Ale, i tuoi punti di vista hanno sempre un certo effetto su di me. Beautiful mountain church.

Fine symmetrical composition, Alessandra, and a good capture of the constrasting architectural elements. Very good colors, and I like how the shadow of the roof escapes the symmetry a little. Well done!

The WS looks spectacular with the mountain on the left. It definitely could stand as a TE posting in its own right.

Another typical church of the beautiful Bergamo area. Well balanced, good captured and well framed. I like your idea. The picture seems to suffer a bit, on the left hand side, of post processing distortion. However, this is a wonderful composition. I love your workshop as well.

A very nice angle you've chosen here.
I like the fountain in the middle of the stairs and then the view "up there" to the church.
I also saw your WS, but why not post it on TE
another day, this one is splendid too !!

Hi Ale, you come out once again with a very good composition. I am not sure about the fountain though..

To tell you the truth I prefer the photo you've posted in the wokshop, but the tight crop in this one is also very nice.

Both photographs are very nice. I like the point of view in this one. I like the perspective in it. Even the sky seems to have a nice perspective. I am drawn up and then back into this image. Or it really seems to be popping out at me. Perhaps it could be a little bit sharper but both the contrast and color are very nice. Nicely done on both images.

To be frank, Ale, I think that it's not your best one here on TE.
And I explain my point of view :
- there is a lack of place in the four sides and all is too much tight in the frame,
- architectural photos are among the more difficult to do and the technical imperfections don't forgive : here, the perspective with the distortion on the both sides of the wall throw off balance the whole photo,
- the roof is cut by the frame on both sides,
- it's a pity that the fountain is in front of the stairs and hide them,
- the light is a bit flat.
As postive points, the symetry is well seen and the textures, particularly the stone, are nice.
For me, it can be a nice image if you take it from a more elevated point and if you wait for having a more interesting light (maybe in the late afternoon).
I am sorry to be so strong, Ale, but I really think that it's the best way to progress, for all of us. And when one of your photo is nice, I also said it to you frankly.
Hope you will not take these words badly ;-)
