A lovely street shot, with that feeling of motion enhancing the ambience of the scene. Superb contrasts, and perfect in mono. Very nicely presented, Giovanni

j'aime beaucoup le côté dynamique de la photo, tout cela sous l'œil impassible de ce monument historique hors du temps. j'aime aussi l'horizontale créée par ces parapluies situés au même niveau, avec pour contre-point les verticales de l'église ? Bravo ;)
