Photographer’s Note
Piran (Italian Pirano) is a town and municipality in southwestern Slovenia on the Adriatic coast along the Piran Bay. The municipality has 16,758 (2002) inhabitants and covers a 46.6 km˛ area. The town has 4,576 (2002) inhabitants on an 1 km˛ area. The municipality is bilingual, both Slovenian and Italian are official languages. It borders on the south with Croatia, on the north (on the sea) with Italy and on the east with the municipalities of Izola and Koper.
Piran is probably the most beautiful of Slovenia's coastal towns, perched on a tiny piece of land jutting into the sea. It feels more like an coastal town, without all the Italian tourists, and for good reason: Piran was part of the Venetian empire from the late 13th century to the end of the 18th century.
Piran is the birthplace of composer and violinist Giuseppe Tartini (born April 8, 1692)(an mine:))), who played an important role in shaping its cultural heritage. The town's main square, Tartinijev trg (Piazza Tartini), is named after him.

Hi Miuky, good picture with an excellent description of this city that is piran. I also appreciate your technically attempt to merge 3 pictures in BW, original framing (in curve), giving a wider impression.
Nice mood there ! :)
Good

Hi Miuky, very usually capture with the curve you introduce. The image is soft but scene is interesting. Well done.

Zdravo M!
Vidim,da se bom moral navadit tvojega bolj plastičnega stila.No,pa saj tako je tudi prav.
Tu na TE je kar nekaj fotografov,ki imajo svoj stil in se ga držijo.Po njem so razpoznavni.
Njihove slike takoj prepoznaš,preden si prebral ime.
Vem da panoramski program naredi tako ovalno obliko in če potem ne kropaš ostane taka sodčkasta.Odlična ideja.Všeč mi je inverse fish eye fotografija.Dobra svetloba in kontrasti.
Pozdrav!
