Livorno - Terrace (re-edited)

Thank you for your comments, critiques and suggestions, G.

All this geometry in bw fit so well here,sky in contrast with rest comes with a dramatic mood and complete this composition,regards Radu.

Very nice contrast, beautiful sky and intersting detail. Regards.

Nice work!

Ciao Giuseppe, la foto mi piace molto e sono andato a cercare la prima pubblicazione ma non l'ho trovata, in compenso ho rivisto con piacere molte delle tue belle foto che non ricordavo. A pesto. Antonio

very nicely done Giuseppe. Your choice of angle is judicious and elegant, and again, invites the viewer to step into the hypnotic frame. I feel the rather ominous dramatic sky competes somewhat with the magical geometry of place. The single bicycle rider is so fortunately placed, a beautiful accident.

If you permit a suggestion; cropping half an inch from left frame would make this already fine picture, even richer.

Great perspective and sky. Very nice composition. Beautiful image. Regards, Jean-Marc

Perfetta geometria e profondita',grande nitidezza e ottimo BN come sai fare tu....Ciao.

Very dramatic shot. I like it. Takes my eyes all over and back again, thats good.

Great job ,, Well done .................................................Best regards

Excellent!! Regards, ~~~~~~~~~~~~Linda

La Terrazza Mascagni è molto fotogenica e l'hai resa molto bene in questo scatto.

 

Giuseppe

A strong composition of shapes and tones.

Bellissima questa foto della terrazza Mascagni, la preferisco all'altra perché è più caratterizzata, un rigore geometrico che la rende quasi astratta, senza sconfinare nell'artefatto ma mantenendo la naturalezza di una foto vera. Bravo.

I think that this picture will come to my mind in the future, when I will be thinking about a great B&W photo!

The beautiful tones, the composition,the contrasts, the shapes : everything! The perspective is beautiful, and the sky is outstanding! (being Dutch I especially like dramatic skies too :)

Congratulations on your very beautiful photo! With kind regards, Marjolein

the photo taken with great care and taste, I like the contrast between the order and lightness which dominates the tarrace and the impression of dissarray and heaviness of the sky but the most striking thing here for me is the sense of space intensified by the presence of the biker within the frame. You've manage to attain the level of elegance rarely seen in other compositions, sincere compliments, ciao.

Very nice shot. However I too would have cropped a bit of the left side or moved the camera a bit to the right (if that was possible). Best regards Henrik

Amazing composition harmoni and tonality,I am lost in this lineplay and contrast,Soft clouds, man and harch chessboard, Excellent!!

Ciao / Janis Lukas

Max. Regards! CL

I would like to thank you all one by one for your comments and suggestions. Terrazza Mascagni is a landmark of my hometown Livorno in Tuscany: as you may guess, this vast,"metaphysical" square that opens to the seascape has been and is a favorite place for photographers. While preparing some new editions of my works for a not so distant printed publication I stepped into some photos that - imho - had been quickly post produced and do not meet my actual standards. This shot is one of them. I thank you by heart for the time spent reviewing and commenting and for the good suggestions given:

Carlos, Henrik: I will surely, seriously consider cropping a bit on the left, although I had left that itty bitty balustrade in order to physically "contextualize" the shot.

 

A "metaphysical" ciao from an almost completely "flu recovered" Giuseppe

Wonderful.........Alfredo

Semplicemente splendida! Bravissimo Giuseppe!

 

7/7 per questa bellissima Livorno!

Tecnicamente perfetta e piacevolissima da guardare. Complimenti Giuseppe!

 

I join the line ...;-)) the geometric space is wonderful and invites the viewer to observe the details.The different repetition of forms of the rail and floor is very rich. The only figure on the bike enhances the good DOF and light . Very nice photo, in well chosen B/W execution .
