Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument Photo

Photographer’s Note

It was taken in downtown, Cleveland, in a sunny day.
I tried to capture it from a different point. It seemed to have an interesting contrast with the building back. old and new..

Sevgili Muratcım, bir önceki fotografından söylediğim aynı şeyler geçerli , hatta yukarı doğru giden perspektif distorsyonu gözü rahatsız etmeyi bırak tatlı bir dinamik katmış resme. Çok hoş.Sevgiler.
