gorgeous, the composition is perfect, and the subject is very nice. I like the chairs tucked away in the center of the photo. the red roofs remind me of Italy.

Harald from Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Eine tolle Idee prima umgesetzt. Sehr schön die Stühle in der Mitte der Dächer. Ich habe einen Moment gebraucht sie zu sehen und den Zusammenhang zum Titel zu verstehen. Schöne Symetrie und prima Schärfe.

10 Jul 2008 7:07pm

@Harald: Danke Harald. Ja, das Motiv ist so schon Klasse aber durch die Stühle kommt noch dieser zusätzliche gemütliche Effekt hinzu.

Amazing Picture! From where did you catch such a wonderful shot?
