Hello.
This is Dubrovnik.A wonderful city in southern Croatia.A jewel in the sea.
The city centre is surrounded by high walls and by a wonderful sea and it is a WORLD CULTURAL HERITAGE SITE of UNESCO.
This view is from south along the road running between mountains and sea.
I have many shots from this POV but I will post the one I started from.I have choosen that one because so I had not to resize ( only cropping ) and so I didn't lose much quality in PP which was...
cropping,contrast,light,NeatImage,sharpening,saturation,framing.

regards...Francesco

Nothing more to say: A jewel, indeed!!!

Classis view of this wonderful city, but it is always nice to see it again. POV is well known but your composition is very good, one of the best I've seen from this location.
Great work Francesco, thanks for sharing the beauty of my country with us here.
Regards,
Robert

many TFS it

What a wonderful view Francesco. This is so different from the towns of New Zealand, and I like to see it. Lighting and colours are good.
If you didn't have to resize, what size photos do you take on your camera? The bigger the photo the better.
Well shown, thank you
Janice

Hi Francesco,
This is a very beautiful photo to show us this marvelous city. I like this POV that show it all to us. I like this 3 different layers the see, the city and the trees. Great shot.
Luc

very nice view francesco :)
good composition, i saw the workshop, you did a very good job cropping the original image
good PP to bring out the colors

i think there's still more red in the roofs of the houses which looks a little overexposed, try using the burn tool on the roofs to bring out those colors :)

i did a little workshop with the burn, hope you don't mind :)

I am particularly touchy when it comes to pictures of Dubrovnik because I like it so much. I would call this a classical shot of this rightly called "Jewel ".
Nicely sharpened and focused on a brigt suuny summer day. Like it.

Beautiful photograph Francesco. This really is a jewel of a place, you made it look like something straight out of a holiday magazine. Great work.

Hi Francesco,
It is indeed a jewel. What a colourful photo. Great job.
Sunil

When I see the photo you started, it's not a good sharp photo. Did you scan this one ?
And don't you do something wrong with the scan ? Was the negative unsharp to ?
Groetjes, Giuseppe.

Excellent PP work Francesco. Great colours, good POV. Always hard in my opinion getting true colours in bright sunshine, you did well. TFS

Tibor

Hello Francesco,

A great POV giving us a lovley view of beautiful city within walls. The architecture is wonderful very interesting. Beautiful colors captured. Thanks for the wonderful notes. Very nice Francesco.

Peace and Love everyday!
Kevin

Very nice picture of Dubrovnik. Wonderful colours and light.
Perhaps a little too much sharpened but very good indeed.

Ciao Francesco,

looking at this photo makes me longing to go there. Wonderful view - the POV you have chosen is perfect. The town is so perfectly shown, with it's fantastic, brown-orange roofs, the marina looks like the parking for cars - only why it's so turquoise-blue? :-) Great shot! tfs

Hello Francesco! Working against glare from the water and the sun, you have produced a lovely portrait of this beautiful city! Impressive! Interesting to see the variants of blue in the water. Well done! Thank you, Linda
