Bronze glow


I am posting about snow, again. I can't help it. I took this photo after midnight on new year's eve. This is Piazza San Niccolò, which is near home. I like this sculpture and the contrast with the church of San Niccolò, especially in this light in which the bronze has such a special glow.
The man with the umbrella seemed captured too...

    I love the sepia color in the photo. The egg-shape sculpture looked like an alien ship opening up and the man is waiting to greet whatever is coming out of it.

    Awesome photo!!

    I agree with Ming. The sepia colour gives a fantastic effect to the snow and the entire scene. Well done. All the best. A.

    Thanks everybody! I didn't expect such enthusiastic comments on this one...
    I just wanted to point out that I didn't add the sepia color: there are simply four yellowish street lamps on the corners of this square. That's where the light on the sculputure comes from!
