January 2025 - Basilica di San Francesco
About the Image(s)
This image was taken on a trip to Italy this past September. We had a day in Siene and had a long walk back to our bus from city center. Along the road back was a good view of the Basilica di San Francesco.

The first thing that strikes me concerning this image is that it feels like a painting that should be on the wall of an Italian dining establishment (pass the pasta please). I like the leading line of the curved street and its compliment, the curved line on the wall on the right side of the image.
I would suggest several crops to clean up what I see as distractions. I don't like the bright shutters on the left edge, nor the little bit of clutter on the road at the bottom edge and also the area to right right of the pipe on the right edge. My crop suggestions may be seen in the attached image. Just my 2 cents worth. Posted: 01/05/2025 14:55:28

I think you are spot on now that I am looking at my image versus your crop. Posted: 01/05/2025 16:56:47
While I agree with Larry, I liked the shades of cloud.
Michael, did you do any edits of the cloud? Posted: 01/12/2025 15:17:44
