Ciao Paolo,

A postcard that presume carefully composed image, with idealistic light and set-up.

The different towers from Santa Maria church are very eye-catcher, with their different shapes and features. All these buildings in full warm tones stand out from the blue background. Sunny and inviting.

Greetings,

André

Oh to live in warmer climes like here, sitting on the beach in February. I walk on our beach at least twice a week with 4 layers of clothing, wooly hat, scarf and thermal gloves! So spare me a thought next time you bathe in the sea ;D
It looks like it may be the last rays of sun casting its golden glow on the church walls. The reflections are also an important part of the image.
Any reason apart from forgetfulness for the ISO 1600?

Yes really a picture postcard from you tonight Paolo, the light and colours are excellent i wonder why you choose ISO 1600, Have anice weekend.

asajernigan (13929) 2008-03-07 12:40

Paolo,
Excellent post card from Italy! Your composition is great using the beach to lead the eye into the photo. The curve of the shoreline gives the shot nice direction. The well lit church stands out against the shadowed foreground creating nice contrast. The lighting and colors are great as is the sharpness and DOF.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Paolo!

this is trully a great postcard and I mean it the best way possible (I don't know why some people feel offended by the word "postcard"). Great POV, composition and perspective, fabulous colours! Congratulations!

Ciao, Hercules

atus (15452) 2008-03-08 19:46

Ciao Paolo,
cartolina veramente bellissima, in perfetta linea coi canoni del sito che ci ospita e che mi fá venire voglia di viaggiare e visitare posti magnifici come questo.
Volevo chiederti riguardo all'ISO, ma poi ho notato che a qualcuno hai giá risposto in completa sinceritá (:D. Comunque tranquillo, succede anche al sottoscritto, che seppur completamente astemio, si dimentica spesso e volentieri di rimettere a posto i vari settaggi.
Complimenti e buona domenica!
Attila

Good management of enlightenment and appropriate balance in the frame.
