Hello Ike,
One of the stunningly beautiful buildings of Florence shown from a good angle. Seeing the crowds we realize it's a typical pre-Covid photo. The colours are nice but a slight adjustment of the light in the shady foreground might have been possible.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Ike,

This is a stunning building and shown with all its magnificence in your photograph.
You have chosen a fine angle, with people moving in the direction of the palace, helping us not only to understand the scale but also, to follow their guidance.

Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)
How is the mood in your neighbourhood, after the excitement of the police raid. You will have to see if there are further reports in the newspaper.

Ike, i remember this place. The plaza attracts many tourists in Florence center. The palazzo vecchio and its clock tower are an unmissable monument to discover in the city. A lively picture. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

Hi Ike,

The presence of the crowd is animating the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the Palazzo Vecchio. The light is giving good colours output. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike,
A crowd as usual on this popular square to see and visit one of the best known palaces of Italy.
Fortunately, we can see the famous statues above the heads of the visitors.
Good combination of beautiful architecture and a very lively foreground.
Well presented in the vertical format.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Ike,
You've brought back the wonderful memory I had in this place. Sometimes it's nice to look through the past photos full of memory kept in the archives.
I still can clearly remember admiring all the famous statues showing the Roman masculinity - in the modest way. All the 'awe' in silent.
Thanks for sharing.
Loong

Hello Ike, the palace is well positioned in your composition, and imposes its presence on the piazza. You did well to get all the building in the frame.
The foreground is in shadow so it doesn't distract our eyes from the main focal point.
Lovely work.
Kind regards, Jean.

Hi Ike,
This is one of the very famous sights which i didn't see yet and which I have high on my list of places to visit.
Pity that the light didn't help you here, I don't know whether it was already afternoon or simply the sun was hiding behind the dense layer of clouds.
Nevertheless the effect is still impressive. The silhouette so characteristic to this region.
Crowds are probably unavoidable, unless traveling in pandemic times... so they add the real life feeling to this spot.
Great reportage,
M

Hi Ike.
This curious bird stands out wonderfully in those lumpy lands after the summer. Curious plumage with its beige wings and black body.
Good perspective of the image, very pleasing to the eye.
Colorful, sharpness and luminosity are captured effectively.
Very good composition, magnificent presentation.
Have a great day. Warm greetings.
Luis.

Hello Ike,
It's a nice memory of the times when we could travel freely, without fear of contagions. This, too, shall pass.

Hi Ike,

Florence is such a beautiful city and we can see the copy of the statue of David on the right of the clocktower. Good sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Hello Ike,
It is always pleasant to see a good picture of a place where you have good memories.
Unfortunately for me a long time ago in the still analog photo age.
Fortunately, your picture if of a time when keeping distance and mouth masks were not yet necessary.
Well done
Have a nice day, groet Rob
