De gustibus non est disputandum

Yesterday I received a copy of the new German National Geographic Travel Guide for Rome featuring my picture “Stairway From Heaven”. On display is a picture of the famous stairs in the Vatican Museum that I shot early June 2016. I’m a little ambiguous about it; at one hand I’m proud that my picture was selected by magazine famous for its superb photography, on the other hand I’m a little disappointed that they cropped my picture into a complete new composition. Above you’ll find the picture as printed in the travel guide. For those interested you’ll find the original composition under the tab “award winning pictures”.
