"Timeless Coast - Rovinj on the Edge of the Sea"
This atmospheric photo shows the rugged charm of the old waterfront in Rovinj, Croatia. The weathered facades with their characteristic shutters, balconies and stone staircases exude history and Mediterranean tranquillity. The buildings seem to almost disappear into the sea, while a seagull floats gracefully above the calm waters. The sky is softly cloudy, adding to the colours of the facades. A subtle manipulation in Photoshop has enhanced the texture and colour intensity, without losing the authentic atmosphere of the scene. This image invites you to dream away on the Adriatic coast.
When visiting Croatia, don't miss the romantic town of Rovinj.

Print recommendation:
Print material:
1. Aluminium - Gives a clean, modern look. Colours come out bright, and the matte surface prevents reflection. Perfect for this architectural coastal scene.
2. Acrylic glass - For a livelier colour contrast and more depth, especially nice for an image with lots of details and reflections.
Canvas - Gives a warm, classic look. Slightly less sharpness, but goes well with the weathered buildings.
Size (recommended):
- 120 x 80 cm - For an impressive, but still living room-friendly format.
- 150 x 100 cm - If you really want to make a statement piece in a larger space (living room, office, lobby).
- Note: always consider the viewing distance; at 150 cm distance, 100 cm width is ideal.
