These steep steps go on and on. Great positioning allowing us to view upward with great depth. Each level has about 10 steps. Lots of levels. A great sky. Make for a pleasant composition - photo technically well done. Have a good week end drt100 David

Hi Carlo
Great one with the stairs leading up to the lady in red and the impressive church. Good depth of field.
Cheers

Salut Carlo,
Bien cadrée cette vue avec ce bon effet de profondeur donné par ces marches qui nous mènent vers le point fort de l'image avec cette église, intéressante composition photo.

Ciao Carlo, Patrona degli sportivi? I wonder if there is a patron of the photographers :). I like stirs, splendid perspective. The lady in pink made an effort to climb there but I am sure she has a nice view from above.
Have a nice weekend

Ciao Carlo,

The long stairway care for a nice depth and perspective picture.
Happy see we the small curch, the church is nice very far away.
The atmosphere makes your picture attractive
Colours and details are sharply exposed.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hello Carlo,
A serious climb on the stairs to reach the sanctuary.
The endless series of stairs is beautifully flanked by trees along two sides.
Magnicifent how the tower and both crosses stand out against the threatening sky.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Carlo,
I wonder if the lady in pink had to climb these stairs in her long dress, or if she arrived by car from the other side. The stairs are mainly good for photographers. They give the picture fine depth and are nicely framed by trees on both sides, making us focus strongly on the church and its tower. Some processing was obviously needed to give the sky this threatening expression.
Regards,
Gert

Ciao Caro Carlo,

Questi ripidi gradini e i loro corrimani associati, rendono la salita perfetta alla chiesa focale, le sue croci mostrano chiaramente contro il cielo nuvoloso.
Le due figure, vestite con colori vivaci, sono importanti per aggiungere il tocco umano!

Buon appetito,
Bev :-)

Hello Carlo,
The long steps are well included in the foreground and lead are eyes up and towards the charming church in the distance. The sky makes a very appealing backdrop as well and the people in their bright clothes also make a good addition.

Ciao caro Carlo,

And now I see this sanctuary from the outside. And what a wonderful photograph! You have chosen your viewpoint very well and used the lines of the long flights of steps to draw the eye to the doorway of the church itself. And how appropriate that a "lady in red" should be standing there to greet us at the top of the steps!

Lovely soft light and colours, perfect exposure and excellent detail and sharpness.

Excellent!

Kind Regards,

John.

Ciao Carlo,
I like your POV in this photo. We are invited to walk up the stairs with you to the lovely sanctuary at the top. I like the trees on both sides, and the moody sky, too.

Hi Carlo
The staircase is vital as strong anchor point taking you all the way up to the church and the nicely merged fig in red as a whole package. Excellent perspective and depth, well realised and taken, Congrats.
Best regards
