Here you have another Spring shot taken on the same day and place of other two I have posted some months ago [1, 2].

Parque Eduardo VII is the the largest park of the centre of Lisboa. Its name comes from the British King who inaugurated it officially in 1902. The park already existed before that, but in those early years of the 20th century (the last ones of the monarchy) it was much enlarged and improved.

The image is a stitch of 3 horizontal shots taken without tripod. I used hugin to do the stitch.

WS's: Two photos of a flower in Estufa Fria, a botanical garden that is located in the park [1, 2]. These are one of the few photos of its kind that I ever tried.

Posts by other TE members of this park featuring much the same POV: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Olá José,
Stitch de excelente qualidade. Destacam-se aos meus olhos a simetria e a notável profundidade. A luminosidade é de primeira categoria e, na versão grande, tem-se a impressão de estar lá. A flor do WS é muito bonita e as imagens primam pelo bom uso do foco.
Parabéns!

bonjour josé
belle realisation , la profondeur est tellement grande qu'on est littéralement aspiré par la composition de cette image aux lignes bien marquées.
en version large c'est encore plus flagrant.

Olá José,
even we had not been there this year, this is for what I remember from 1983. Wonderful way to go back in time :-) Strong view down to the Tejo and fine details from the park with its interesting structure. Here the symmetry works as it does in reality also.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

also the great lighting makes this image looks even more beautiful and cheerful to enjoy
many thanks for the larger version as well
have a great weekend, my friend from Portugal

Hello José,
A great panorama with an amazing perspective. One has to view the large version to really enjoy the high quality if this shot with excellent depth and sharpness. The stitch is made in a skilful way. Good natural colours. A beautiful and impressive park. Good work!
Greetings,
Lasse

Olá José,
na hora que vi seu post lembrei da imagem do Aires, não propriamente que a imagem era dele, mas ja tinha visto ela aqui no TE. É uma vista muito bonita essa, mas uma pena o polarizador ter manchado o céu, ja reparei que ele não é indicado para panorâmicas justamente por causa disso, mas mesmo assim um belo trabalho, com ótima qualidade.
Parabéns e Abraço

José,
O parque é lindo e, apesar de muito fotografado, parece que vocês conseguem sempre encontrar um POV novo. Boa foto.

Abraço

Paulo

Bonsoir Jose
Une effet de profondeur vraiment impressionnant avec toutes ces lignes qui produisent un effet d'entonnoir vers le centre. La clarté et la netteté le sont tout autant. Excellentes couleurs. La vue est plus large que la vision humaine. Un travail remarquable et digne de mention. Bravo!
Amicalement
Denis!

Muito boa a tomada desta bela vista, José. O gramado verde e seus desenhos fazem bonito primeiro plano.
Bom fim de semana!

Jose,
I remember seeing the same place in Goncalos gallery quite I while ago. I think his POV was higher shwoing the whole stretch of the garden down to the water. The symmetry is striking and the light is a good one to provide nice contrasts between the light exposed areas and the shadows.

omerozden (1259) 2008-10-04 7:40

hello jose,
symmetry worked well in this composition.
you have managed the light quite well.
however the details created by grass have been lost in this composition. but i think it is not possible to capture those details without extra equipments like ladders.
regards,
omer

Ola Jose,
seeing the LV and putting the image in the horizontal middle,i think that i'm in the place and enjoying the view.Excellent the POV that lead the eye to the buildings on the far distance.I like this panoramic view from the Eduardo park.Well done my friend.

Have a nice weekend,Danos

Hi Jose, What great depth, superb symmetry & brilliantly composed, a wonderful panoramic view, kind regards Wilson.

So much space, one of the true luxury items was still given to a couple hundred thousand of Lisbon inhabitants in 1902.
The two million that joined after no more got that chance.
100 years later, even if most of the park is still there, there is no way to capture the harmony of what once was this perspective.
Beginning with the horrible buildings on Pombal square.

Ola Amigo Jose
Para alem dos magnificos de talhes na versao 'large version' as cores e luminosidades estao magnificas.

Um abraço
Aires
Bom fim de semana

Hello José. Very good wide perspective of this pristine landscape. The light and shadow crossing the hedges provide good contrast and the details of the backdrop is so sharp. Very good work deserved to be in top shelf. Well done and keep shooting and sharing. Best regards. Jusni

Hello José,

I looked with a lot attention toward your LV picture, one word, FANTASTIC.
Composition and quality are superb.
Panorama view and perspective are wonderful and of great quality.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,
John.

pablominto (53746) 2008-10-05 3:00

Hello José,

You have squeezed a lot of fine details into the frame!
The post processing is skillfully done, very nice work indeed...
The colour palette is influenced by the warm light, the fresh green of spring is very attractive!

Greetings,

tober (8797) 2008-10-05 7:08

Hi Jose, excellent perspective which allows us to see the Rio Tejo through Marques de Pombal Square. I prefer the laqrger version of course, in which we can see more details. Best regards, Tolga

trekks (14348) 2008-10-05 8:15

hello jose

3 horizontal shot? I thought most LP is vertical format to be stitched? Anyway I have yet to try LP. And a good job for hand held shots.

The park is empty! Such a big park without a single person, what a surprise. But I like the vast open space of the park with trees only at each side to give clear lawn good for a public event hosting. And what a great view of the city at the far end from this angle.

tfs, bill

mikeo (12129) 2008-10-07 13:39

Ola Jose,

Great result in a large version! Really perfect stitch and superb idea to show this place from this POV and in this version. You were lucky to have so nice weather and in result colours are excellent.

Very good job!
Greetings,
Mikeo

Quantas fotos foram montadas?
Um abraço,
Filipe

Hi José,
Excellent panorama view of this park. The large version is splendid too with great quality. The pretty low sunlight works really well too here and brings out the colours nicely. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Hola mi estimado amigo Jose:

Esta toma es sencillamente extraordinaria. El punto de vista bajo, hace que el contexto horizontal sea bien aprovechado hacia lo ancho.

Gran profundidad, y diversos detalles, decoran equilibradamente la composición, con bellas tonalidades, y un adecuado manejo de la luz.

Excelente trabajo,

John

Benedict (7076) 2008-10-14 5:38

hi jose,
splendid panorama with all detailed perspective.
the vast green color adds the vibrancy.
Benedict

JCG (35153) 2008-10-14 8:42

Bonsoir José,

Je me souviens de la photo de Aires sur ce magnifique parc et ta photo en version large nous donne une toute autre vision de cette descente vertigineuse sur le monument en contrebas. La lumière de fin de journée est très appréciable et donne des ombres intéressantes sur la partie droite de l'image apportant une profondeur supplémentaire à la photo. Beau stitch José et merci pour la note toujours intéressante.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,

Jean-Charles

Olá José,
Mesmo que sejam naturais, não gosto das manchas no céu. Também acho que esta foto mostra demasiada "erva" em primeiro plano; o panorama é lá mais à frente.
A foto e o trabalho de processamento estão razoáveis. Digo isto porque já nos habituaste a muito melhor. Suponho que poderás voltar ao mesmo sítio e tentar melhor, talvez num dia com o céu mais atraente.
Um abraço,

Impresionante panoramica, con esos jardines laberinticos, muy bonitos colores y contrastes, un equilibrio y perspectiva optimo,
buena profundidad con la estatua, anima a la visita! Buen trabajo!

Un saludo,
Elena

Bluejeans (64251) 2008-10-22 5:30

Oi José,
Esta tua panorâmica do Parque Eduardo VII ficou com uma profundidade magnifica em que conseguiste um ângulo de visão enorme , gostei muito dos tons de verde , é um belo lugar para tirar umas fotos :), parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

riclopes (35577) 2008-11-14 1:08

Olá José, é uma bela de uma Large Version que enche totalmente o ecrân do meu portátil. Aliás, até nesta versão reduzida dá para apreciar bem a vista. Curiosamente, é a 1ª vez que noto a transição de exposição nas diferentes fotos, especialmente no lado direito: a relva mais bonita do lado direito parece queimada pelo sol quando comparada com a outra relva. Por outro lado notam-se a transição de tonalidades no céu de foto para foto. Mas tudo isto é só depois de se observar com mais atenção. A uma 1ª vista tudo me parece muito bem. Os WSs são uma surpresa e acho que o WS1 está muito bom mesmo.
Um abraço,
ricardo
