Ciao Alexander.
Bella composizione. Il gioco luci ombre crea un'immagine 3D molto suggestiva.
Comgratulazioni Renzo

Hi Alexander.

The only thing I dislike is the overexposition on the bottom of the picture.
A really pity.

Anyway, if we forget this little thing (from my POV of course), I like the picture. Excellent simetry.

Dag Alexander,

Indeed a pity for the top of building, but the decoration are not broke, very nice composition and excellent addition the lady between the columns, excellent for scanning picture.

Best regards,
John

I like your composition here Alexander, and I don't think the crop at the top spoils it too much.
Although it has resulted in some blown-out highlights, I like the high contrast black and white conversion, and it has picked ou the detail in the stonework nicely.
I'm a bit undecided as to whether the lonely photographer really adds anything to your image or not. I think I'd have to see two versions before I could make up my mind.
Good work.

Fantastic combination of light ad shadow, black and white. I know the place and I guess that it was not easy but the result is appealing.

You captured wonderful detail in the decoration, especially in the shaded part. I like your chosen POV from the corner. The light was certainly very strong, which gave you the strong contast suited to B&W.

Hi Alexander
I see that you are having a bit of a black and white phase! It actually works well here since there is a good play on light and shadows. Your image is quite graphical and I like the candid capture of the woman. A well composed and successful shot.
Best wishes

Hi Alexander,
the best part to take pictures. Good crop and exposition. The woman is well catched between the pilars.

Hi Alex,

I like the composition a lot. I think the light was very high here, it sort of floods the image a bit for me. Thats maybe the only drawback here. I like, as I said, how you framed this scene and the architectural details.

Bonjour Alexander,
Belle récupération de l'image. Ce monument est toujours très intéressant à regarder quand bien même il soit paru sur TE plusieurs fois.
Le noir et blanc donne un aspect très original.
Merci, Alexander, pour ce partage très agréable.
Amitiés.

Hi Alexander,
A successful scan and tilt correction to display this scene very well. The lighting is superb, the lady photographer enhances, and the lines and graphism are great. You did a superb job of rehabilitating your old photograph.

Hi Alex, great b&w composition which has good detail. Nice pov showing the photographer between the pillars. That been said the pillars at the bottom centre seem slightly overexposed. otherwise well done.

Hi Alexander. Pity you had to crop the point at the top, but you can't have everything, especially when dealing with old photos, those taken when you never imagined you would be scanning them for TE in 5 years' time. It's not a bad scan, although a bit contrasty in th bottom half. The main feature to me is the pose and lighting of the photographer. You captured her in a moment that conveys a little bit of 'action' in an otherwise static graphical image. I haven't been to the Alhambra for 29 years! So, well worth uploading, I'd say! Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Alexander, interesting to see this lonely photographer appearing in the light in the middle of those columns, BW was the good choice here I think...

This one also, wonderful detailed graphical work accompanied with beautiful architecture and play of the shadows, the lady adds a lot to this shot.
Very nice :)
