Description I couldn't think of a proper title for this . . . so let's go with Italian, shall we?

Taken on one of many adventures with in Long Beach, California.


[EDIT] Listened to Phil, I think I do like it better now.

I like the way the photo's fading out at the edges but then you can see the contrast in the rough texture of the stone.
beautiful picture

Great shot Brandon!
The focus is spot on, and the composition working very well with the lions situated at the angle on the right side of the shot.
I'd suggest a square crop perhaps though, I don't like the gap in the pillar at the very top of the image, and the extra faint light at the top. Feels too close to the top edge.

Overall, really liking it man.

like it better? I didn't really know what you meant about the upper left side of the picture. Are you talking about the way the column disappears into the shadows?

FlippinPhil In reply to novelhill [2009-11-02 23:51:04 +0000 UTC]

I do, I do. Upper left side? Never mentioned anything about the upper left side, just the top of the image that you have sorted out. I like the pillar fading into the shadows to be honest.
