Hello Goncalo,

I like this narrow stone path going upward. The yellow buildings on both the sides make very nice color contrast to the gray path. Nice depth, sharpness and colors.

Hello Goncalo,

I really liked the immense depth sense you've achieved by using a spectacular perspective and great vertical composition. Everything in perfect balance, nothing redundant. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes,

Bola noite Gonçalo

Gosto desse piso escuro. A profundidade é nota 10 e a composição inteira é super bonita.

Ciao Goncalo,
Ottima prospettiva di questa stradina di Lisbona, una città che vorrei presto visitare.
Mi piace il punto di vista, la strada sembra salire su verso il cielo.
Un caro abbraccio

Hi Goncalo
incredible perspective here in this amazing composition. So perfectly detailed and enticing. Mesmering lines and executed imaginatively. Impressive!

Regards - Brian.

pierrefonds (113634) 2012-03-20 4:45

Hi Goncalo,

The length of the narrow street is giving depth and perspective to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the buildings. The afternoon light is bringing out the colors. Have a nice day.

cavli (1876) 2012-03-20 5:16

Helo Goncalo,

great view of a narrow street. I prefered more close to see the man walking up the stairways. Probably would give a very nice dynamism to your capture.

Ciao Goncalo, great perspective on narrow street, lovely composition with excellent clarity, splendid light and colors, very well done, my friend, ciao Silvio

jlbrthnn (76043) 2012-03-20 7:53

Oi Gonçalo,
Esta é outra típica rua em um bairro popular de Lisboa. A imagem sugere uma encosta íngreme. Excelente nitidez e profundidade. Bravo.
Bom dia.
Amicalement

Ciao Goncalo.
POV vertiginoso, la strada sembra non finire mai.
Ottimo il taglio verticale.
Grazie per al condivisione

Hi Goncalo
Great narrow street scene from one of the narrow streets in this old town. But I love the symmetry and immense depth achieved here. Compostion is really great, well exposed in good color contrast. Really evocative shot, a wonderful insight and you have sucessfully conveyed the feel of this remarkable old place. So for me that is a win shot. Well done
Best regards

josepmarin (59385) 2012-03-20 10:41

Olá, amigo Gonçalo,
no vi esta calle, y seguramente pasé muy cerca mientras recorríamos la Avenida da Liberdade.
Me gusta la estrechez de la calle, su fuerte pendiente, y la perspectiva que nos ofrece tu buen encuadre, con una fuga de líneas perfecta hacia el centro de la imagen.
El color amarillo de las casas y las texturas del pavimento de la calle crean un magnífico grafismo en esta composición.
Un bello trabajo.
Um abraço,
Josep

Ola Goncalo,
une perspective de fuite qui donne une impression d'étroitesse plus aigue à cette rue où la lumière a beaucoup de difficulté à entrer.
Quel dommage, la présence de ces horribles graffitis.
Un grand angle qui allonge encore les distances.
Amitiés.
Daniel.

jmdias (114318) 2012-03-21 7:10

gonçalo

o enquadramento é muito bom, mas a paisagem não é muito atrativa. gosto das diagonais e das linhas bem colocadas, a cor aqui não é um elemento forte, acho que eu teria optado pelo branco e preto para aumentar o minimalismo e o grafismo da compo. bom trabalho.

abraços

bona (15057) 2012-03-21 7:43

Olá Gonçalo,

Sonho em conhecer Portugal, e sempre que penso lá me vem a cabeça cenas como essas ruas, estreitas e que parecem contar uma história própria em cada esquina. Gosto da foto, dessa região antiga de Lisboa.

Abraço
Andre

kato (11630) 2012-03-21 9:28

Hello Goncalo,

You're capturing well this narrow backstreet by a good angle and excellent tone/clarity, so it's interesting and impressive to see a stone-made sidewalk and the building of both sides with yellow wall. It's interesting in the scribble of a wall as well as the symmetry of the whole, too.

