perche' sei andato a rovinare una bella foto con una luna messa li' con photoshop? L'atmosfera che avevi creato con uno buono scatto era comunque notevole, il grandangolo aveva reso anche degli ottimi movimenti di composizione, un posto affascinante (approposito dove si trova?) ben catturato.-
Mi dispiace per il pollice rosso ma le lune appiccicate non mi vanno proprio giu'.-

Grazie Lorenzo della garbata critica, ho voluto esagerare con il PS, non so se ho fatto bene, comunque non solo ho messo la luna ma anche ho acceso i lampioni, ho acceso le luci nelle case ecc.
Lo scatto con il 10/22 Canon è stato eseguito alle ore 17 del pomeriggio in una giornata banalissima di sole, siccome la composizione è buona e il paese è molto bello (Villafranca Lunigina), non mi bastava l'immagine cosi com'era, senza una interessante atmosfera, ho optato per questa elaborazione (che tu legittimamente non condividi).
Tanti saluti e complimenti per il tuo portfolio.(che già conoscevo per averlo ammirato molte volte)

This reminds me of a Dali painting, at first sight it looks right but the more you look at it the more it seems there is something wrong. The "wrong bits" to my mind are what makes this photo for me, the huge moon (could be a long zoom?) the shadows on the buildings in the back are all wrong though. I disagree about the streetlight, it is perfectly placed (and I use the word placed advisedly) and perfectly balances the moon. The lighting generally is a triumph. This is a class piece of work!

Ciao Roberto
Amazing work! Just like a true painting by Paul Delvaux. Excellent composition and beautiful colors. How did you achieve this painterly effect?
The only thing that is strange for me is that grey area next to the moon. It looks like a stain.
Best of luck
Nilton

I think it is perfection! ...and I don't care if it is all natural or Photoshopped. The intensity of the subdued colors, the shadows and the details make me want to hang this picture on my wall so I can look at it every day. I don't know how you managed to get the light to not be glaring but I think it adds to the picture. The frame [especially the choice of color on the thin inner frame] is excellent.
Congratulations on a great picture Roberto.

Fantastic light and shadow Roberto!! The man-made lighting standard is distracting. Will they let you remove it? I will come and bring you refreshments if they lock you up for my suggested "improvement":-) Leonard

I know this is obviously a photoshop composition but the moon looks unrealistic. It is too big for this wide angle shot. Barnett.

Seeing as how virtually ANY decently wide angle landscape is going to include at best a gnarly speck as a moon, and assuming that this isn't going into some publication where strict image guidelines must be observes...how else would you get a big moon in a wide angle shot? And I'm not being facetious. I've never personally done it (though I probably would) but I thought this was fairly common practice to represent the moon more as a person in that moment would see it (assuming it's in the approx same position it really was in the scene)? EDIT: In this particular image, that doesn't appear to be the case...but my point stands. Although I think it's a lovely painterly image without it.
