Hi Miuky,

I love pictures of old buildings, they have a character all of their own. Apart from the plaque on the wall, this could have been taken years ago. Well composed and well presented.

Best regards,
Paul.

The distortion is inevitable when shooting buildings from below at such short distances, and I imagine that in these narrow streets you couldn't get any further back to avoid it.
Never mind, I don't think it matters that much here.
I like your choice of viewpoint, showing two sides of this interesting old building, and it looks great set against that deep blue sky.
Slightly tighter framing on the left to remove the car in the background wouldn't have hurt though.
A good point is the shadow of the building onm the other side of the street snaking across the wall, with the shapes of the chimney and tiled rooves clearly recognisable.
Good work Miuky.

Cheers,
Ben

Ciao Miuky
Fotografia non facile da realizzare a causa della luce e di alcune zone in ombra. Ottima inquadratura e dettagli ben definiti.
Have a nice week end
