I think the black and white gave this image an unrepeatable and unique look. The play between chiaroscuro plays a fundamental role. One can perfectly see the antiquity of the streets and the characteristic buildings of that place. Sometimes simplicity can be a winner. Compliments!

It is an unusual Venice, the part of the city that is seen less around. I really liked the simplicity of this image, a straight look, without any angle of view and without distortions. The linearity gives a certain elegance to the final result. Excellent post production and the shades of colors typical of that place.

Manarola is one of the most photographed places in Italy. It's a spectacular sight. But more than the beauty of the place, I appreciated the quality of the image and the skill of the photographer. Excellent long exposure with many details in the foreground. The "outline" such as sky and lights are important and set this image apart from others with the same subject.

This somewhat enlarged and more complete picture of Brugge is full of light and character. Excellent photographic work. I find the sky that surrounds the houses very special and fascinating atmosphere of natural light. The reflections in the water are very effective.

I really appreciated the role of the photographer shooting the city with his camera in the narration of this image. A very fascinating black and white, with exemplary image sharpness. Beautiful sky that surrounds this beautiful city. (Not just a building, but you can see the whole historic square well)

Brief

See more contest details

In this contest I would like to see your photos of historic towns and cities. Images of the streets or the town/city from a distance are fine, with people or empty, but it is important that the image shows a period in the history of the country where the photo was taken. Please no photos of modern towns and cities. Colour or black and white photos are fine.
