Galleria Umberto I, a photo from Naples, Campania

Photographer's Note

Early shopping mall; this important glass and steel domed shopping gallery had its heyday in the early part of the 20th century, when fashionable residents of Naples came here to shop, to see and be seen. It was built in 1890 and seen as a symbol of the modernization of Naples. Above a central mosaic paving of the zodiac on the marble floor below, the dome is 57m high.

HI Yves, this is another beautiful place I saw from Italy. Excellent architecture you capture here. Well done with light and sharpness. Good work. Sothy

Beautiful detail; I love the sharpness. The bright blue sky coming in is a nice bonus.

Looks like this is an HDR Yves! I like it, but it's just a bit too fake looking - the range isn't showing enough contrast throughout the image. It's great though, I love seeing these images.

Nicely seen, captured and processed,

Brian
