Hi all,

This is my first post on the forum and I thought to start with three shots from my trip to Rome last December. Equipment used was 5D with 17-40 / 4. All c&c is highly appreciated!

You have some very creative framing going on here, and I like the way you've emphasized that constant shade of blue throughout the series.

In 1, I really like the varied textures, and the interplay of sunlight and shadows.

On 2, I find myself squinting a bit -- is it out of focus, or soft? Maybe it's just me.

Nice series.

Thanks for your comments GonzagaJere, much appreciated!

I think you are right about 2, it's a tad soft. Not sure why though, might be a bit out of focus. I'll have to check it closer in Photoshop.

A more appropriate title would have been "A Different Perspective of Rome."

Such a beautiful environment to take images of.

Thanks for sharing.

So true on the title, would've been much better Thanks for your comments!
