Photographer’s Note
The old well and a local hurrying to catch the Sunday morning mass...
A moment caught in the centre of the tiny village of Monteriggioni - a veritable time capsule with 60-odd inhabitants, surrounded by medieval walls.
Unlike many other fortified settlements in Tuscany, this village has the extra special feature that outside its walls, one doesn't find any modern expansion... it just sits on top of a hill as an opportunity for time travel.

Hi again.
Nice detail. I think maybe it's a little out of focus, but it's not much, and I like the idea. Nice composition.
Regards, Fredrik.

Levente, viewed from my part, I'm not too sure you took all the advantage of this scene.
Firstly if I share your love for Tuscany, I don't see here what color brings to the scene which is mostly a play of shapes, as I see it.
I would propose some reframing, and most of all putting into a nice BW version that would enhance the play of geometry and contrast. You said time capsule, why then not encapsulated it in time with a warm BW tone. see my WS....
Edit later on: ok no WS allowed on your photo.. then no WS it will be. :)
