This has the same feel as your April and November images--same camera? The composition of the scene is most interesting. The colors seem quite distorted, but I've not been able to shift them so that the scene feels more real.   Posted: 08/01/2022 19:27:40

I like your image. For me it is fun and very "artsy". I especially like all of the doors. The composition is very inviting with the arched entry leading into the courtyard.   Posted: 08/08/2022 15:46:54

This looks like some kind of manipulating program was used. It looks too unnatural for me.   Posted: 08/08/2022 20:29:14

If you look it carefully, you might notice that the image is a very small amount off straight. So I opened it in Photoshop, created a blank canvas and pasted it to the blank canvas. I then straightened it using image/transform/distort. Following that I filled in the blank space at the top using the edit/fill/content aware and followed that by using the clone tool as necessary, As a final touch, I copied the "brick" lines at the top that needed to be replaced.   Posted: 08/12/2022 13:05:41

When I first looked at the photoI I thought it was a watercolor painting with a little mysteriousness to the scene. I like the composition with the archway giving a nice entry way to the interesting courtyard and a little peek at the doors to the left.   Posted: 08/13/2022 11:38:55

I like the arch and other geometric shapes. The open doors seem to be inviting people to pass through them. The view through the arch give the image a great deal of depth. It has been about 32 years since I was in Europe, but my memory of small towns in Europe makes me think the colors are reasonably accurate.   Posted: 08/19/2022 23:30:28
