Description: The shape of the Flavian Amphitheatre is unmistakable, and taking its form all the way to the edges emphasises its monumentality. The angled perspective accentuates the curvature of the Colosseum's top edge, leading the eye strongly to the right.

Description: A different kind of context shot where the Colosseum's lower tiers holding the most visual interest are framed by two pine trees. The amphitheatre's position nestled at the foot of Palatine hill and its impressive height, its upper tier being at the same level as this vantage point at the summit of Palatino, is attractively presented.

Description: Over-filling the frame takes us into the architectural detail of the structure: how the blocks of stone were cut to form the arches, the proportions and rhythms of the archways, the holes where the pins holding the marble façade in place were, and the materials used in its construction.
Title: Defaced
