ok, now a serious picture...

after "Karate sisters" that was done just for fun, I'd like to show you an image I'm quite proud of.

This is a three shot horizontal stitching of the view from the highest tower of S. Gimignano.
The village is called "City of the towers" because there are still thirteen stone towers (that is quite a number for a small town like that!).

It seems that in the XIV sec. there were 72 towers, symbols of power and prestige, one for each family group of the city... :)



The stitching was very hard this time because I did not align the camera with the horizon, but instead I made a downward movement with it. I find the final effect very appealing.
Altough the color version looks really good to me I thought that sepia would have improved the ancient look of the place... but I'd like to hear what ou think about it.
:)

Have a great week!

"Sorry guys I'm uploading this print again and again because DA keeps saying the file is corrupted... but of course is not..." :(

Yes, i know that... several towers without a sense or a function, just to show how rich the family is...

The funny ( or tragic ) thing is , that they sometimes didn`t have the knowledge to build such a thing, and you can imagine what happens to the buildings in the surrounding area if a tower falls apart...

I'm sorry for being in love
With the girl i cannot have
I'm sorry for trying so hard
Trying to make things happen...
I'm sorry for loving you so much
Because you can't love me the way i do
You are 100% correct the Sepia adds an old world charm. Your composition is great & it adds with the sepia it looks like you are viewing into history. :clap:
sepia was a perfect choice.
very ancient mood (although there are little cars... :giggle:) :thumbsup:
