Photographer’s Note

Hey you
Out there in the cold
Get-ting lone-ly
get-ting old
Can you feel me?

Hey you
Stan-ding in the aisle
With itchy feet and fad-ing smile
Can you feel me?
Hey you
Don't help them to bu-ry the light.
Don't give in wi-thout a fight.
Hey you
Out there on your own
Sit-ting na-ked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you
With your ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you
Would you help me to car-ry-. the stone?
Open your heart
I'm com-ing home.
But it was on-ly fan-ta-sy.
The wall was too high
as you can see.
No matter how he_tried he could not break free.
And the worms ate in-to his brain.
Hey you
Out there on the road
Al-ways do-ing what you're told
Can you help me?
Hey you
Out there beyond the wall
Brea-king bot-tles in the hall
Can you help me?
Hey you
Don't tell me there's no hope at all.
Toge-ther we stand
di-vi-ded we fall.
we fall.

Hand held at night? Wow, you should be a surgeon with tjose steady hands! The whole background and this statue are beautiful. Florence was amazing when I was there, I saw this statue too.

Hello Paolo,
Belle prise nocturne, magnifique œuvre d’art !
J’aime beaucoup les teintes douces qui composent ton image
Par contre, la qualité est pas terrible !
Mauvais scan ? ? ?
Merci pour le partage
Beau travail
Amicalement
Sébastien

Hi Paolo,
A really beautiful shot with the right POV and perfect amount of light to project the statue. The steady hand is to be commended for the nice details and clarity. Congratulations!!! Have a nice day.

Great shot of the Master of Piazza della signoria.

Ciao Paolo !
A very good result for using no tripod !
I like the composition, and the fountain seems to be quite interesting. A longuer exposure, with a tripod :o), could help you bring out all the details !! And the sky will have that typical deep blue tones (and less noise).

Cheers,
Youssef.

Great shot of this statue P. The night shot is well done where the deep blue sky is an excellent background for the main subject. Well disposed compo, great details.

Ciao Paolo,
I love the light here, it helps very well the statue stand out, shot atmosphere is quite mysterious, though I'm not at all a specialist I think it reminds me italian paintings of the late middle age that were quite dark with subtle light as here.
Have a nice week end,
Jean-Yves
