    I love the way you decided to juxtapose the 2 buildings, much more unique than the "Look! It's leaning on me!" shot. :-D Can you pull out any more color out of the sky?

    For such a famous place, I have never seen this shot before. Excellent eye. The title matches perfectly.

    Great perspective here, Tom. The leaning tower lends good tension, and the framing is right. Very well done

    Hi Tom,
    Agree with OldSchool that the perspective is very unique. It is espeically difficult for the place as many photos have been published. I like the rustic colour on the right arch ver much.

    I also think it looks very good. Only thing i would say is adjust the saturation some - i think it needs more color.

    I thought they were rebuilding the building ? Did they finish it yet?

    Re: Women And Children First

    Seb, Yoyo, Old School, Jacqui, Themege
    Thanks so much to you all for your positive comments on this one. I was pretty happy with it too.
    The tower had been closed for a long time for re-strengthening and engineering work. This has obviously been completed sucessfully and visitors can now go up the tower again.
    It would be nice if the sky was a little more dramatic but it was an "uninteresting sky" day. I'll give it a go and see if anything can be salvaged from it.
    Thanks Again
    Tom

    I was just there in April and agree that you got a great capture! My sky that day was very much the same. Must be surly weather a lot in Pisa.

    Thanks very much Tuna for your appreciation.
    Dbutler. I would liked to have had a more dramatic sky alright. Thanks for your kind comment.
