Hello Janos;
This is representative to old streets of Italy. Very good composition.
I like it.

I saw another Naples shot like this within the last few days. They certainly remind me of this city which had so much vibrancy and so much hustle and bustle that it's stuck in my mind as one of my favorite places. This is that well. Narrow streets, tatterd buildings and clothes suspended from the air. The point of view captures the tightness well and I feel claustraphobic looking at it. The darkness with the bright light at top captures that canyon feel. And as always one wonders how the cars will get in or out. Great capture.

What a great backstreet composition, Janos.
Fine colors and nice light distribution; well done!

Hi Janos,
I like this kind of cultural shocks. This is a great photo perfectly recording the atmosphere of the place and something, that could be called the "Italian style". Because the upper part seems to be overexposed, I'd try to crop it out just above the second row of laundry.

Thanks,
Marek

what imposes me the most with this picture is the contrast with the light on the street, the dark walls and the light on the top again, very good composition

My kind of places. My kind of city.
Could spend a life in there and never get bored.
Charming settings. Charming photo of yours, Janos.
