Thank you for your comments, critiques and suggestions, G.

Funny indeed! I would have changed the position of the street sign pole.

A fine and witty shot in the classic neo-realist style. I like this very much. It is one of the best shot I've seen on PN in a while. Warm regards...

Giuseppe, thank you for the nice portrait. You can mail me the photo via the Photo.net e-mail address, grazie e ciao

Luca: I wanted that pole there, where it is, and for this reason I shot this one from the middle of the road (w/ cars passing by);

Joseph, your good eye saw/spotted the neo-realistic mood: "What has always interested me is the analysis of a decaying society" - Luchino Visconti

I agree that the pole *has* to be there. I would have placed it only a few centimetres further left (of the viewer) to divide the head approximately in two and still show a bit of the front part of the arm and the breast.

 

Ah, the pole is pefectly vertical, but the building is tilted to the left.

I agree with you, although in a hurry, I could have been a bit more accurate while framing this photo. Thank you for your comments, Giuseppe
