The colors and sharpness here are beautifull. The details on the stone are just breathtaking. Gorgeous capture.

Nice angle. i tend to think the exposure is under as the camera is taking readings primarily from the brightness of the buildings (very similar to photographing snow). You could up the EV a little the next time you encounter a similar situation. No harm trying a few shots next time. Sorry about the points, i ran out of it today. But great stuff.

Very sharp. The coors are hard but beautiful.

this is a good perspective of pisa.
usual impressions are just the leaning tower and a lot of people holding their hands in the air in strange positions along the roadside.
excellent lighting and crisp building detail.
the sky echoes the dome.
great

i like the scale of a capture. looks really magnificent. i think it is due to the fact that you let some people to appear in the foreground. i am not sure about colours, a little bit blueish and dark on sides.

Pisa looks so unreal on this picture... good stuff

A fine way to show the tilt of the tower, it is clearer when there is a reference. The picutre is very well composed with depth and tight framing. Wonderful sky! Very well done!

Surely an unusual composition from this place Paul! The diferent plans you managed to get here with those amazing buildings are really great since it gives a great depth to the picture. Good work!

A fine variant from Pisa where you really brings the eye to the Torres Pendente. Creative and well done Paul

J'aime la vue et le contraste mais j'aurais aimé un peu plus de luminosité

soundsangels (1695) 2004-02-11 7:52

La luminosité reduite donne un coté austère a cette magnifique photo.
Les batiments se prêtent bien à ce genre d`atmosphère...
Vous avez tres bien vu....
Super!

Magnifique vue de Pise, avec un ciel somptueux. La couleur du ciel se calque très bien aux bâtiments. Cadrage qui force encore plus la masse de ceux-ci.

Cette photo me rappelle l'un de mes séjours en Italie et ma visite de Pise. Ce ciel un peu sombre qui contraste avec la clarté des bâtiments donne toute sa beauté à cette vue. Je regrette (mais un tout petit peu) que l'on ne voit pas plus la tour elle-même. Mais j'ai le souvenir que pour cela il aurait fallu se placer au milieu de la rue à droite.;-))

Merci Paul de nous faire partager ces beaux moments.

superb colors in this one. i must say, i'm in awe of Pisa... i still don't know why its tilted!!

pulezan (767) 2004-09-08 6:44

great picture with excellent composition. and again buildings are making good contrast with the dramatic sky. but some details on the left side look too dark.

Beautiful shot of all three structures. The photo is on the bluish side. I do not know what caused it.

Wow that is some really great contrast. I love what the shadows did for the pic. Moreso, I like the clouds being dark as well. If they were any brighter it would take away from the architecture and shadows. Great pic.

rajhema (1867) 2005-09-09 20:50

Crystal clear. Architecure is revealed very well. Little gloomy, but that adds flavor to the picture. As usual another masterpiece paul.
