This is on the boarder between Como and Switzerland. The town from which this was shot is called San Fedele. Serene mountain town with a population that tempoarilrly swells in the summer as it's cooler Some beautiful walks and amazing photo opportunities . If you are coming here let me know .. Happy to share tips and tricks in this lovely part of the world .... www. Lakecomoproperties.com for ideas on where to stay.

Superb. I find only praise for it. Forgot to vote on this challenge but, for what's worth, it would haveb been 10 cum laude
Exact location?

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I can see you took the description of the challenge to heart, and did a wonderful job of capturing lines and circles in the technical sense. Great lighting, I love the b/w conversion cause then colour does not distract you. I think the main problem here is, too much of a good thing...the pattern is quite random and the image large, so the eye roves looking for a focal point, and there isn't one.

If, however, you crop in a bit to the middle third, you can see the bars emerging as leading lines leading up to the bursts of circles. The ridged floor upon which the circles fall means that you could crop in really close, with perhaps just one bar of shadow, and use that as a focal point and let the circles on either side dance around like fizzy bubbles around a swizzle stick :-)

hope this helps, please keep shooting and entering!

I really liked this shot, and it seemed so familiar, like somewhere in the Dolomites where we stayed, is that where it is? Anyway a bit of tonal contrast and dodge and burn and this could of really popped!
