Colonade, St. Peter's Bascilica

Comments, please.

I love this photo. It is immediately recognizable as the colonnade from St. Peter's Basilica, while at the same time unique as a photo particularly because of your great use of light and wonderful exposure.

 

I especially like that you maintained detail in the ceiling portion without blowing out the highlights on the left side of the colums facing the Basilica.

 

Bravo.

You took the picture in a very nice angle. I like your composition. When I visited the Vatican (guided tour) we only had about 15 minutes inside and outside. Didn't have much time to take good pictures. This is a Great one.

I just came across this. Their are no squirrels. there is no strong sun. This is an excellent photo. Do cathedrals not squirrels.

I like how the viewer's eyes are lead into the photograph.

Gerald, this is a wonderful colonade! very well composed , with very nice colors and soft light.
