Lovely colour in this shot with a jaunty, dynamic angle to boot.

this is really nice
pretty, and all that
nice pretty light and angle
for me, the subject is overworked and lacks originality - it is still a great shot but is boring for me because of that. The second arch from the right also has an unfortunate modern back

Nice colour and tone but the perspective is looking a little awkward to me. A little too much chianti before maybe hehehe

I really like this, but as mentioned above, the modern railing does it in.

Strong image. Vivid detail and a powerful dramatic sense.

Beautiful colors and nice composition.
BigFrank (79 months ago | reply)
I like it. I think the composition is nice, the drama of the black sky works well and the lighting is very interesting.
Good job.

Pensiero (79 months ago | reply)
Ok, maybe because it is my city, but I have seen tons of pics like this... colours are interesting, but it's hard to have an original perspective of a famous monument.

Makes me long for the good old days of real games, real men and the right to kill any barbarian on sight. Great photo; angle, colours, lightning.