Kind regards,
mikio

Budapestman (82620) 2012-03-21 9:53

Hello Goncalo,
Wonderful composition from the narrow streets of Lisbon, beautiful architectural details, excellent POV, lovely soft light and contrast, vivid colors, very nice framework, TfS!
Have a nice evening, Vasilis.

adramad (72564) 2012-03-21 10:39

Hola Gonçalo.
Magnifica la perspectiva de esta estrecha calle, que nos conduce la vista hasta el edificio lejano del fondo, despues de subir esa buena serie de escalones, bonita la fuga de lineas hacia el centro de la imagen. Me gusta la estrechez de la calle, su fuerte pendiente, y la perspectiva que nos ofrece tu buen encuadre, con una fuga de líneas perfecta hacia el centro de la imagen. Buen grafismo el que aporta la textura del piso y los ventanales de las fachadas.
Agradable el suave verde de las fachadas y buena gestion de la luminosidad.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

Hello Goncalo

Good use of the wide angle to create such a beautiful view into this narrow street. Wonderful perspective and DOF. I can see that it`s not only my city that has a problem with tagging. Beautiful:) TFS. Have a nice evening.

Best regards, Erling

patdeph (35750) 2012-03-22 12:09

hello Goncalo
this is not the colors nor the light that I prefer, but I have to say that the perspective is impressive.Very well done.

Pascale

dkmurphys (79209) 2012-03-22 13:41

Ola Goncalo,
Classical view of a simple old street of Lisbon. Artistic shot, well done!

Daniel

Royaldevon (85638) 2012-03-22 15:50

Ola Goncalo,

You have turned this very narrow, steep Lisbon street into a fine symmetrical composition. It displays good textural details, and natural colour saturation.
What a pity so many people feel the need to leave their names scrawled onto buildings!

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

danos (110407) 2012-03-23 0:24

Ola Goncalo,
nice the created perspective from this narrow street of the capital,as lead-in the eye on the opposite part of it.I like the light and the colour management as the clarity of the image.

Have a good day,Danos

jhm (211734) 2012-03-23 5:04

Hello Gonçalo,

You chose a narrow street with a very great depth and perspective, also a long stair upward in background.
Excellent composition, nice presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

delpeoples (60342) 2012-03-23 23:12

Ola dear Goncalo

Excellent use of the wide-angle lens and the vertical frame to accentuate the narrowness of this wonderful old street. I like the light and the colours. The perspective -your signature - is wonderful.

Um abraco
Lisa

ikeharel (112475) 2012-03-24 8:42

Good upwards view with depth along the narrow alley, Goncalo.
Light from up and bg, handled well.
Bom fim de semana,
Ike

mvdisco (17798) 2012-03-24 11:42

Hi Goncalo,
Nice POV. and DOF. well composed,
Excellent details of this narrow street,
Well presented in a vertical picture,
Great perpective and tone of colors.
well done,
Michel

ourania (51103) 2012-03-24 12:27

Hello Goncalo,
the way you have composed and vertically framed this photo is superb. The upward point of view shows us the great length of the alley taking us up close to the sky. Following the alley, emerging into its fabulous perspective is like taking a journey, there are many patterns and information to observe along the way and the will to reach the opening is imposing. Sharpness and clarity are great and so are colours and contrasts. Well done and thank you!
All the best,
Ourania

shevchenko (20560) 2012-03-27 1:51

Hi Goncalo,
Good vertical format to frame the view at a narrow back street, even the sky is only partly visible through a narrow space above the buildings, clear to show the tiling floor and beautiful houses, good perspective effect, distinct image, good shoot.
Ally

ChrisJ (171280) 2012-03-27 4:18

Ciao Goncalo,

Here, I like the upward pov & the stairs accentuating the effect on the vanishing point. Superb textbook use of diminishing linear perspective with nice shadow detail & sharpness. Tfs! Obrigado!

siudzi (34141) 2012-03-31 3:23

Hi Goncalo,

An interesting shot of this nice place found in Lisbon. Perfectly taken with a fantastic sense of depth! Like it a lot!

Have a great WE!

Vato_Law (12732) 2012-04-13 12:54

Olá Gonçalo.

bom uso da grande angular para obteres o máximo de profundidade nesta foto, com detalhes muito interessantes da calçada e paredes.
Este é apenas um dos muitos exemplos que abundam por Lisboa e que fazem dela uma cidade com muita magia.

Abraço.
Paulo

aliabazari (21331) 2012-04-16 17:19

Olá meu amigo Goncalo
Combinado com as belas ruas antigas e grande profundidade. Exposição bem feita.
