Ciao Ike
I usually do not like graffiti on the walls, but this is really cute, including butterfly. She wrote: (D)avide tu mi fai sognare= (D)avid you make me dream. And since you are on the street of love that's okay. :-)
beautiful shot.
buona serata
Simonetta

Hi Ike,

The writing on the wall is framiong well the butterfly. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the butterfly. The light of the flash is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

Via stretta, come l'amore quando passa la passione.
Pochi ritornano per confermare l'impegno .
Ma mai proibire di sognare.
Una foto che mette ottimismo, ma smentita dalle statistiche.

Hello Ike,
What a lovely composition with a romantic message. Yes the lovers are always very creative to express their passion and their love. I love it.
Cheers,
Maria

ourania (51103) 2012-07-11 7:15

Hello Ike,
this is a lovely composition, superbly framed and lit and with great real colours. In fact the whole picture is so real, like an open book, where mostly girls (I guess) from a nearby high school(another guess) express what's in their hearts and minds at this moment, this eternal, soon to be left behind, present. A wonderful capture that brought the graffitti out of the neighbourhood for many people to see. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good evening,
Ourania

This appears to be more of a message board for lovers, and you've captured the essence of this tunnel of love. Superb clarity allows us to read the notes, simply a great idea and presented perfectly, great job Ike!!

Hello;)

Caro Ike

What a pity that people choose to deface one of the most beautiful parts of Italy like that. Unfortunately it is common. And the grafittist cannot even spell Davide :) Avide makes her dream :) A nice capture though, good colours, sharpness and framing.

Un caro saluto
Lisa

jmdias (116511) 2012-07-12 3:02

ike

nice choice of this part of the mural, there is an amount of words and graphism and the naif butterfly created a nice contrast with the "hard" caligraphy. nice job.

hugs

Hello
Simple wall covered with ugly graffiti, but the butterfly is beautiful. Someone wanted to revive the gray wall. Excellent image quality.

צהריים טובים. הקיר פשוט מכוסה גרפיטי מכוער, אבל פרפר היא יפה. מישהו רצה להחיות את הקיר האפור. איכות תמונה מעולה. שלך.

"david, you make me dream" ~ what a beautiful title that would have been for this photo :)

a lovely capture on what is a stunning walking path ~ and a perfect one for la via dell'amore.

Hi,
This is pretty nice shot of graffiti which usually look messy and dirty. Texts are nothing special and couldn´t get my attention BUT how beautiful are a butterfly and small hearts around it!! Someone has made this wall looks cute by using soft nice colors. Photo is very sharp as all text are readable. TFS.
Cheers, Kaisa

Hello Ike,
