why is europe so much more beautiful than the u.s.? awesome picture, i love the depth to it. but i must say, if you were giving directions you couldn't just say, 'i live in the white house on the top of the hill'

with all the grafiti in Rome, we only saw one anti american message. other than that we were treated wonderfully well.

Amazing...
And perhaps off-topic, but do you use a polarizing filter for outdoor shots like these? I hear it brings the sky out much better, but cuts the f-stop down by a few steps...I'm trying to figure out whether it's worth paying $70 to upgrade my mid-grade digicam with one...

they do sharpen the contrast in the sky and removes the glare. it also seems to enrich the colors a bit.

i have one on my 28-300 and on my 70-200 F2.8 as lens protectors. i wouldn't be without them.

The shot reminds me of the movie βGladiatorβ where he is walking through the wheat with his hand downβ¦ What a sight, breathtaking land/cityscape

Gorgeous scenic shot. You got a landscape and a cityscape in one go.
Great colors, between the yellow grass, the green trees, the blue sky and the white buildings, I don't know which i best.
I love the terraced look of the city. Everything seems on different levels.

This is a great capture!...I like all the content that you put in just one photo....the perspective and the angle is very good...the field on the foreground mostly..that is a really interesting place!

Amazing view. I'm sure this would make St. Francis proud.

Great shot !
I'm not sure but maybe it would have been even better with some shadows, at a different time of the day.
anyway, isn't the compression a little too hard ? it makes aliases in the sky.
π: 0 β©: 1
i notice the distortion. it is from the compression. how do i avoid this?
π: 0 β©: 1
By using a good photo editing software and adjusting the compression rate of the jpeg standard. It's an option when you save the picture. hope it helps

i compress it from raw to jpeg and it looks fine, its when i resize it for submission is when i sometimes get the distortion.
π: 0 β©: 1
and what do you use for resizing ?
the problem must appear when you save your resized work !
π: 0 β©: 1
i use Paint Shop Pro 8. it maybe because i sharpened the shot before i resized it?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hum ... i don't use that soft but i don't think it's because of that. i think it's only a problem of saving. I use photoshop and i get these ugly aliases when i put a low compression rate. but the sharp function should not alter the quality of the image.
π: 0 β©: 1
i will fiddle with it and see what i can do to alter these aliases. thank you for your suggestions my friend

the contrast between the hay (?) and the sky is simply gorgeous, and the town divides them perfectly, well done Alex!
