Photographer's Note
Duration of about 200 years taken to built this tower started on Aug.9th 1173, by Bonanno Pisano. Just when third floor was completed - it begun to tilt.
From this angel we can see the most tilted 4.8m / 5.8 degrees from it's base.
Located in the Piazza-dei-Miracoli (WS's picture), really a miracle to see.
And no, I did not climb up there.
Ike
Location of the Torre: 43.723, 10.3965
*** I left the corner of the Baptisterium uncropped as a scale-contrast to the Tower.

Hello Ike,
A classic postcard from Pisa that benefits from a very attractive ambient light. I like also the pleasant natural colours and from good sharpness. I think I would be inclined to crop the left hand side slightly to remove the edge of the Baptistry, which tends to draw the attention away from the tower.

Welcome back dear Ike - bentornato
How was your holiday? I bet you could easily have taken another 2-3 weeks! But it is good that you saw la Bella Italia. No matter how many times I see this amazing tower, I never tire of it. Here you have captured some impressive details. The intricacy of the architecture is a true marvel. Excellent colour contrasts and sharpness. The vertical frame is good. I would probably crop out the part of the building on the left. Wonderful job, I look forward to seeing more.
Un caro abbraccio

Hi Ike.
Welcome to your trip to Italy, we began to see the extraordinary results.
A classic and no less arrogant image of the Tower of Pisa.
Fantastic light and beautiful colors, the presence of people give us the proportions of the monument, an ideal image and enjoy.
As a personal opinion, I will say that I would have cut what little is left of the building, it would have distracted the eye and further enhance the composition.
Have a great evening and my most cordial greetings.
Luis.

Many thanks Ike.
Many years ago, they were afraid of loosing the tower and had to counterbalance it with huge lead weigts.
It appears majestic here over the blue skies and it's a good idea to show a partial scaling building.
Shalom.

La tour de Pise, difficile de ne pas la reconnaître, elle est toujours penchée. La qualité d'image est là et l'éclairage est au max pour nous présenter cette merveille d'architecture qui s'élève dans un merveilleux ciel bleu.
Toutes mes félicitations,

Ho letto il tuo reply.
Pisa e poi la Spagna hanno dominato e conquistato con le armi lamia terra la Sardegna.
Adesso, i nostri pastori, come la mia foto.
Muoiono di tumore o cancro.
Proiettili a uranio impoverito .
La Sardegna è una grande base militare.
Ma molti morti....

Hello Ike,
You're capturing well this architecture by a good composition and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to this famous Pisa tower built in medieval times. Surely, It's surprised and a mystery that this tower maintain th posture with the tilt. The whole is harmonized well by a good arrangement and beauriful/bright color combination of the lawn with green grass, Pisa Tower with silver and blue sky with the tasteful cloud.
Kind regards,
mikio
