Hi, friend!
San Marino! Yes, yes! I remember. In San Marino I was two times. It is very small but oryginal place. In San Marino is interesting architecture and mountains nature.

Hallo Achim,
Nice combination of two architectural different styles, but that complement each other perfectly.
The setting is elegant and the image has a great quality, a great light and a few beautiful colors.
The alteration of the distortion of vertical lines is perfect, without losing the perspective.
Excellent shot, clean and with a good composition.
Best regards,
Josep

Hi Mr President
Nice Dominant Point of view on the basilica with intersting lights.
I am thinking just for a wider position you or your zoom to have the whole staircases.
Please don't think that I am a troublemaker :)
Cheers

Hello Achim,

A fine piece of ancient architecture, super texture in the walls and great details!
I like the composition as the tight framing gives full emphasis to the structure...

Greetings,

Hola Achim.
Wonderful composition with the beautiful architecture of the Basilica, very well captured with nice details, colors and frame.
Well done, TFS.
Best regards.

Hello Achim
From your high POV, this looks very different. Like the red tiled roofs & the silhouette of the bells in the bell tower, through that small opening. Completely contrasting architecture styles between the two buildings in fine light. Fine work !

Hi Achim,

The point of view leads our eyes toward the basilica and is showing with precision the details and colors of the architecture of the building. The light is enhancing the colors. The subject is well frame. Have a nice day.
