Beautiful light and interesting composition, with the out-of-focus stones in the foreground and the strange image of the black bird (could be a stealth warplane) in the slate-blue sky.

Hi Mario
Do you know Alex Colville?
Why am I asking? Because your composition is very similar,I might be looking at one of its paintings.here is a link to some of its paintings.

Nice shot. She is in the far end because the bird should be included in the capture.

Very interesting compo indeed. I found myself strangely drawn to this shot. I don't know why it works so well for me, maybe the contrast between the blurry pebbles in the front and the clear cold air at the back. Maybe the simplicity, either way TFS

Very interesting compo. Mario, with the burst of light from the right highlighting the yellow dress. The DOF effect on the shingles is good & the bird does look like the Stealth. I love the simplicity..very very nice!

Hi Mario,

couldn't resist saying well done for this shot, love the darkness of the image and especially the 'stealth bird'!

Ciao mario.
Foto un pò scura ma per questo ancora più interessante. Ottima composizione e bello l'uccello che passa solitariamente sfocato nel fondo.

Ciao mario bella foto con ottima scelta della messa a fuoco, ottima la composizione delle figure con la donna che passeggia sulla sinistra e l'uccello leggermente fuori fuoco sulla destra.
Ottima foto, ciao Silvio :)

Bella composizione e bella foto Mario, complimenti, i tre elementi della foto, ghiaia, donna e volatile nero, giocano in modo eccellente nel comporre l'immagine, bravo e opportunista al momento giusto, ben fatto, avrei da ridire sulla cornice ma essendo una questione di gusti la finisco qui.
Buona settimana
Ciao
Vinicio

Hello Mario,
Wonderful composition with a superb blurred foreground and a perfect light on the lady.
Everything is very well positioned here.
And the dark grey sky is fantastic.

Teresa
