Manarola

Manarola is a nice village in a small close area along the Ligurian coast,

named Le Cinque Terre (The Five Villages) Rio Maggiore, Corniglia, Vernazza

and Monterosso are the other four. The area is located in the south-east

ligurian coast.

Tnx for you comments, critiques and ratings.

I also like this (especially the colors of the houses), but something bothers me. And I think it is the fact that the horizon is placed in the vertical center. Do you have a larger version of this? In this case, try to include more of the sky and crop a little from below. Maybe even crop out the stone in the lower left corner.

Kind regards, Alex

Really nice!

I should take a shot this picture Not You!!

Just joking Mauro.... :D  I'm just envy you bcoz could not take this picture.....Best regards........ :)

ALAN: thank-you very much, Alan!

ALEX: you are right. The picture has been obtained by merging in a panorama (PS CS5) three different free-hand shots and cropping the result to a rectangular format. Unfortunately the not perfect alignment of the shots drived this kind of cropping that puts the horizon line just midway between the borders. :-(

JAVIER: thank-you very much, Javier!

SULUNG: :-)! You can't imagine the times I said the same sentence! I'm sure that if you had been there you would have taken a picture much better than this!

Hi Alex,

according to your comment here I tried to displace the horizon. Indeed there is an indecent clone-work to recreate artificially the missing sky. I'm eager to know your verdict.

Mauro

Hey Mauro, thanks for the link. Indeed, I like the picture with displaced horizon even better.

But still, I would crop a little more from the left, because the rock in the lower left corner still distracts me. In the new picture there appear some effects that show that you cloned parts of the sky. However, I guess this was just a "quick and dirty" cloning for preview, and one could easily do better if one took the time to.

Kind regards, Alex
