Foro di Nerva at dusk Photo

Photographer’s Note

This small forum on the Via Dei Fori Imperiali from 96 AC is illuminated by floodlights which accentuates the different colors.It was temporarely closed during our stay, so I had to settle for a strange angle. The upside of this was that I could steady the Kodak on the gate.
The picture is cropped, saturated & sharpened.

Very nice. Good detail and the shadow and light play really nicely together. Are the Imperial Fora open at all? They have always been closed on my trips. I thought it was because of the ongoing archaeological work. Anyway, your "strange angle" does not detract at all. Nicely photographed.

I really like this one - the sharpness of the colors and details (due to lighting?) It's an interesting angle, and shows the "once granduer" of the building. It's also a nice distance - most antiquity photos are so wide as to take in a big scene, or extremely close as to catch a specific intricate detail. This is right between, and gives scale and a sense of mood. Which goes well with the mood of colors and time of day. I'd like to see all these places at night now.

wow, superb detail and sharpness. Perhaps there's nothing strikingly unique in this shot except it's really beautiful. It would make a nice framed shot on your wall. pts. depleted for the day...

This is the photo of your portfolio I liked the most, Bert. Impressive details, and, BTW, how could you catch such a variety of tones? Really a masterpiece.
