Extracted from Wikipedia:

"Everyone carries a shadow," Jung wrote, "and the less it is embodied

in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is." …

Shadow can include everything outside the light of consciousness, and

may be positive or negative. … Jung also believed that "in spite of its

function as a reservoir for human darkness—or perhaps because of this

—the shadow is the seat of creativity”, so that for some, “the dark side

of his being … represents the true spirit of life as against the arid

scholar”.

In light of what stated above, I know I have a shadow aspect but I don’t

know which of the two parties is. And you, what do you think it is?

Very nice the combination between the ancient and the modern. Good.

Caro Sergio, conosco San Galgano (sono di Firenze) e so che emozioni possa smuovere tale luogo, emozioni che hai cominicato bene con questo scatto, ma non posso fare a meno di notare che l'iscurimento del cielo non mi sembra andare di pari passo con quanto visibile attraverso l'apertura del vecchio rosone e delle finestre sottostanti: maschera solo nella parte sovrastante? Non lo so ma mi risulta un po' irreale. Ciao tutto ciò solo per discuterne insieme.

Thank you again Maurizio, it would be very useful and constructive if those who give low rating were also explain the reasons which lead them to give such rating. Bye.

Thank you Maurizio and Rosario for your comments. Bye.

Ah questa l'ho già vista ed era bellissima, questo taglio forse è ancora più bello luci favolose Maurizio, un giorno devo venire ad imparare qualcosa in studio da te. Per me e il massimo.

Maybe you are right, Dana, insert more chin is now impossible, but reduce it is possible. Could you try to suggest me a crop? Bye.

Ora la metto  e ti aspetto, ma che categoria suggerisci Maurizio?

Thank you Bill for your opinion.

Thanks for your comments suggestions, and, more important, the

criticisms. Regards.

Thank you Radu.

Thank you Dana for your comment.

Thank you Radu for your comment. Yes the sharpening in the rocks is emphasised a bit by means of Dark contrast filter of the Nik software serie. I wanted to frame and underline the motion of the water, but maybe it is too much. Thank you again for your useful opinion. Bye.

Dear Jay, I like the light of the photo, the expression of the model and the model, she is a nice woman. Maybe I don't like the central crop and the shoulder so half cut at left. Nevertheless it is a nice shot for me and I can't understand the low rating that you have received. Bye.

The color version.

I would like to know your opinion about the black and white version of a

previous shot, which of two do you prefer and does the new crop properly

work? Below the color version. Thank you and regards.

Grazie ancora una volta Murizio.

Molto bella Maurizio. Ciao.

With this shot I wanted to describe the story of a pair of two seniors who have spent their whole lives together. The shot is made from a singole exposure, simply I have placed an image of their wedding behind the roses. The focus is on the old roses, which really make part of the bride’s bouquet, and represent the present. The blurred image refers to the memory of that day. Despite the time and their ages, which are represented by the old roses, they are still together.

Molto bella Maurizio. Bravo.

Thank you Maurizio and Gerard.
