Fantastic... Really superb editing. Love the slightly soft focus/glow and the crop. Great color tones too. Terrific job.

Of course not, because Gilli is a Jolly bar :-)

Well done - especially for your first entry! (My first one - or several for that matter - really bombed! LOL) I really liked this shot and scored it a 7. I would have scored it higher, but the DOF seemed a little odd to me. It's almost as if there was too much blur at the forefront of the image and that the DOF was just a hair too shallow. That being said, it's still a good shot and a solid score. Good job and welcome to the fray! :-)

I don't recall the coffee, but I know that there's no better espresso in the world than what I had at Gilli's at the Piazza

Great scene. Love the light and shadow play along the ground, and the people doing their various things. Nice light.

One of the most incredible structures in any city in the world. Great photo. Since this is your favorite city, did you happen to try a Jolly Caffe' at any of the bars there? I import it.
You got the shot I wanted, my back was still hurt at this point and I could maybe have climbed 20 stairs before I started to cry like a little girl.

This pops out from the thumbnails. I'd see this on the cover of a travel brochure.
