[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Cathedral of Milan is the largest and most impressive example of late Gothic architecture in Italy and the second largest Catholic cathedral in the world. Designed to seat 40 000, the duomo took several centuries to complete, but the style in which it was intended to be built in was never abandoned.
The Duomo of Milan blurs the normal distinctions between Gothic and neo-Gothic, for the Gothic west front was begun in 1616 and completed 200 years later. Only in its details does it reveal its Baroque and Neo-Classical date. From 1900 some of the least Gothic details of the facade were replaced in a more Gothic style to designs of Giuseppe Brentano.

Hola Christian,
Muy buena perspectiva desde lo alto de esta bonita plaza en la que los viandantes parecen hormigas. Estupendos colores y detalles.
Cordialmente
Charo

Ciao Christian,
bellissima la vista della piazza da un punto privilegiato.
interessante scena con le persone a spasso per la piazza.
ottimo lavoro con luce e colori perfetti.

Hi Christian,
I love this POV. I like the facades fronting the piazza and the miniature people. The cars in the back are all white ... perhaps taxis. Photo gives good sense of size & scale. Regards. Latiff.

Hi Chirstian,

you found an interesting angle to catch this square. I like to see the people as little ants. They bring dynamism and fill que image nicely. Very good details and natural lighting. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

Bonjour,
Belle vue d'ensemble d'une place que je fréquente régulièrement.
Bonne journée.

Hi Chris,

an unusual view of Milan's main square, very effective from this POV, giving the right scale. Maybe sharpness is a little low.

Hey Christian,
A very interesting aerial shot of this square. The people look almost like ants which gives us an excellent idea of the size of the buildings. Technically speaking, your shot is flawless. Congratulations!!!
Greetings,
Natasha

Hola Christian,

Me gusta mucho las figuras en el piso de la plaza. Parece un lugar muy bonito y popular. Las ciudades antiguas de Europa realmente tienen mucho caracter y belleza arquitectonica. Tu punto de vista es muy efectivo para mostrarnos una vista amplia de este lugar.

Roberto

Hi Chris,
Wonderful architecture, looks so enormous. I like how the people look insignificant in comparison.

Shaeri

Nice tight crop, the white fleet of (taxis?) is also unusual because they make the traffic also appear photogenic.

Hi Christian, very good high POV, but the shot needs some tempting with. I would suggest some exposure increasing to start with, some sharpening and a general point of interest positioned to the proper side (1/3 of the frame)
Generally a good picture.

Hi Christian,
great POV combined with a fantastic composition. The people crossing this place give your shot a vivid note. Excellent natural colours as well

ciao!
Valeria

Ciao Christina!
che bella questa immagine della piazza vista dall'alto! I disegni sul selciato e i passanti creano dei bei motivi, d i palzzi chiudono bene la scena sullo sfondo.
Ciao!!!
