Ciao Valter,
nice the view of this B/W scenery with the man to walk in the dark arc
to the well lighted backdrop of the scene.I like the excellent light management between the dark and the lighted parts of the image.Well done.

Regards,Danos

Ciao Valter
un gran benvenuto, ad averne di cos� belli.
La tua passione per il b&w ci mostra un mondo diverso e affascinante, ci sono passato diverse volte da qui, ma in questo modo sembra una cosa nuova.
Ottima foto, � una ripetizione piacevole e meritata.
Saluti
Carlo

Caro Valter

Una foto di grande mistero ed atmosfera. Non avrei mai indovinato che stiamo in San Gimignano. Ottima scelta il bianconero qui, dando anche piu' struttura e "timelessness" all'immagine. Il signore, con coppola, camminando in controluce evoca questo senso di storia e giorni passati.

Divertiti il tuo tempo con La Stellina. Vorrei vedere quel grande sorriso di tuo che solo la Stellina puo fare.

Un abbraccio
Lisa

Have a good day my friend

Hello Valter,
You have again used the B&W treatment very well. This is also a good composition of the interesting vault and the man walking through the dark tunnel towards the people in the courtyard. It's a good combination of architecture and life.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ciao Valter,
Impressive entrance guarded by those statues. I like the mysterious passage, I guess the arrival is worth .

Hi Valter
This shot has a mysterious feel to it, Good monochrome & architecture and there is a lot of detail here which can be revealed by a shadow/highlight. The stark contrasty person is a strong pointer in the dark alley and that's what makes them inherently what they are. You've captured the atmosphere very well & the exposure appears to be spot-on.and quiet dramatic shot with good hints of the background. Well done, TFS
Best regards
