[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I felt the need for a change of location...I took this picture in San Marino.
San Marino is an enclave in Italy,on the border between the "regioni" of Emilia Romagna and Marche. Its topography is dominated by the Apennines mountain range, and it has a rugged terrain.
The highest point in the country, Monte Titano, is situated at 749 metres (2,457 ft) above sea level.
San Marino is the third-smallest country in Europe, with only Vatican City and Monaco being smaller.
An alternative title for the shot would have been "view of the view" as I was standing in one of the three towers that are symbolic / representaive for the city, and had an elevated view of the walls. I especially enjoyed the geometric composition of the walls, they almost look like a labirinth.

Hi black dream iwory,
I was in San Marino once, ale had not camera. Pretty place and good fotograifa. I congratulate and greet. Wiesiek

Looks like a Great Chiana wall.

Hi, Diana -
Very nice. Great POV from above it all; this really gives a sense of the height. Sharpness shows the texture of the stone; the sunlight gives it a warm feel even in the absence of color. Great work.

Frumoasa poza, buna ideea s-o transformi in sepia. Excelenta claritate.

Super!!!

Textura este nemaipomenita iar POV-ul este inedit.
Bravo

Merhaba myfriend Dream. ..
Very good capture, my friend. Excellent POV and sharp details. The colours look natural. Congratulations!

buna Diana.
remarcabil dinamismul imaginii. cred ca vazuta pe un ecran mare te cam ia cu ameteala si te-nfigi in scaun sa nu cazi.
sepia pare sa fie alegerea buna, desi as fi vrut sa vad si varianta color...poate ca verdele vegetatiei contura zidurile intr-un mod interesant.
foarte faina, felicitari.

ps.titlul meu ar fi fost "vertigo"

This one has an excellent POV. Great use of PP techniques, especailly the sharpening filter to give the grainy feel and the sepia for the old look. Excellent work!
cheers,
Cristian

Janek Kloss

i'm too scared to look as i don't like heights. nice pov, i think,can't really tell as my eyes are closed.

only joking. great pov and compo.
i do find it slightly uneasy to look at as i really have vertigo. this must mean you have taken an excellent pic, yet again.

Very nice view. It is kinda dizzy up there!

Hi Diana

Excellent POV, composition and architectural detail.
Very sharp image, like the PP work.
Good capture.

Regards Derek

This is an amazing shot Black Dream,
I love how you used the lines and architecture in this POV
to create a unique and completely original design!
Superb shot, great work.
