Wow love this image Charlotte and well deserved placing in contest.
The extended shadows draw you in to the old church.
Lighting, composition and editing are all great.

A very beautiful and creative photo presented here. Your composition shades tones and angle is very well thought out and executed. Love the limited colors and black background. Well done!!

The capture of this beautiful antique is so skilled. The shadows protruding from the lovely building bring life too. It is indeed something old as well as beautiful. Best wishes in the contest.

Charlotte,
A great & beautiful picture of the Cloisters of San Michele on Isola di San Michele with the shadows of the pillars radiating from the corner & drawing the eye to the sunlight in the centre courtyard. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques& sharp focus. Good luck in the contest,
Susan

Brilliant capture.Captivating cloisters bathed in the warm glow of the sun cast enchanting shadows that gracefully extended across the tranquil scene. A perfect moment frozen in time, where history meets serenity. - Bravo! It's a SIX!
