Gorgona Island from the terrace Mascagni in Livorno

...Ciaomau!

Maurizio,

beautiful composition, but the halo around the lamp post distracts from the otherwise excellent image. Is it an artifact of turning t into a really small jpeg? I love the balance between the calm ocean/island and the crazy diamond patterns of the terrace and the clouds that liven up the sky.

Hi Maurizio,

 Beautiful b/w image with wonderful composition & details.  Take care, Patsy

Hi Maurizio,

This is Artistic, so the loss in detail is of no consequence here.

Using F/29 on any good lens translates to a compromise in image quality.

The other issues with this posted image have already been stated.

Best Regards my friend, Mike

Perfect composition, Mau ... lovely !!

very graphic work here Maurizio...it has a surrealistic look which I like a lot...conversion and tones are well done, keeping the sky at an optimal level which doesn't compete but blends well with the ground...regards...David

Very nice work.

Simplicity with intricacy

Stunning, Mau!!

Hi, Maurizio! After all being said, this is a great image: great graphic work, excellent composition. I am sure if you work again on your raw file you will find the way to escape that halo. The picture really attracts! Best regards, Tamara

Quite a foreground for the distant island.Well composed and most excellent image with great  tones to the B/W.Bravo!

Meilleures salutations-Laurent

 

uno splendido NB....La composizione é buona

Great composition in BW, the tiles pattern is very effective here, all the best!

Hi Maurizio,

I share Mike's point of view.

I like the artistic use of f/22. The halo around the lamp and clouds on the left give a "mystic" atmosphere.

It's an another proof that technical perfection is not always "artistic". Good choice my friend.

A very nicely composed beautiful result, Maurizio!

 

Maurzio,

Professional photography, immaculate black and white and a flawless composition. State of the art image, congratulations,

Herman

Complimenti per questa bellissima foto: la composizione è ottima (hai sfruttato benissimo il motivo geometrico del pavimento e le luci e ombre sulla balaustra!) come pure la resa del bianconero. L'unica cosa che non mi piace è  l'alone chiaro intorno al lampione. Saluti, Federico.

Hi Mau

This is really good!!!

Simple and strong, very well composed.

Improvement: the hallo around the lamp.

I would like to see more works from you on this area.

Regards

José Cruz

Composizione eccellente!! Bravo!

Bel lavoro Maurizio! Ciao Sergio

 

maurizio mi piace tutto! sopratutto lo zoom che schiaccia il disegno del pavimento...

Exceptional composition, I like the simplicity and beauty of the landscape.

Splendid!
