I think you we right Alexander to convert this to mono, which allows us to focus on the monument rather than the surrounding vegetation. Posted: 10/03/2023 07:25:58
I agree, I like the use of monochrome. I think you position to get the shrub in front of her dress on the left provided a foreground even if it was very close to the statue, bu it also made it unique. Posted: 10/07/2023 21:57:14
A very nice documentary image Alexander. I agree with Adrian and Stan that monochrome is the right choice for let the observer to focus on the monument.
Kind regards

By the way, Dalida was Italian, her name was Iolanda Cristina
Gigliotti, but she was born in Cairo Egypt, and lived in France... Posted: 10/11/2023 16:16:33

Yes she was an italian singer and actress but I think she was more popular in France... Posted: 10/13/2023 14:22:49
Agreed that B&W was the way to go. This is "somebody else's art" but that seems to be acceptable for travel photos. After all, buildings are also somebody else's art… Posted: 10/29/2023 20:24:13
