Ceiling of the Piccolomini Library, Duomo di Siena

Nice to see some new material from you. This is most impressive by the clarity and certain glow, your craftmanship is very clearly documented - again. Bravo.

At first look likes to decline a bit,but not...Excellent definition and detail.The Duomo of Siena is beautiful.Regards

gunnar, your ceilings are always surprending. So rich of details and majesty, the tunes  seems to be choosed (more warm, probabily, than the real) to give a sense of immanence, of eternity. i love a lot, becouse this photos  not only describs, but offers a key to interpretate the subject. can i ask if you use a tripod?

Markku and Mario, thank you very much for your comments! I am glad you like it. This was actualy very difficult (but interesting and funny) exercise to me, probable the most difficult one so far. The photo is taken two years ago and have been tried to post process the picture on several times. Never successful enough. The biggest problem was the sharpening.

Thank you Andrea! The colours are natural but saturated. I was surprised how fresh and bold colours were there. Maybe recently renovated, I don´t know. The tripod was not used, this is handheld taken. That was another problem with sharpening, because the flash was forbidden and I hadn´t tripod with me for this short tour from Firenze to Siena.

This is incredible! Reminds me of a kaleidoscope.  And without use of a tripod! Impressive! ~~~~~~L

I share your feelings Gunnar...the sharpening is quite realistic. Well done.

Did you lay on the floor to take this one? I read the earlier posts and understand it was handheld/no flash...wow! The clarity and rich colors just jump off my monitor, this is fantastic...again I am blown away by how sharp the details are! As always it is inspiring to view your work.

Warm regards, Pamela

Beautiful work with very nice details, Gunnar!

The visual impact of these very colourful frescoes is stunning - as is your photographic and pp work. Compliments Gunnar
