The Colosseum by night Photo

Photographer’s Note

After a longish break, I decided to come back with some new photos taken during my last trip. This time it was a short trip for a change (only 3 days long) and not a distant one. However the ancient city of Rome made an unforgettable impression on me. We spent all the time walking among the ruins and admiring the wonders that survived the test of time...
The Colosseum is awfully crowded all the time during the day but fortunately in the evenings it is possible to spend some time around without getting frustrated...
This photo was taken during our first walk in the first evening of our stay.
I hope you like the photo.
Greetings

Nice view!. I like the colors in the picture. Nice motion in some object. Maybe the lights are a little overexposed but I like it anyway.

Hi Lukasz, Great composition and nice pov. I can well imagine a big difference if this was captured in the day. The warm lights adds to mood of the image. Well done. What ISO setting did you use?
