Bonjour, cher Ike,
Cette tour est toujours aussi impressionnante (4 cm ont 閠� n閏essaires pour redresser l'閐ifice).
La beaut� architecturale est manifeste.
Jolie composition.
Amiti閟.

Hello Ike, Iconic tower but in your picture, it is straight, not leaning. I can see the people at the top. Nice colours and sharpness.
Best regards MAlgo

Hello Ike,
As you know, we have all seen this tower before, but it's such an iconic building that we gladly see it again. Especially when the photo is so sharp and well exposed as this and we see the tower from a less common angle, showing those ochre buildings instead of the cathedral. I am only a bit disturbed by the dark detail on the left side. ;-)
Best regards,
Gert

Witaj Ike!
This is a world-famous classic view!
Good POV, colors and sharpness.
Well done.
Good morning.
Krzysztof

Hello Ike,
From this angle, the tower seems to be less crooked.
I think it would be a nice idea to photograph the tower from an equal distance from all sides.
Perhaps I will have the opportunity to do so again.
Excellent presentation
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Hi Ike,it's a great pleasure to see the Pisa tower that i saw me too in August with Carlo. A classic and perfect postcard,with a lot of people of good times,now we are back in lockdown and perhaps this square is desert. Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Hi Ike,

The presence of the crowd is animating the scene. The point of view is showing the details of the Torre-Pendente. The light is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike,

Who could mistake this iconic tower!
It is so distinctive, from its wedding-cake layers, to its unbelievable tilt!
You got a fine angle on it, with a sharply exposed photograph, clearly showing its tilt and its scale.

Did you venture inside?

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Ike
The Torre appears still majestic despite its feebleness.
When we saw it in 1992, it was strongly counterbalanced by heavy underground lead blocks.
La Tour de Pise appears in full glory over this beautiful sky! I'm afraid it will remain closed to tourists for a long time.
Thanks for the nice souvenir.
Shalom

Hello Ike,

I think that all photographer this image get to see, gladly would are in your position
What a lovely panorama picture.
You create a lovely detailed image.
Sharp and clear too.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

PaulVDV (63432) 2020-11-06 9:45

Hello Ike,
The tower leaned a little less then :) It obviously depends from which angle you take the photo.
We only see visitors at the highest level. Not on all intermediate floors. So it was a good time to climb up.
Beautiful photo of the world famous tower.
Best regards, Paul

mkamionka (75009) 2020-11-06 11:34

Hi Ike,
I think you didn't correct the perspective here...
Just kidding of course, it must be difficult to take this photo "straight" :)
Lovely monument, one of the most famous in the world.
Still on my list of places to visit.
Great reportage,
M

Hello Ike,
Interesting picture from Pisa with famous tower.
I like good composition, beautiful colours and good quality.
Fine presentation.

Piotr

Hello Ike,

Making the tower straight was an original idea. At least I have never seen such a photo and never thought of it!

Best Wishes,
Gy.

Hi Ike

I can see a slight tilt to the right although when we look fast it looks like everything is vertical and no tilt at all. Beautiful photo and memory of this tower famous worldwide.

Congratulations and have a nice weekend

adramad (73376) 2020-11-07 11:30

Hi Ike.
A classic but not for that beautiful composition of the famous tower, which from this angle in which you captured it, its inclination is less appreciated, it is a marvel that we never tire of visualizing.
A fantastic photo, with beautiful natural colors, good lighting and sharpness.
Well done. I love.
Enjoy the weekend.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hello Ike,
A fantastic photo of the iconic Leaning Tower, famous throughout the world. Superb clarity and sharpness, which reveals the details of the many pillars and arches so well.

Ike, that tower becomes worlwide famous because it is leaning due to the soil where it was built centuries ago. The monument attracts many tourists. Fine colors, good sharpness, regards.

foxy (3517) 2020-11-09 13:11

Hello Ike,
A simple take...... it's a simply stunning photo of this iconic tower.
I'm not only seeing the leaning tower but the frame is slightly tilted too ( my imagination ) making it even more special :-)
You have the beautiful sky ( everyone wishing to have ) and the sunlight shone on each layers of the tower's pillars like turning round and round with the breeze blowing the flag above.
What I see in the photo .... is the normalcy of the scene. How I yearn to be back like that.
Thanks for sharing your Toscana trip.
Loong

ChrisJ (172372) 2020-11-10 2:46

Hi Ike

Ha ha! Well you fixed the tower, but now the people are leaning. Perhaps they've had too much Italian wine? Good sharpness and the red flag adds a splash of warm color against the blue sky. Tfs!

macjake (98544) 2020-11-27 5:29

Hi Ike
sometimes we just HAVE to get that classic shot for our own personal galleries :) Looking at this it makes me wonder how it would look from the birds eye view from my drone. interesting to see the people at the top, and the exposure/sharpness is perfect. The only thing I'd change is placing the tower closer to either side of the frame so it's not in the middle - but that's so easily done in post processing. clear and bright, the clouds help out too. Nice one. cheers

Hello Ike,
With my luck, the Leaning Tower of Pisa will topple before I get to see it in person. It looks like a tall wedding cake.
