Indeed, Dave, and with such good views like this one from Florence there can be so many things that one wishes to. It is of course always the same town, but it presents another face every day, or perhaps also every few hours.
Thanks for telling me about the details and the colours. The image is quite consistent with your idea and so it is a very good one for that.
Cheers!
Nick

Hi Nick, thanks for the comment, and you got a featured comment, too! I guess each version brings out a different mood and atmosphere here depending on what you want to do with the shot. I mainly wanted to ensure I kept detail in the darker foreground areas and the colours of the buildings, but I like your version too.
Dave.

Very descriptive shot of not only the fantastic details of that fantastic city, but also of the special atmosphere that it has when under clouds. The colors and the shapes seem to merge with the presence of that muted light, which provides a special sense for the age and the meaning of Florence in its historical civilizatory role.
I can't be really detached in this comment, since I was standing exactly there, at Piazza Michelangelo, trying to get some images of the city, but still the enormous DoF and the great details are above all suspicion here. The gradual and subtle increase of the haze toward the depth enhances the huge space of the image even more.
Only as a question here: Could a bit more contrast do good? I adjusted the levels for that (attachment) but then the subtle diffuse light of the image became much weaker. So, which of both possibilities do you think matches better the view? I think yours comes much closer to that atmosphere.
Cheers!

Adjusted levels for contrast and the diffuse light became much weaker. |

A beautiful architectural scene with amazing depth to it my friend. The tones (so Italian) are faithfully reproduced and so very natural. I love that bridge with the buildings upon it in particular and how I wish we had retained them in this country. Great work my friend. All the best.....Ray

What a beautiful place Florence is!
I have never been there myself. I couldn't believe the images my son brought back with him when they went on a school trip a few years ago. I was very jealous. Now you are making me jealous with your latest images.

All the beauty & ancient glory of this great city comes out in your photo, Dave. I've been there several times & tasted my first "frulate" there. Nice silverware to be found there, too.
Thank you for your comment on my photo. I scanned it from an almost forgotten film-photo taken at some time in the 1980's
Ragards,

Try to learn the basic Italian. It shall help you a lot when you try to get around....;)
Florence is such a great city, you've captured it really well.
