Many thanks for you comment, Kevin! I'm glad you liked at least one!

Regards,

should have said, this is excellent, the rest are good

I enjoyed the two girls in the alley almost as much, some of the others lack high contrast / brightness. I prefer a contrasty b&W, jst my poor tastes - sorry ... he-he
cheers.

Haha - I hope you have noticed that I was smiling while writing the previous post. I'm VERY glad you liked more than just one, Kevin! Lots of thanks again for your thoughts on my photos!!

Hello Piotr!

I really appreciated not only the Rome gallery, but basically your site and the pics in it!

At least the Italian pictures are very well captured, and reading another comment, I actually like the "weird" angles -> gives motion!

Thank you, Martino, for your views on my photos. It's great you liked my shots, despite their apparent weirdness! (just joking) I'm still learnig and trying to find my way.

Regards,
Piotr

I said TOO many weird ones.

that does not mean I do not like them, it means that too many presented in the same-ish angle at the same time causes "boring" to happen.
for me, anyway

Good point, I have to admit. As I said, I'm still learning so I'll think about it.

probably it's just my monitor but faar too much dark areas here. Eventhough the idea with the door way and the guy walking towards the building. B&W also works for me here.

cool, but again: Why b&w? Did you shoot RAW? If so try boosting exposure a bit probably!

(You might have noticed that I am not too much of a B&W fan, but IMO it works well for certain scenes. )

Hi Ypsilon and many thanks for your c&c!!

My position is that it's better to 'feel' than to 'understand' photography. (But of course I don't claim it's the only 'right' way). That's why don't expect me to explain what my photos are about. All shots were taken deliberately, on purpose, and I wanted them ALL B&W this time. And the technical perfection was not always my greatest concern.

Best regards,
Piotr
