Very lovely and romantic shot. The colors alone are breathtaking. I really like this... a quiet moment on a quiet beautiful street.

Colours and lights & contrast are great Giorgio. :-) POV also and street-curve with two people lead our eyes in depth.
Pigeon is a +!
Regards, Don.

What a lovely street, and with lovers walking hand in hand, it's just perfect to make this loving atmosphere the main object ot this pic. So much nice architectural details. The light in the archway where the lovers are located really brings our eyes to this specific point. But inspite of the top of the lamp that is missing I feel that it's nice that you have kept it. I like how it makes the top angle of a triangle, the lines going to the lovers and to the big door on the right side. If I was asked how to reframe it, I would choose to cut the right part with the half cair and door frame but keep the little lamp and a little on the left side to cut out the drain pipe. But even with these things included, there are so much beautiful things to look at that I don't find it disturbing.

And excellent framing Giorgio...The way the road is leading the eye straight to the couple in the end is fantastic...DOF is very effective, having everything in focus and colors and sharpness of the best quality...
In the other hand the whole image is very atmospheric and - i will dare to say - romantic!

I really like the atphosphere of this picture.
It's a beautiful street, with nice colors, everything so european :)
The picture is very sharp but the colors are too cold for me, i did a workshop to change this.

Bel colpo, Giorgio! REnde benissimo il clima di borgo italico. I due piccioncini in fondo sono proprio la ciliegina sulla torta. Come colori per� mi piaciuto molto il ws di jrenier.

Fantastic composition. All the details in this high quality photo are wonderful. Thanks for sharing this one.

The title attracted me and is very apt. Composition is very good and your contrast enhancement is well done. Light and subject matter is very good and the position of the silhouetted lovers adds strong mood to the scene. Instead of croping out the chair, I would have been tempted to clone it out, leaving the doorway as it is. An excellent sharp street scene.

Fantastic photo Giorgio,
Realy a street fot the painter of the photographer, the angle you took it is good, the sharpnes and the lines are good even as the colours, fantastic job again.

A beautiful old street, full of details and textures, which I like. I don't like persons in a picture, only when they are useful and here they are:-))
I only would have cropped the chair in the right-bottom, but don't delete the lamppost above it:-)))
Great shot, nice light and very clear, Giorgio !

Buongiorno Giorgio,
Your Northeastern Italy collection is great and I have to browse through it all soon. This photo grabbed my attention by it vivid colours, excellent light and well balanced compostition. You captured a nice place here a you did it very well. The lovers are a fine detail, even though we are not in Verona :-)

Thanks for sharing and keep up posting. I love Northern Italy.

Marek
