A beutiful rendition of the image the solid base of the shadowed walls really launches the fantastic shapes created by the windows....it is an image with depth and enough shadow details to entice the eye to probe deeper....very nicely balanced.

Ciao Lisa,
This another photo of the Galleria Umberto is also gorgeous. Fantastic grafismo, wonderful POV. Were you lying on the floor just under the dome? Haha, I would like to see this scene! Incredible depth.

Happy New Year for you and your family

love this one Lisa
the depth is staggering and the geometric shapes are picked out well against the differing lighting.
i can just imagine you lying on the floor taking this one. Been there done that ;-)

Did a wee workshop to reduce the suns effect on the right hand side of the image it was pulling my eye over too much to the right
hope you like

cheers
John

Ciao Lisa,
Beautiful graphic work indeed. Abstract detail of that old place. Well done, have a good day.

snunney (130967) 2010-12-28 4:00

Hello Lisa,
A splendid symmetrical composition of this wonderful roof, which is reminiscent of a spider's web. The detail is quite fascinating. There is some over exposure on the right, but nothing major and it certainly doesn't spoil our overall enjoyment of the image. Hope you had an enjoyable Christmas. Still having problems with the back and having to keep on with the painkillers. Hopefully, all will come right in the end.

Ciao Lisa,
a quanto pare anche tu ti diverti a fare foto grafiche dove la simmetria gioca il ruolo principale.
L'immagine č ben catturata e il grafismo č molto elevato.

Penso perň che avresti dovuto tagliare leggermente sul lato destro in quanto rispetto il lato sinistro c'č piů margine e quindi la foto in questo modo non non č perfettamente simmetrica.

TFS!

Ciao Lisa

This wide angle lens gives very good result. The angle you took is perfect . The graphism is spectacular. I would be very proud to have taken the same.

Have a nice day

Impressive graphic work. Great POV of the magnificent dome of this elegant gallery.

Howdy Lisa,

Glad you went the extra prone position to create this appealing architectural kaleidoscope of curves and lines and classical windows, all in fine detail and nicely cropped.

Best wishes for the New Year, cheers,
Ray

Lisa,
Beautiful composition that shows lines and forms. This image certainly works in color but I see you also have a B&W version that is likewise excellent.

Nice Job.

Hola Lisa ........

Grafismo napolitano,
en un encuadre muy interesante de simetría,
buen gusto y "dolor de cuello" :))

Me gusta; enhorabuena.

Un abrazo.

Silvio1953 (220605) 2010-12-28 14:21

Ciao Lisa, magnifico grafismo, splendida luce, oggi sono stato qua sotto ma non sono riuscito a farla bella come la tua, bravissima, ciao Silvio
PS grazie per avermi ricordato la mia n. 1400, ormai ho perso il conto:)

macjake (98262) 2010-12-28 22:33

Hey Lisa
this one is beautiful, you're so lucky, and i'm so jealous! this one is a keeper.
funny how a photo can have so much depth and height, this shot has tremendous amounts of both, seemingly going in all different directions..its almost like a maze for the eyes! the eyes are unsure which way to look, its an amazing effect you pulled off here. even the central circular dome, if you look long enough at it, it seems to move!
excellent compo, excellent graphism
PS
i also like your previous post, it looks like the scene was shot in 1890, has a real old time atmosphere to it!
have a great one!
Craig

jjcordier (79299) 2010-12-28 23:18

Magnifique image de cette galerie au fort pouvoir graphique. Tu aurais peut-ętre pu légčrement couper la partie droite de l'image pour diminuer le "coup de soleil" et parfaire la symétrie?
Amicalement
JJ

Hi Lisa
Seasons greetings and have a great New Year. This spectacular. I'm amazed at similar complexes in Europe with the covered arcades created around old buildings.
cheers
Ian

mauro61 (53411) 2010-12-29 0:57

ciao Lisa,
grafismi e simmetrie che si intrecciano regalandoci una splendida immagine.
Ottima la resa e il controllo della luce.
Buon fine anno e auguri da tutti qui per te.
maurizio

ktanska (44468) 2010-12-29 3:30

Hi Lisa,
Slight turn of the camera and the graphic appearance of this view is quite different. Beautiful piece of architecture. That glass roof fits well with classic buildings.

jafadabret (56501) 2010-12-29 8:03

Bonjour Lisa,
Le graphisme de cette verričre est superbe et tu as su la mettre en valeur de façon remarquable. Beau travail d'architecture et de photo !
Amicalement
Jacques

Mari63 (4173) 2010-12-29 13:10

Ciao Carissima,
trascorso bene il natale?
Che POV! La volta sembra venirti incontro. Bello il grafismo. Ottima la gestione della luce.
Ciao Mari

hispic (9658) 2010-12-29 19:15

Ciao Lisa
Beautiful image composed graphically attracts me strongly. It's really remarkable that lines of metal ribs of the glass dome are accurately rendered without jagged lines.
Best wishes, Hisashi

ikeharel (112439) 2010-12-29 21:07

Very good upward depth ( like DOF looking up...), Lisa.
Clear details, a bit of backlight - but altogether a perfect dimensional inclusive.
Happy New Year 2011,
Ike
