Bigo, a photo from Genoa, Liguria

Photographer's Note

Sunset on Genoa's old harbour. The structure in the middle of the picture is the "Bigo" (by Renzo Piano).
"Bigo" is the name of the crane used on old merchant ships to load goods. Its shape inspired Piano this work, which now stands out in the ancient port of the city(in the XII-XIII sec. one of the most important and rich of the Mediterranean sea).

Hi tommaso
I really like this photo... don´t know, maybe because of the "bigo" coming out from the water and all the reflection on it, or maybe because of the sun, right in the "magic hour".
Nice composition, the light is soft and that´s works for me.
Keep sharing!
And welcome to TE :D
Saludos, Paula.

the color and light contrasts are very strong here, well seen, the form of the crane is a good graphic outcentered, well presented Tommaso.
