Hello Casey. I hope you and your girl friend enjoyed Pisa. Lovely isn't it.
I have had my wife stand under it many times. No luck so far.
What do you want me to focus my attention on, in this post. The Cathedral or the clouds.
Both are beautiful. What do you find more important? or is it a 50-50 split?
Me, I am hopeless at clouds! My feet are on the ground. My head not too high!
I would have concentrated on the cathedral..move in close. Fill the frame. Repeating patterns are eye draws. Human nature instinctively tries to arrange things in patterns. Finds them when there are none. Balance for comfort and stability. Imbalanced for dynamic impressions.
Play with paterns of pillars, arches. Light, contrast and shade. There are many interesting possibilities open to you here.
Thanks for sharing.
