Castello Marostica Superiore at sunset.

Looking over the ancient walls, and not-so-ancient (but very good)

restaurant atop the walled city of Marostica in Veneto, Italy. Trying

to get the most dynamic range out of a single exposure. Thanks for

looking, and for comments.

Wish I were there :(

 

Excellent!

I don't know how you can divy out such a great store of shots over such a protracted period of time: you probably open your Christmas presents one each hour. All the Italian village shots have been treasures. Here again are rich color tones and light (always shot at just the right time) joining marvelously attractive settings. Maybe the Italian Tourist Bureau is paying you to space these out.

The balance and contrast between warm and cold tones is really amazing, and rendered so well thanks to the composition.

In and outer space Matt. In space for people, outer for nature, both for people to live and enjoy.Well combined together.

Very well made. I love the composition with the near by very warn saturated colours and the distant blurred soft colours of the hills and mountains.

Thanks, everyone. I like this image, myself, for a few reasons. First, this is what it actually felt like to be standing there. The masonry, grounds, walls, clouds, and hills really were taking on some tremendous colors. It's a gorgeous place. Secondly, this was part of my getting-to-know-you period with an ultra-wide lens, and a chance to really see what kind of incredible depth of field you can get when shooting at 10mm. Thirdly, you see that little inn and restaurant there? They had just poured me some very nice local wine.
