I see that you use time while waiting for "clasic" photo :)
I like that your picture has nice atmosphere of rainy day in Roma and drops makes great effect.
Best regards,
Stanislav

Hallo Jonas!
B&W war glaube ich eine gute Wahl hier und mir gefällt das Ergebnis.Das Bild hat etwas symbolisches für mich:siieht aus wie eine schwarze Sonne die auf die Kirche regnet.
Gut gesehen,und sehr gut realisiert.
Gruß,Leo

Hallo Jonas
This is a cool shot, so original. The black and white works well and the bokeh effect of the background is superb. Well done.
Best wishes
Mark

An original view, very artistically done. I like this, it changes from the beautiful but so classic views of this place. Excellent choice of b/w to emphasize the drops, the light, the mood. Good work!

Jonas,

Superb photo and an excellent composition and unique POV so unlike many of the tradtional shots of the Vatican (including some I have taken!). You have a very good eye for a shot, something I don't quite have myself! Very good work, as are the rest of your photo's.

Thanks for sharing.

Richard
