I don't know why, but when I photographed this villa in the small town of Soragna, last January, it made me immediately think of Peter Greenaway:

What I like to know is how you transformed to Black/white.

That's the power of the Flektogon 4/20!

Photoshop, Fred Miranda's plugin "BW Workflow Pro", a simple red filter simulation (could have used a real one actually). Then some work on the curves and the layers, to make selective adjustments to different areas of the image. _________________ Orio, Administrator

I don't know much about Flektogon's power, but I can tell about this image power. A nice balance between the depresive garden (left-down corner) and the optimism of the sky (right-upper corner). I love the timeless atmosphere. I could swear that the picture was taken by a man wearing a swallow moustache, a black top hat and a monocle, caring on the sholders a havy wooden view camera. 19th century scent... _________________ Angel |

Beautifully done, Orio, late afternoon shot? Certainly does evoke a 19th

Yes, it was January and the days were short (and the sun always low)

The garden surely does. The building itself should be really older, as it's part of the castle domain, and the castle of Soragna was build in year 1361 (I remember it because it's my year of birth - only 6 centuries before!)
Here's a link about it (Italian, sorry):

This photo shows the gate I took the picture at.
It reveals better than the garden shot, the ancient nature of the construction:
