Pastel Tirana, a photo from Tirane, North

Photographer's Note

Colorful Tirana owes its scheme to the mayor who has an art background. Apparently to make the city more pleasant than the gray communist concrete blocks, he ordered the buildings to be painted according to a plan. The residents had no choice and some people weren't happy that they now live in a purple or pink house, but I have to admit, it does brighten the place up.

Hello Dan,
I like your bird's-eye-view of the city. The pink building in the foreground definitely stands out, but with your good DOF there are lots of details to enjoy. I am also amused by the symmetrical rows of small trees that line the street in front of the pink building. Everything is lined up so neatly. :-)

Hello Dan!
Very nice and interesting urban & architecture photograph!
So good to have such a great picture from a city that's not much shown in any media!
Sharpness, exposure, high pov, dof, colors, horizontal & rectangular format, pp, contrasts and composition are all excellent!
TFS - congratulations!
