Wonderful capture. Beautiful.

This really is a remarkable image Luigi. The selective focus and shallow depth of field really bring your eye back to your subject. The snowflakes create a dreamy quality, making this a very unique photograph. I love this shot !!!

There is great storytelling here; I can’t help feeling sorry for the bird though.

Molto bello! Luigi. I love snow and I love birds, so for me its extra special. I’m an amateur photographer, too, and just recently shot more than 500 photos in France. I’m planning a trip to Italy next fall.

Great Shot!!! So cool.

This is such an unusual photo! The bird is so unexpected in a snowfall picture……most snowfall photos are landscape ones or ones of people in the snow. I love the element of surprise when you see the crane! Great eye for something different!

Gouldkb: believe me: it snows in Italy, you bet! … especially in the North. And yes, it’s the land of sun, but only in summer!
