Guicciaria in Palermo

I have shot this photo in Palermo in a zone named Guicciaria....what

do you think...in my opinion it's an image of urban desolation...

Well chosen title, it does generate this feeling. B&W enhances this. Well done!

Grazie

A few problems - overblown highlights, and a snapshot feel. Cropping the sky may help...the people on the street should add to the scene, but here, they do not - but I like the shot for overall message

Doesn't look all that different from my old Brooklyn neighborhood.

I too think it's good subject,I only wish you had not cropped of the girls feet,and the top of the electric pole.If you left a little sky above the pole, it would not bother me so much.I also wonder if in cropping the photo if you could straighten up the leaning building.I can see you know what a good photographic subject is,the sharpness is good, I would just work a little on framing.Thanks for sharing.

Well, this sure isn't a cliche image of Tuscan countryside, and shows another face of a country. I find these images fascinating, because they stripp off the facade of hypocrisy that usually is projected through photography. Not all images have to be beautiful or pseudoart renderings or pretententious.

Well said John, well said! Couldn't have said it better.
