Photographer's Note
Early April is still low season on the Lake Como. As one can see on the photo, the trees are cut and with only traces of green leaves and this pergola is covered with glicynia, but here still in small buds. So, I chosed b&w version because there is not much colour, only Buxus sempervirens is green.
As I want continue my travelogue, two additional photos in WS. There are many boats to other places, like Varenna, Menaggio, Como. In the other Villa Serbelloni.
Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni stands at the end of the Bellagio promontory, pride of this medieval village know as the pearl of the lake for its beauty and privileged position.
The hotel actually enjoys a breathtaking location, right in the heart of Lake Como area, and offers extraordinary holidays since 1873, when it was transformed from a private house into a luxury hotel, soon appreciated by the top of European aristocracy.
Say goodbye to the madding city crowds and be prepared to spend a relaxing holiday close to yourself and your beloved ones, surrounded by tradition, elegance, good taste, and a touch of discrete exclusivity.
This hotel advert rather for fun - a double room with lake view costs 750 EUR a night (and a small chance to get it!)

Czesc Malgorzata! Ciekawa kompozycja. Pustka az dzwoni. Mnie sie podoba. Chociaz zaraz kolezanki i koledzy beda narzekac, ze przy stoliku nikt nie siedzi. A przeciez, gdyby ktos na tym zdjecie siedzial przy stoliku, to zdjecie to byloby o czyms innym. Klaniam sie.

Tu pustka jest usprawiedliwiona choćby tytułem, ale także dobrze podkreśla spokój tej okolicy. W B&W wyszło bardzo ciekawie.
Pozdrawiam dzisiejszą sąsiadkę.

Hi Malgorzata!
Black and white is pretty suitable to the image!
The composition is a true highlight and it was ably managed by you! I really like all the repetition that goes all the way to the background of this image, with pillars, trunks, tables and vases! Result of a photographer's gifted eyes!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Composizione classica e molto ben realizzata col porticato a fare da cornice a questo paesaggio meraviglioso e a conferire all foto tanta profondità e senso di ambientanzione. Un ottimo B&N che ci fa ricordare le cartoline di una volta. viva la bassa stagione!
Complimenti per l'ottimo lavoro,
Donato

Witaj Malgosiu,
Pusto i cicho (zaznaczam, ze zapoznalem sie z trescia dyskusji;) a B&W oddaje w doskonaly sposob ten smutnawy nastroj. Ciekawa fota. Widoczek w tle jest naprawde zacny.
Pozdrawiam,

Hi Malgorzata,
Black and white works well here too! I can see the colours well enough in the WS:s, also very good pictures!
I like the repetition of pillars and trees in front of the magnificient view over the lake and I like the note as well!
Kind regards

This looks like an old photo brought back to life for our enjoyment. It is really very nice and the B&W is very well done. A squared crop to avoid the left post was another option. What do you think?
The WS's are beautiful too.

Hi Malgorzata,
I like this very attractive perspective made with the pergola, the trees and the flowerpots. The black and the white allows to imagine the summer and the play of the shadows, the changeable colors on the lake it is the beginning of season then everything is possible!
Have a nice evening
Diane
