Howdy Catanialisa,

I was at first attracted to the dramatic romanesque dome in the background, then noticed the outdoor cafe in the shadows, a perfect place to sip some Merlot or what the Catania's recommend?

Have a fine weekend, and enjoy the longer rays of approaching summer.
Sincerely,

Ray

Just a bit of backlight-effect prevailed this, Lisa.
Yet the Dome prominantly rise above the old facade on a little piazza, and give a majestic view on town.
Fine sharp details collected.
Enjoy a nice weekend.

Hi Lisa,

A beautiful shot of a beautiful city.

The lighting here is what really makes this in my humble opinion. The side-lit dome stands proudly above a more shaded building with lovely windows and canopies - but it's not all in shade - it has some lovely lighter patches upon it brought about, I suspect, by reflections of light from the building on the left, this again having wonderfully lit with oblique lighting across its face.

Both the dome and the interesting lamppost are placed perfectly in the frame, balancing one another out.

Lovely muted colours and, as usual, superb detail and sharpness.

A fine dedication to Maurizio!

Beautiful!

Kind Regards,

John.

Hi Lisa
interesting shot.
right away i see the contrasts of old and new.
old architecture, and new age appliances such as air conditioning units on the balconies.
and i like how the 3 buildings are overlapping eachother.
also, they are all different, one looks super clean, the next is grungy looking, and then a dome in the bg.
cool.
have a great weekend, i'll be working night shifts sat and sun.
cheer

Bon cadrage vertical et joli travail de posttraitement pour équilibrer les différences de lumière.

Ciao Cara, Apart from some graffiti & that's not obvious here, I saw very little if any sign of modern-day Vandalism ;-) Nice shot with the Dome very prominent & attracting the attention but quickly noticed the detail in the buildings, lovely lamp & of course the people enjoying some refreshments. Sptitz ? In Sicily most unlikely, more like coffee, granita & gelato. Well done, nice scene & very well captured.
Take care
Santo
