Lovely. . . I have'nt seen the tri-color technique

used as effectively in many years.

 

and. . . not only technically well executed but very pleasing and to some, perhaps perplexing as

to how this photograph was created. . . pleasing

all the way around.

This is a great shot - I love it. Maybe it is just me but that cloud in the top-right quadrant resembles a human face looking down at the dome! At first I thought this was a special effects shot, done with post-process, etc. Anyone else see it?

I LOVE the image, except for the telescope bldg/planetarium. IMHO the building doesn't add to the image plus there's distortion (I presume because of the 20mm lens). This would work great with just the clouds and landscape elements.

 

 

I'm not sure if a ND grad filter was used, or this is simply a case of a sloppy dodge and burn, but the top 3rd darker portion of the print looks tacky and too manipulated.

 

Otherwise, a neat composition and great color. If you can fix the top part of the print and have it match the density of the rest of the print, it would really look better.

You could sell this to Sky and Telescope or Astronomy Magazine. This calibre of shot equals or surpases their normally great shots.

Was any digital manipulation used? If so what kind.

I like it. Nice composition. The sky looks incredible too.

Beautiful composition -- the buildings served as an anchor, for me, to give balance and scale to the sky. Have heard of "tri-color technique" but am not familiar with it -- how is this done?

Fantastic photograph.

Fantastic colour, but a big shame that we can't enjoy this lovely shot in larger size :-) Jan

i thought it was a face looking down on the scene when viewed small. i do love the shot though, great use of colour and ultra 50.

I'm telling you, Gian... you have GOT to be more careful when you're out harvesting those wild mushrooms! Better yet, do us ALL a favor and don't take any chances- NO mushrooms within 24 hours of when you're going to play around with photoshop on your pictures.

[LOL- just joking... FANTASTIC IMAGE!!!!!!!]

I like the buildings, I think it gives depth and perspective to the photograph - without them, it would be just another picture of the sky. Nice shot.

Very dramatic. At first I thought the dome was a bit of a distraction, but then again, it sets in well and provides another colour to the shot and serves as scale of measure as well.

Trippy

Incredible. Not sure the building fits though, the light isn't glowing on it as it is in the sky. Otherwise - fantastic!!

I like your picture and I wonder weather the picture is manipulated or not? You don´t tell.

I also see the face looking down, cool !

Gianluca, molto bene.

It appears that there is a face in one of the clouds.... Maybe God's

Looks nice.

Did you alter cloud colors ?

 

I agree with comments made by JM and Geraldine. You did as well as it can be done. Don't change a thing.

As amateur astronomer I have gathered a large collection of astronomical pictures but up to now I have never seen so contrasted natural colors.

Congratulations.

fantastic sky to present telescope
