Torino, 2011

comments welcome - take care, the grained old-print-like background

wasn't really meant as such from the start, it just came out when

enhancing the contrast.

hi MARCO. i think i would prefer this without the guy for some reason. it has a simple

pure historic value to it.. samme

Samme, thankd for your critique, which I treasure most. I'm actually working, along with my photo teacher, in trying to take shots depicting both a landscape and a human element closely intertwined. This one here could be another example. It is actually very difficult tryng to balance correctly both elements and despite my best effort the results are often frustrating. cheers Maarco

Head problem is that awful fence. Cropping nearly until the figure doesn't really improve, so just forget this one. Marco, succes while sweating...! :)

Sorry Olaf, much as I treasure your pungent comments I do not agree on this one. The fence does get in the way, it's true, but I personally do not think it flaws the picture to the point of discarding it altogether. Anyway, keep your comments coming! Cheers, Marco
