A capture of circular steps in Dubrovnik. These are just inside the city walls. As you can see, the walls which completely encircle the city may be walked giving superb views of the beautiful medieval achitecture. The walls also provide shade for the canny locals. The main street of Dubrovnik is wide-ish and also the piazzas but most other streets (as you can see from Wilt's post of Dubrovnik steps), are narrow and shady.

Hi Vic,
Nicely composed, the mixture of shapes and textures all set off by the orange roofs is great and captures the look of the City. I especially like the inclined set of steps on the back wall.
Good work, very interesting photo.
Thanks,
Wilt

An interesting image with the angles, lines, the curves. I really find the perspective you adopted enhances the viewpoint (we get a view over the roof tops combined with a view of the streets of the Dubrovnik). The inclusion of the people brings a sense of human scale to the view.

Perftly Captured, Vic.Hat off.
The perspective, which you sure enhanged by CS2, is excellent.
The bright overall picture without any shade, is perfect.

Vic, Hi:


Marvelous architecture and steps. I really like the detail, sharpness and textures. Excellent notes.


Thanks

I think it's all been said (I know - cop out).. But let me add, while the architectural details are fascinating, I also like the inclusion of all the people - not only for scale, but as relatively 'young' living organisms in contrast to all that ancient, immutable stone work. (And what great steps..)

Not only is this well done, but it brings an excellent feel of Dubrovnik to those that have never visited.

I once worked with some who migrated to Western Australia from this place. Way too many steps for me to negotiate Vic but the textures and colours well captured,
