Ciao Andrea,
Parma e' una delle cittadine che piu' mi sono piaciute e che visitavo sempre con molto piacere. Bella la prospettiva e il taglio verticale che mette in evidenza i dettagli della pavimentazione. Di difficile gestione la luce, con un gioco di chiaro/scuro che manderebbe in tilt qualsiasi sensore; avrei forse cercato di abbassarmi ancor di piu' per inquadrare piu' pavimentazione ed eliminare una fetta di cielo onde evitare di bruciarla..forse cosi' avresti dato ancor di piu' profondita' al tutto.
Ciao,

Igor
