[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
...on the edge of the town in decadence, on the edge of social merge, on the edge of taste, on the edge of reality, 'cause I can't belive, that a medieval pearl like this place once was, became a heap of dark stones, collapsing sacred places, squares and even the graves were profaned and stolen from their stones...


And for the last... it's unbelievable, how the people get by..., doing as best as they can do, with what they earn...,wich is almost nothing!

I deasturated the area arround the window, leaving all details as cables and a modern window on the right.

Well spotted, executed and presented to us, Miuky. It's the contrast of human textures against the harsh stones that strikes me. Tells a lot of a hard life in that area. Yes. life's on the edge....
TFS,

Hi miuky

Good use of desaturation. The man in the window is a superb addition. Wonderful tonal range & sharpness. Tfs!

Great one, M. !
Incredible how this man is peacefull at his window, smoking, in the middle of a building that seems about to fall down.
