Almost B&W

Thanks for every comment and criticism. In particular every suggestion is

welcome. Ciao.

I'm not a huge fan of the selective color treatment, but I do really like the perspective you chose for this photo and the way you've composed it.  I actually think it would work better as a pure black and white, with maybe a little more contrast and a gradual burning of the sky at the top.

Thanks Michael for your comment. I'm not a fan of the selective color treatment too, but in this case I liked it. About the sky you are right but the problem is the rising of the noise and the posterization, the problem is that in the color version the sky is almost white.

Given the natural texture in this photo, some additional noise might not be a bad thing.  That said, if the noise in the sky is too distracting (while being acceptable/aesthetic in the foreground and building), perhaps a gradient filter diagonal from the top left that softens the sky while leaving the rest as-is?

Gradient filter, that is a blur or noise reduction filter applied with a gradient mask?

I was thinking of Lightroom, where you can apply a gradient filter and then use it to selectively darken/soften that portion of the frame while leaving the rest untouched.

Dear Michael I have understand, you means something like that. Thanks again for your suggestions.

Andrea.  I like the new treatment.  Try dodging (lightening) the girl a touch, and see what that looks like.

Thanks again Michael for your suggestions. What do you think?

Hi Andrea.  I really like it!  Nice job.  And thanks for being open to my suggestions. :-)

We have always to learn something. Ciao.

I like it, but in this case i would go for the B/W....

I gues that's stronger.

Cheers Dolf

Ciao Andrea, concordo sulla bellezza della foto e nonostante apprezzi la tua interpretazione "mista", la versione in B&W mi soddisfa maggiormente e migliora ulteriormente l'impatto estetico!

Un saluto, Alberto.

Bellissima così com'è! Una composizione di linee curve che conduce quasi ad una moderna caverna. La bimba a colori (...una vera perla...) potrebbe essere la protagonista di una favola moderna! Bravo!

Mi dispiace molto, a causa della tua eccessiva benevolenza nei miei confronti, il 7 non mi è consentito: ripiego su un "povero" 6...!

Mi piace molto la composizione ed apprezzo maggiormente la versione in bn.
