Giotto's Bell tower

I like that in this image the imposing 278 ft high bell tower, Giotto’s Campanile, in the Piazza del Duomo, Florence, Italy becomes less dominant and acts more as a backdrop to the other elements in the scene. Comments and critique appreciated.

Hi Wayne, it's very beautiful work. I don't know how you got it effect (never mind), but I like it very much. It's like a painting. Good painting.

Regards.

Beautiful creative work of art Wayne, needs to be hanging in a gallery. Take care,............Patsy

Many thanks, Marek and Patsy. Your kind comments are really appreciated.

This is a painting, not photo crossed through some filter! Bravo, bravissimo!

Thanks, Pierre. Ever since I saw the water colors of Frank Webb, I've worked to paint and photograph not things themselves but symbols of things. I find I can better do representational art when I marry the two art forms of painting and photography.
