Most of my pictures—regardless of their photographic qualities, if any—are *meant* to be static. I know that this makes them, generally, less attractive at first glance; but (for me, at least) it's just a different message. You wouldn't believe for how long I have to wait often until no «living thing/creature» (as you call them) is in my frame any longer. Do not get me wrong, though: I always learn from different opinions on my images and I always appreciate your comments; it's just that this time I really don't agree (with a critique, BTW, I hear all to often and which, therefore, «struck a nerve»...). — db.

From static to dynamic.

It doesn't matter if I did or didn't.

Imagine a priest / person appearing in one of those windows! that would elevate this beautiful photo to another level.

If I did that, aam1234, you wouldn't recognize my images any longer as mine... :-)) db.

Ha ha, you got me there db. I didn't sign my name because I assumed it's the same as in CTF.

Still gorgeous colors you have there. But since we are talking frankly, allow me Sir to make a minor suggestion. It doesn't hurt to include a living thing/creature in the photo. In this case, maybe wait for birds to fly by or something as such.

Just a suggestion.

As I told you the other day, aam1234, you are a friend I can count on: always flattering... ;-) You see: I can spot your remarks from a mile away, even when you don't sign them. Sincere thanks—as always—for your taking the time to comment! — db.

db, db...you can't get away from me, I can spot your photos from a mile a way (sounds like a poetry).

Seriously though, you have an excellent eye for architecture and the perfect timing to capture these beautiful buildings.
