Chasing balloons (for my birthday!)...., a photo from Florence, Tuscany

Photographer's Note

Well these aren't balloons..It's the shadow of a lamp at Piazza della Repubblica, central square of Florence..When a friend of mine saw this picture told me that it reminded him of balloons!
So i'm posting this photo today to celabrate my 25th birthday with all of you!!!

Piazza della Repubblica... Aaahh, i have some great memoirs there. I was also there on my birthday and will definitely be there again one day. You present yourself a most untouristy photo from this touristy renaissance city, and it is very good.
Regards,
Deniz

Χρυσούλα καλησπέρα,
αν και λίγο καθυστερημένα σου εύχομαι Χρόνια πολλά για τα 25α γενέθλιά σου,μέ αυτή την όμορφη και αρτίστικη φωτογρφαία..
Το κάθετο κάδρο δίνει άλλη αισηητική στην μαυρόασπρη σύνθεση.

Σε χαιρετώ,Δάνος

Hi Chrysoula,

This is a very interesting and imaginative shot 1 The degree of sharpness of the shadows and the gradation of the light makes it a great composition.

Dear Chrysoula,
I have seen most of your shots. The way you view staircases, heights and moving people is impressive and something to learn from.
This shot is well taken. The way you have presented it changes the perspective from 'walk on the concrete' to 'baloons'. Great POV I would say. Good hard light photography. You are now a favourite that I would follow.
Cheers,
Satyakki
