Very nice work, Giuseppe!

il piccolo uomo "nero" sembra schiacciato dalla grandezza dell'architettura che lo circonda. Elena

Formidabile.

this was taken in Rome. in Piazza Colonna (not far from Palazzo Chigi - official meeting place of Council of Ministers). This is for my PN friends, those 1020 that decided to stop by and give a look to my work, and leave a comment or rating: hope you liked and will like it, be sure I appreciate and make treasure of your time spent on the other side of this screen.

Questa mi era sfuggita. Splendida!

Delicious photo.

 

Magic...

Hello Giuseppe . Very interesting your composition .

Double entendre . . . means two ways of hearing something . . . often one way is ribald.

 

This is not ribald, but it is a photo that can be taken two ways.

 

The Roman columns bespeak another day when sculptures of prominent citizen and leaders were common.

 

This man has the profile of an ancient Roman, and amid the columns he easily might be mistaken for another 'bust'.

 

He's not (or at least I think so), but the confusion gives rise to the visual equivalent of a double entendre, however without any ribald meaning.

 

In my view, that's a great deal of its success; that he has traditional and classic Roman features, he's presented in the same manner as a traditional 'bust' amid the classic columns, and for a moment, we have to hesitate, to guess which he is, and, of course, we know (as photographers with experience) the more the viewer is absorbed into a photo, in general, the more successful it is.

 

This one decidedly is a success, and finally I have (I think) put my finger on why.

 

Best wishes for a New Year following the holidays, (which I presume you spent in one of Italy's famous seaports . . . . . and my very best to the both of you and the rest of your family.)
