roofs of milano - the duomo

I like this very interesting combination of people and architecture. Attractive poses harmonised with the ghotic details. Excellent work, Andrea! What a wonderful place for smoking corner:-).

A black & white would never be better than what you have presented here.

The exposure set in proper manner and value with very impressive DOF to obtain such fine details all over the frame work, your contrast and tone and the present of the two ladies forms the pleasant atmosphere of the place and adding a great interest into the outstanding composition of this superbly handled photograph.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

I wish to wake up and be  there :) 

Fantastic light, composition, atmosphere, toning....everything ! 

It's as if they are in a magical land where roof tops sprout from the ground.

Wonderfully seen and beautifully captured.

I agree with Rashed, this image was made for viewing in black and white.

I too, like Tatjana - would love to wake up there tomorrow and see this lovely sight with my own eyes.

Interesting roofs! And an interesting composition of girls in dark clothing and light roofs!

many thanks for all your interesting observation. yes, the roof of the dome, in milano, is really something magic, that i didnt know before. thanks, ciao

Very nice capture indeed. A cigarette break, on top of the Duomo - looks quite relaxing. The ladies' dark attire contrasts very well with the white spires of the Duomo in the BG.

the white stone and the women in black.  most extreme.  great stuff.

how is it enjoyable to smoke stacks over

I especially love all the tones, from dark black, to bright white. This is such a beautiful photo. Lovely ladies, sitting and relaxing. beautiful statues atop pillars in a row. The bright areas aren't too bright, and the shadows aren't too dark either. A very difficult thing to acheive with a digital camera. Very well done, Andrea!

Excellent composition, tones, contrast & lovely ladies, great shot, my friend.

janice, bobby, alberto, thanks for stopping by! ciao
