nursery school, portoferraio, elba island

It is a contradiction, but the strong light is perfect for this scene.
Greetings.

Great composition-nice b&w-nice details!...Wonderful view point.

Regards(Bobby).

andrea mi piace molto il contrasto tra la pavimentazione e la facciata liscia della scuola, bel colpo d'occhio

Interesting theme Andrea nicely captured. ......Fitting symmetric composition with depth and perspective. .....Despite the harsh light the exposure is ok.

Well composed. all the patterns leading to the white structure make it look special. Best regards.

Wonderful play of light and composition, Andrea...my best

I like how you play with sharp contrasts here, a very distinct and non-conventional image.

thanks, your observations are important for me, ciao!

Great mastery of black and white, shadow and light, and p/p.  Very interesting  POV and great perspective.  Congrats, Gail

I like the sharp contrast here.. it gives to the photo special meaning ... it makes you think how rough and tuff life can be.

Andrea, much as I do like your picture I was wandering whether a landscape cropping would be better. Anyway, I really appreciate your super-contrast b/w. complimenti, Marco

thanks. marco, maybe you are right, i tried many crops, but i wanted to preserv the alley. what i like is that now, without films, is easier to think at photos as works in progress.

they are so much a work in progress I'm still retouching pictures of 2007! but it is such fun...all the best, Marco.
