Hello Magaly,
Excellent composition looking superb in back and white. Fine oblique perspective with the man in the white suit and hat well placed and contributing much to the overall success of the image. The image has a well balanced range of tones and exceptional clarity.

Bonjour Magaly,
thank you for your kind wish! The photo you are presenting today is interesting for its theme and structure. In my opinion, the result would have been even more elegant if the foreground columns were not cropped, but, at the same time I appreciate very much your timing to capture the passing lady at exactly that spot. She adds interest to the scene and enhances the impact of the perspective and the repeating architectural patterns. You have done a lovely work with this atmospheric monochrome. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great evening,
Ourania

Ciao Magaly
molto bella questa diagonale, le colonne snelle, gli archi e il b&w, mettono bene in evidenza l'architettura.
Perfetta la composizione con la presenza della persona.
Buon we

Hi Magaly!
Looks like a very beautiful cloister and we can really feel history here. Very good diagonal and the woman is well placed. I like it in b&w and the light is very good also!
