A shot that obviously had to be taken.
Now, I recognise that perspective was going to mess you about whatever you did, (long line, tall columns, starting close … doomed), but I suspect there’s a mild tilt in the photo, that might have been better corrected by a whole photo rotate.
I’m assuming Black&White by choice, and fair enough, I’m guessing there was little colour variation in the main subject.
Yeah, that was tricky and it’s also the part I’m not totally content with. I tried ten different tilts but it always came out wrong one way or the other. Black and white by choice, the colors of the garden were only distracting and didn’t add anything to the picture. Plus this way the reflections of the columns came out a lot better.
