Local Color

Local Color

Along some streets of Florence, Italy, the buildings seem to encase and

an overcast sky feels like a ceiling completing the enclosure. At these

overcast times, the colors of Tuscany - the creams, rusty oranges and

yellow/gold are almost hidden. In processing this image I stumbled upon

colors that helped me romanticize in my memory the colors of Florence

and the grey damp atmosphere that was Florence half the time I was

there loving every minute. Comments and critique welcome.

Wayne,

Thanks, Patsy.

Excellent composition, Wayne...wonderful light and details...my best

Thanks for visiting and commenting, Kallol.

There is something very lyrical about this shot. I love the color tonong on the upper buildings The two men on cell phones are almost comical in this setting, and yet such a slice of life, today. Was the curve this strong in the street/buildings, or have you done a little bendin to create more of the illusiopn? Lovely shot.

Thanks, Charles, for visiting and your observations.  The curve was there.  I thought it an odd parallaxing effect too.  I think you and I are the only two who read the almost comical and odd appearance of this street scene.
