You can always 'straighten' this in photo-shop pal...lol

great capture..I haven't seen this close up..and the mono tones work really good with this subject too

Great B/W image of this world famous tower Doug. I have been up there once when my ship was in Livorno and was quite impressed.

Doug, I was told that technically the skew could be resolved but that would implicate that tourists wouldn't come to Pisa anymore. As long as the tilt remains within acceptable limits, nothing will be done.

Very good and interesting B&W image!

Regards, Cornelius.

Excellent shot look good in B/W,Well done Doug.

Great capture of the tower, Nice one for challenge Doug.

and a great B/W it is doug. its funny looking back to school & seeing pictures wondering why it dont fall. later in life seen a documentary on tv one day, amazing story around this building. then there was a guy standing next to it acting like he was holding it up posing for a picture..no doubt an american..lol. im sure you seen the same thing once the crowds came.

I have never seen a post of this famous tower on Caedes, a very good one for the challenge my friend, and I hope you will have more challenge entries. =^..^=tigs

It looks great in b/w, Doug. If one were tipsy and leaning the other way, would it appear straight? :)
One of the world's most recognizable landmarks. You did it justice with your shot.

I had the privilege of seeing this once. I always wonder what went through the minds of the builders when they realized it was leaning. The engineer in me would want to rip it out and start over. Italians tend to be artists, they must have said - the heck with it, it looks cool this way. If they had started over, the tower never would have become famous. And, of course Galileo needed a test platform for his theory of gravity.(Actually that's another fantasy, he actually used inclined planes.)

Beautiful shot, Doug. You chose a perfect vantage point for this world famous site.

I see in this scene people are taken notice of the warning signs and staying well back.Nice black and white photography with lovely sharp detail as well.

Never saw this kind of close-up before Doug - I think the B&W works but I personally tried it with a little less brightness and slightly more contrast and even more detail came out. Your composition perfectly accents the lean.

Great shot of this beautiful lady what the tower of pisa of over without tourists, super.

An instant fave for me...a fabulous b/w for the challenge, excellent clarity and detail, well composed in the vertical format and unique and famous subject matter...don't recall seeing this on caedes before...great work Doug and thanks for sharing.

I guess I have never seen this angle. Is it leaning more? Nice image.

A good capture of the tower, Doug. Good clarity and focus in the photo and a good b/w capture.

Well done Doug - a fine photo.
On the list for inclusion in the B & W Challenge on Wednesday :)
