Diocletian's Arch Photo

Photographer’s Note

This arch was built in honor of Emperor Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletianus (245-313 a.d.) and consitutes the most souther part of the Sufetula site. I was inspired by Eva's picture to post my version of the arch.

This photo was covered with dust and thumbprints, so i spent a lot of time cloning them out. I'll have to change to a lab where they're a little more careful with my negatives.

Framing of this picture is wonderful and the sun seems very strong with those colors. I didn't saw that was a scanned picture from a negative. you made a good work. Bravo!

Nice view. This frontal view really gives the arch its triumphal quality. You did a good job if it was as bad as you say as this is very nice and smooth. The colors are very nice. It has good sharpness giving good texture to the arch. I might be tempted to increase the contrast slightly and correct for perspective but that's obviously not necessary as it looks very nice as it is. Good job. All your Tunisian shots make me want to go down there and take a look at these ruins myself.
