I am happy to give the victory to this photo, which is different from all the others. The village of Corniglia, illuminated, seems to magically emerge from the darker vegetation, creating a remarkable scenic effect. It almost seems like a pearl inside its shell.

The shooting point is the classic one, but the beautiful colors of the houses, the threatening sky and the stormy sea, give the image a dynamism and a beauty that struck me at first glance. Many compliments for this beautiful photo.

This photo immediately struck me for the low pdr and the chain that guides the observer towards the village illuminated by the first lights of the houses, at blue hour. A photo that expresses all the peace and beauty of the place, emphasized by the long exposure.

I really like the vertical cut of this photo. The rock in the foreground that emerges from the silky sea, due to the long exposure acts as a guide towards the colorful village of Riomaggiore. The play of the clouds is also beautiful. A photo that transmits peace and tranquility to me.
