Nikki, great photo. Love the sky and the wolf statue silhuete (my gramother had one in her house).
If you put the camera a bit more higher showing from the feet of the wolf to above, it will looks real.

Thanks
Andre

Hello Nikki,
Well seen and well executed. A beautiful scene that looks also as if the wolf has to defend itself before upcoming danger. Maybe symbolic for the rough times Italy is again going through ?
regards,
Paul

Clementi (42703) 2009-04-01 10:19

Ciao Nikki,
you have captured in this photo, a symbol of my city.I didn't know that there was in Pisa one of it. very beautiful the light and the silhouette and the colors of the sunset.
good job
Giorgio

Good evening Nikki,

Seeing Romulus & Remus i thought for a moment it was a picture from Rome, but also Pisa seems to have a statue about the twins....how interesting. No leaning tower, but a great sky with fantastic colours. Good placement of the statue were the she-wolf has a great pose.

Have a nice evening,

Henk

Belle silhouette suffisemment evocatrice de l'Italie sur un ciel somptueux
Bravo nikki

Salut Nikki,

C'est une belle photo. Le ciel apporte un element dramatique qui renforce la symbolique (disons que c'est un leve de soleil!). On dirait presque que la louve est vivante, et bien protectrice.

Bonne journee, Claude.

Très belle compo Nikki. L'aspect embrasé du ciel donne une vie à cette statue. Superbe.

hi Nikki,
this is one of those "triple WOW" photos, so simple, yet so powerful, full of drama and mystery that fits so well the idea of Ancient Rome. superb work, my compliments.

best,
Kristine

gary91 (15319) 2009-04-01 14:55

Salut Nikki,
Vraiment magnifique celle-ci...
Tu as parfaitement profité de ce ciel superbe et l'angle choisi met remarquablement bien en valeur la louve.
Composition impeccable et grosse ambiance, comme quoi même avec du matériel au rabais, on peut faire des choses bien ;-)
Bonne soirée à toi et bonjour à la petit famille.
Amicalement, Christian

cbrman (18629) 2009-04-01 22:16

Hello Nikki,

Une vu sympa. En voyant la vignette, je me suis demandé comment tu avais pu avoir saisi ce loup au soleil couchant. L'image est très belle et la composition minimaliste rend hommage à cette statue.
Bravo !

A+

Hi Nikki,

Another sunset shot, just what we need on TE... Just kidding, I absolutely LOVE this one! Well seen, beautifully captured. Wonderful silhouette against the dramatic colours in the sky.
I only wonder why they would put up a statue of the founders of Rome in Pisa...?
Superb shot, thanks for sharing!

Best,
Claudia

MiguelP (14290) 2009-04-02 1:59

Extraordinaria foto, Nikki. Roma en estado puro, es casi mitológica. De libro, épica, emocionante, fuerte... Enhorabuena.

Miguel

Hola Nikki.

Un gran trabajo gracias al uso de la luz y la exposición. La composición, con esa silueta y esa profundidad de campo, es también un punto fuerte de la foto.

Carlos.

Nikki
Excellent POV! A première vue, on croit vraiment qu'il s'agit d'un vrai loup au coucher du soleil. Quel ciel en arrière plan!
Amicalement
JJ

ElAprendiz (7370) 2009-04-04 9:44

Hola Nikki:

Una toma con un gran efecto cromático, sin duda. Has establecido una gran composición con la silueta, los tonos fuertes al fondo y el encuadre acertado.

Excelente trabajo. Saludos desde Colombia,

John

SteveH (3847) 2009-04-07 2:40

Hi Nikki, I like the idea of presenting the silouette of the statue in front of this colourful sky. Positioning of the statue within the frame is perfect. Cheers, Steve

ktanska (16353) 2009-04-08 2:11

Hi Nikki,
I didn't know this symbol of Rome could be found in Pisa too. Good angle showing the head of the wolf agains sunset. Well framed. Spectacular colours.

Ola Nikki,
Linda esta tua composição com esta estátua da loba com a sua cria , o céu estava maravilhoso tem bonitos tons de laranja , bom enquadramento da foto, parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

skippy007 (6717) 2009-04-09 23:55

Hello Nikki, I thought Rome at first but you tend to see the female Wolf & her twin cubs elsewhere in Italy. Well positioned in the frame with beautiful warm sunset colours.
Nice capture & well presented.
Regards & Happy Easter

toni_al (15430) 2009-04-11 6:02

Joli coup d'oeil ça ressort super bien.

albertojr (718) 2009-04-16 18:43

Looking from a thumbnail, i thought it was real. the placement of the statue is good and the focus as well, colors are great too. Nice shot, well done.

mjdundee (3462) 2009-04-20 6:20

Hello Nikki,
I have been missing TE somehow - so I came back after 18 months of absence.
Seems to me your photgraphic eye and skills have been developped well since then.
Very nice frame here and with the additon of the two sheep a perfect BG for a wolf.

Salut Nikki,
Incroyable cette photo et impressionnante! Elle me fait vraiment peur cette louve toute noire dans ce ciel de feu.
Bravo, c'est magnifique!
Très bon WE
Amicalement
Diane

donluicu (23877) 2009-06-30 12:23

evidemment, le ciel attire l'oeil, mais la mise en scene est reellement excellente..
bravo a toi...

daddo (11263) 2009-07-11 17:43

Hi Nikki. a brilliant composition, elevating the myth to the heavens and colouring it with the fire of the star. Poetic idea giving the silhouette life and an undeniable presence. regards. Klaudio.
