These images were originally taken in 2003 but re-processed after a recent workshop. Any comments/suggestions appreciated for these fine art images. Thank you.

I think the window frame shot would have worked better if shot from a more head-on angle, and by not cropping off the lower row of windows (maybe this wasn't possible at the time, who knows)...this would have given it more symmetry. As it is, the corner of the building, as well as the drain pipe (?) create two additional borders that aren't really necessary IMO.

Number two for me. Love the angle and post processing on it

Thanks for the above comments. The 1st image was taken from my hotel room in Florence so this was the best angle I could get at the time. I like the sharp yet dreamy effect of the overall image as well as the contrast of the blue shutters & yellow exterior.

Both are very nice but I'd prefer a touch more light on the subject in the second one.

Very nice but they look a little flat to me - nothing that couldn't be corrected in PP.
