I like it - nicely done. The two-color aspect appeals to me: blue in the shutters and nightgown, beige in the drapes and building.

Thanks, I liked that too. It looked peaceful to me. Thanks again - Lex

Like it.

Thanks Joke.

a perfect composition. what a look the woman has. I like this photo so much.

Thanks Hossein. She just sat there as if waiting for the picture to be taken. - Lex

Thank you Vikram. This was such a fun photo to take. - Lex

A favorite in your Italy folder, muted tones and the large window/curtains create a story of visual interest.....cheers.....Tye.

Thank you Tye. I loved this building. It looks over the center square in the middle of town and just seemed to have so much character. I'm sure that this building has seen a lot over the years. Thanks again - Lex

Very well framed Alexa and the epitomy of what I think a building in Europe would look like, a grand window with someone gazing out on the street. This is such a classic scene, it could be a hundred years old for all I know. I think a B&W conversion would also work very well, it would give it that timeless quality I already see in this image.

Hi Susan, Thanks for your very kind comments. I tried a black and white version and I'll up load it here. Thanks again - Lex

Wow Lex, the black and white version looks like its pure gold. I've seen some duotone conversions that make the greys look more like cream and I think this would really be a great candidate for it. I think the composition here is what makes this photo so great with the amazing architecture framing such a humble looking person.

Again thanks Ryan. I hadn't thought of that possibility for this photo. That sounds exciting. I'll definitely have to give it a shot. I took this while waiting for the start of our opening ceremonies for a conference in Perugia. It started over two hours late. So in order to keep myself entertained, I took many photos of the square from my seat. This women and another kept coming to the window to see what was happening. This and a couple of other photos made the wait worth it. Thanks again - Lex

Excellent Image. Photos of this type add a lot to travel photography. The woman looking out the window adds much - a nice human touch that gives a feel of an Old World Europe/slower paced lifestyle. For what it is worth, I don't I agree with others about a monochrome conversion. I think the subtle colors in the original add much and the monochrome version seems to be lacking in enough contrast to really make it an equally strong rendition.

Thanks Ed, I really like both. The muted colors are what drew me to take the photo, but I think maybe muting them a bit more might draw more people to it. Either way, I love this photo and thanks for commenting!- Lex

Very nice. I like your comp and the peacefulness in this woman's face. Take care

Thanks Cynthia - Lex
