Hi Gyorgy
The very symmetrical composition works perfectly here for a great photo with your Graflex Miniature which I looked up - it looks very similar to an old fold out camera that I have that was my mothers but a it more sophisticated.
cheers

Hi Gyorgy,
Beautiful and interesting architecture style with this perspective of street and the monument like focal point in the BG, good depth effect with these receding lines on each side of your shot, tfs

Hello György,
Lots of elements in the street and on the buildings have created fine depth. There is also very good symmetry and very straight lines and the view ends nicely at the church. Good sharpness and contrasts too.

Thanks for the WS. I knew you would suggest a B&W version. I actually made one myself and debated whether to use it as main upload or WS, especially for you, but then decided it wouldn't make much difference, so I skipped he idea.
Best wishes,
Gert

Hello Gyorgy,
A very nice perspective down the pedestrian street here towards the stately façade of the basilica. The grand architecture of the buildings on either side is wonderful as well and adds many fine details.

Hello Gyorgy, Excellent composition. I like the symmetry and depth, Nice view of the two rows of lamps disappearing far away. Looks like a photo taken many years ago.

Best regards MAlgo

Hi Gyorgy,
Quite impressive pedestrian street ending at the basilica. Big classic buildings create uniform style to this place and B&W is a good choice for presenting it. This kind of street could be thoroughly commercial but luckily this doesn't look like it.

Hi Gyorgy,
Very well captured street scene. The black and white introduces a bit sad mood.
Great perspective on the elegant church from the nice street.
I just noticed now that you are using the old school equipment. That must be fun!
Very well done,
M

Hi Gyorgy
Like your symmetrical framing with main feature in the background flanked by the classic buildings on both sides. This is a lively shot and good mono treatment to the eyes enhancing the visual aspect of the capture.
Best regards
