Trevor,

Thank you so much for the lovely compliment. I do take my photography seriously. It annoys the hell out of people when I take my time to capture a shot, but, hey, I'm a photographer, I see things differently to other people!

I had an audio guide and followed it whilst I was inside, and, even though that presents you facts and figures, it's still so hard to put yourself there in the thick of it.

I am so glad that my intent has been realised.

It is a special gift to capture such objects and convey the atmosphere and emotion of it all. Looking at your image and thinking about the significance of "The Colesseo", the events that occurred there, it strikes me that this images is not "just an image" but one that expresses emotion and captures the atmosphere of this place and its place in history.

Alex,

Thank you, kind sir.

This will print up to 75cm x 50cm. Probably more if I lowered the DPI, but, I don't want to play with that.

I love it!

ps - how big could that be printed?
Matt,

You should see the high resolution original! I worked on it for a long time until I just couldn't take it anymore.

Thank you for the very kind words, once again.

The amount of fine detail is amazing.

Your work remains an inspiration.
Phil,

Thank you, kindest sir! A purist would argue that it would have been captured better on film...
