A summer day at the lake, a photo from Como, Lombardia

Photographer's Note

I was walking on the main promenade in Bellagio on lake Como when i saw these couples enjoing the view.
Another way to spend a quiet late summer day at the lake away from the noise and chaos of the big cities.

Ciao Alessandro,
bello il formato orizzontale stretto che concentra l'attenzione sulle persone che si godono il bellissimo paesaggio. Bello l'inserimento dell'albero sulla destra, globalmente una composizione molto attraente.
Un caro saluto.

Ol� Alessandro,

Bellagio um dos lugares mais belos da Europa. O Lago Como � todo ele uma beleza.Uma foto foi bem captada com as pessoas apreciar o outro lado do lago e ver os barcos a cruzar as margens.
O formato escolhido em panor滵ico resultou muito bem. Bravo.

Ciao Alessandro,
il Lago di Como, che meraviglia!!!
Ci sono stato una sola volta da bambino.

Ottimo taglio stretto che mostra una scena di quotidianit� con i battelli turistici in transito a movimentare la scena e le persone che si godono il paesaggio.

Di questa immagine sarebbe bello vedere una Large Version.
Non s� perch�, ma mi colpisce molto la signora vestita di blu seduta sulla panchina.

TFS!
Francesco

macjake (98392) 2011-02-23 16:37

hi Alessandro
a very likeable scene, one that most of us can relate to.
i like how the rail wraps around the lower portions, and the dark tree branches to the right.
the air is a bit hazy, perhaps and increase in contrast would help?
beautiful and calming scene.
cheers

Hi Alessandro, an old friend, who has since passed away, told me wonderful stories of Lake Como and how he spent the last few weeks of the last War at Lake Como and how he fell in love with a local Doctors daughter, although he was married back home in South Africa - He went home and stayed married but I felt his heart was always in Lake Como - One day I will visit for his memory and the wonderful love story. I see these love stories continue no matter what age - in Lake Como- a beautiful image and thatnk you for bringing it to me today.. A lovely image and well captured.. Thank you and have a wonderful day. Rich

J_Burke (1285) 2011-02-24 2:25

Alessandro,

Great capture! Your framing is excellent, I like the inclusion of the dark tree branch in the right corner. The people in the image make it for me, the couple on the left captured in great light in contrast to the two seated on the bench is excellent. The boats add a lot of interest in the middle distance too. Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Regards,
James

daddo (28748) 2011-02-24 3:10

Ciao Alessandro. if everything goes to plan I shall be there in September and your photo makes me want to visit even more. What beautiful colours and light. Splendid vista and a well chosen POV. Nice touch to include a little of the vegetation. Ciao. Klaudio.

Ciao Alessandro,
very attractive composition. I like how you cut it here, having only part of the mountain forces us to anticipate something very large there. The photo comprises of several levels and all are very interesting. The boats introduce some action in the middle layer. Two couples watching them add a relaxing mood, even the fragment of the tree adds a nice framing.
I like it very much

JCG (35153) 2011-02-24 8:34

Hello Alessandro,

Which superb panorama and which activity on this splendid lake. I notice that dimensions of your photograph allowed a beautiful large version, but it does not matter, we really benefit from a marvellous point of view, I like much the presence of these two couples of people who animate the image. Thank you Alessandro.

With all my friendships and a very good end of the day,

Jean-Charles

Hello Alessandro,

the framing of your picture is very interesting, you cropped out the tops of the mountains which is very surprising for me, yet it drives the attention to the couples and nice curve of the railing and still the beauty of the landscape is implied and the imagination works.

I love it, brilliant idea.

Best wishes

Romana
