[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I'm not ready to leave San Marino yet...so here's a street lamp that my eyes caught looking up for a perspective.
I chose to desaturate the background because I wanted to enhance, by contrast, the colors of the decorative glass. Also for visual intrest I kept colored the shutter and the wires that run diagonally on the wall.
The lamp was placed at a too big height for me to capture it without a digital zoom and I really, desperately wanted to get a closeup. This zoom combined with the fact that I didn't have a tripod that would have also helped with the steadiness of my hands, may have cost me a little bit too much. The shot hasn't got the clarity that I had hoped for, and at that time I didn't realize it...
Anyway, to make a long story short, I confessed my mistake hoping I could receive some advice on how not to repeat it. Thank you!

I like it. You were successful in creating a nice contrast between the colorful glass and the more drab background. The lamp is a really good subject, too. If you lost any sharpness by use of the telephoto and/or lack of a tripod, it is imperceptible to my (admittedly inexperienced) eye. Very good image.

Frumoasa captura lampii, ai reusit sa rezolvi problemele din momentul fotografiatului, despre care vorbeai, dupa parerea mea, compozitia, culorile si POV-ul sunt bune.
Sfaturi de fotografiat in conditii nefavorabile nu sunt inca in masura sa iti dau, mai am si eu o gramada de invatat din tehnicile fotografiatului, abia acum am inceput sa fiu si eu mai atenta la reguli si sa nu mai fac totul doar "dupa ureche".
O zi frumoasa,
Sorina

Beautiful capture. The lamp is great. Beautiful composition.

My regards

Teresat

Nice detail on the lamp, clarity in the shot looks OK.
I have added a workshop, hope you don't mind.

Regards Derek

Hi Ivory.Very interesting lamp and good work.
Best regards, Bosko.

very nice lamp the colors are lovely. only one small thing that bothers me, the red shutter at the top of the screen. i would have toned it to grey inkeeping with the wall. that is just a personal thing.
i try to carry a monopod with me as i find that this can be used in situations where a tripod would be clumsy.
take care.

In cazuri din astea, din cauza ca zumu' meu optic e slabut tare, eu prefer sa fac un cadru mai larg si sa fac crop dupa aceea pentru ca arata mai fain
