About learned from both Steve Bowden and my dad - who happens to be a photographer too - that each picture has to speak for themselves and evoke some feelings... and i totaly agree!
This is 'Fontana di Trevi' - a Fountain where Lovers make marriage proposals, tourists have their best icecream 'gelatto' ever... and you can also throw a coin into the Fountain if you intend to come back to the Eternal City someday... *wink*
the money $$$ is collected every other week and given away for Charity purposes to buy food for the ones in need!
Truth is: no Photoshop editting here either, Steve!
This is just the way it came out of camera... just scanned and sized to fit to UseFilm's standards. *BIG*smile*
my mistake not taking other lens to help a wider grand-angular shot this time SIGH maybe some other time!

Great place to visit: traveling light or with your loved one!
--Enjoy!

The fountain was built by the architect Salvi (1735) in the time of Clement XII and decorated by several artists of Bernini's school. It's placed at the front of a large Palace (Palazzo Poli) decorated with statues and bas-reliefs on heaps of rocks.
Take a close look at Neptune and Pegasus, the white horse: this nice a.m. sunshine bright light makes the statues seem alive!!! ... guess they come out this white 'cause they keep taking shower all day long, week after week... *sparkle*
Image was scanned from the 10x15 photo using a ViewStation AS6E Artec flatbed.

that's soo sweet of You, Opal!
Thank YOU Thank YOU Thank YOU!!!

Glad You enjoyed the Trevi Fountain picture... i had a cheapo camera on me and the whole Fountain sounded soo big and had soo many Tourists around!
i had to stick to what caught my eyes: the Neptune statue and main entrance of building -- where i had no one else to distract my view... so i came up with this!
(((SIGH)))
Sorry that the Landscape seem more appealing to You, Dear Friend... BUT once you get there and it's full of tourists having deliiiicious 'gellatto' icecream around the Fountain, packing it full: you just have to stick to the best You can get! *wink*

kind regards,
Regina

This is a beautiful photo. It does say something to you. It shows strength, playfulness, softness and love. You could have done a landscape shot.................Opal

Thank you for your nice comment about my photo. Orlando is a nice place to visit and live there also. Lake Eola is a beautiful lake with its dome fountain changing colors with the water shooting up in the air in color also. I'm glad you liked the photo

I think you did better with the longer focal length. With a wider view you'd get what everybody else shoots. By narrowing the view you get to share what caught YOUR eye.

WOW... che bellissima storia d'Amore, Patty!!!
anche io ho buttato una monettina per la mia fortuna... ma non ho trovatto un Principe fino esta sera. Credo che il Amico Tempo ensegna a ogni uno un desiderio per la sua Vita, non?!?
Grazie per la visita amicale,
Regina

qui ho conosciuto mio marito 11 anni fa e dopo 7 mesi ci siamo sposati. Ho avuto la realizzazione di un desiderio per ogni monettina che buttato, figli compresi. Un caso?? forse, ma io preferisco credere che porti veramente fortuna ahahhahahah

Regina, perdonami. Istintivamente ti ho commentato in inglese: da quando frequento questo sito scrivo male sia l'inglese che l'italiano e spesso mi confondo con la lingua. Ciao, a presto.

Thanks, Chris for the nice and encouraging Comment. it is very much appreciated!

Fontana di Trevi is really worth the visit.

Promise You when i go back i aim better to Neptune statue and forget the building and be careful enough to take grand-angular to make it perfect! *wink*

Best regards,
Regina

Nice shot of this oh so famous fountain, Regina ~ I would love to see it for real one day!!
Thank you for the background to the fountain ~ very interesting!
Maybe if you get a chance to go back you aim a little more to the left so as to get the whole of the statue on the left ~ though I know it's not always easy to get all you want in any one shot.
Thank you for your recent comments on my uploads ~ they are very much appreciated!
Kind regards, Chris

Thanks for the Travel Book tip, Ted.
*sparkle*
Too bad it's very hard to have books published in Brazil. i have one about 'Geopolitics of Communications' that is sitting with a fine publisher's desk for nearly one year and half!
Before this guy i was offered to pay 60% of printing costs, before book starts to be sold, and then it added up with Distribuition throughout this big country...
Tourism is a great industry, but the easiest way for journalists access are to single Magazine periodicals, as for my self. i was once hired by a Magazine from Miami a few years ago and got payed by the job (both photo and text work in three languages); BUT they only payed after publishing etc...
it's okay when you have some time off to produce, but being a univ. professor in both media and digital strategies,communications and marketing area -- takes most of my free time to be updated and study for the next week's class, Ted.
Ahhh... i also enjoy oil painting as well... i currently have three canvas in a Group show in town; still some looong way to go for an Individual evoking one theme: Nature (humming-birds and flowers pleases my senses the most!
it feels good to keep my mind busy as a bee! *wink*

This is why i enjoy soo much Your photograph work, TED, Teunis', Stephen Bowden's, Hugo de Wolf's, Chris Spracklen's, Altak Shaikh's and Maria Jose' Barres - just to name a few... and the rich experience that UseFilm allow us to share.

Thank YOU: i will keep Your Travel Guide idea, as my job is very rewarding and allows me many interesting visits to amazing places - as The Netherlands, for instance: Lovely place!!!
Great people! Wonderful museums and bike rides... superb in a Lifetime travel experience as MauritzHuis, Tulip fields and wind mills!!!

Best regards from Your Friend,
Regina

Glad the photo made You smile, Steve.
Yes, agree with You 100%: the process of learning can be achieved in two-way, like a road...

it seems to me i felt the same emotion You did feel when You took the perfect 'Water babies' playing cheefully in the water Fountain!!!
Carefully looked at them, see where it moved me the best...and shoot!
Next was an amazing picture of the whole 'Walk in the Park' adventure at a perfect view of Valley Gardens in Harrogate, UK (carefully chosen the opposite side where 'Babies' stood so we could get to know the WHOLE place: Thanks! i did not miss Your intentions on both photographs!) - they both were successful pleasing all our senses; same happened with 'the Bizantine Church', ' Turkish Window', 'Scottish waterfall', and 'left a bit, right a bit, aim ... NOW !!!' (this last one part of a great Series found at Your web-site)... which i'm sure all these photographs had HUGE effects in each and every one grabbing our attention, Steve:
--CONGRATS!

i humbly try to enrich with contentious informations most of my pictures, because at that time those infos. were extremelly important to know when first visit the place, or how people made me feel when i visited...

HOPE it never gets boring! B L U S H

Hi Regina, nice picture, nice story. You should start to wright a travelguide. Everyone wants to go were you have been.

Regina, this photo is totally awesome :-)
The subject, the description, the detail and the story the picture tells all work together super.
Thankyou so much for your kind comments - but remember, learning can be achieved in both directions. I can now look at a statue in greater depth and pick out elements, compose a scene and give the photo a depth of feeling all realised from the way YOU take your photos ... so a big thankyou to you also ;-)

The Trevi Fountain.... Beautiful, Regina! Such a classic landmark in Rome.... Very interesting description too. I do agree, a wider lens would enable you to capture more in one shot, but It does tell the story. Brings back memories...;o) One day I'll return!

Cheers,

Hugo
