Nostalgia

The hilltop town of Montalcino, Tuscany. A rare rainy & foggy day

during my visit. Specifications : handheld, ISO 200, f7.1, shutter

1/80. Converted to B&W with channel mixer PS.

Great effect in B/W , sets a nice rainy mood, very nice. Like your comp.

Best Wishes Andrea

wow this really evokes a mood for me. throws me right back there. actually reminds me of a Paris in the winter type of shot, too. I like the lighting, the fog, the slick road... I think nit works well

Great B & W and it captures the mood of a rainy day anywhere in the world. Great composition and depth.

 

Well done.

A beautiful b&w photo . Excellent atmosphere capture

magnificent mood enhanced by B&W. marvellous atmosphere. regards!

hi kah i like the tones and the atmosphere here, welldone, however imho maybe i would prefer to see the person tilted and not centered, welldone really, regards , RK!

truly nice.

B/W enhances the raining gloomy mood very well. I like this a lot.

I really like this shot Kah. Great choice to go with B&W, and the inclusion of the woman holding the umbrella really completes it. Nicely done.

I've liked your work for some time now especially the Italy photos. This one is great and really shows your composition skills. Well done again.

what a great example of leading lines...environment...elegance and above all, a great photo. tripple wow!!!

Stunning B&W - the lowkey tones with the misty, moist light at the end of the street and the reflections make the shot for me. Very atmospheric. Artful work with wide angle perspective and radial composition.

Mood of rain and winter is great Kah, DOF, exposure,shiny reflections, all are contributing to the beauty of the scene.

Wonderful capture. Great sense of time and place. I love Montalcino, it's maybe my favorite town in Tuscany and I usually use it as my base for the area. Good job. mS

I thank you all for the numerous ratings and especially critiques. I am particularly pleased as many of you have a great eye for photography or are very accomplished photographers, whose work I have admired. Michael, I can see why you love Montalcino. This was my first time here, I used it as a base for the Val d'Orcia.

Wonderful b&w tones. Great capture! Cheers, J

Beautiful image,well done.

This is an honest B/W. Reminds of old movies reminds music, reminds places that you wanted to go, reminds many things. Maybe your best work in all your portfolio for me. Thank you for sharing! Well done!

Thanks Billy. Appreciate your comments, I note that you are an afficionado of desaturated work. This is actually quite often singled out when people look at my prints.

Excellent picture. I am only a beginner, but I think I can appreciate the art of this picture; the silhouette and umbrella are as if drawn on the background of the street. The grayscale from blacks to lights is distributed beautifully, and the composition with the woman's reflection is next to perfect. One of my favourite photos I've seen recently.

Superb in colours, tones, mood and perspective!

Cheers!

Contrary to most of the well saturated landscapes I could look at this picture for a long time. I'd encourage you to continue in this style!

u can feel this feeling
