Good afternoon Filipe

Good shot of the atmosphere on the streets of Bellagio, tells us very well as are the streets.

You got a good balance between light and shadow, are very difficult shots such as some parts you are badly burned or too dark the part of the street. Very good result.

For my taste would have chosen a vertical frame, would give them more depth to the stairs and we would see more foreign landscape, but that's about my taste.

Anyway is a very good picture

Greetings from Barcelona

Ciao Filipe,

Magnifique composition, tr鋊 color嶪 avec des tons chauds.
J'aime particuli鋨ement les forts contrastes entre cet orange satur�, ces jaunes, la verdure � droite et finalement les tons froids des collines et du lac dans l'arri鋨e-fond.
Le lampadaire, bien d嶲ag� offre un bel 廦uilibre entre le bas de l'image, avec les gens, et le haut.

Bravo et excellente journ嶪,
Adriano

Hello Filipe, Extraordinary colours in this very beautiful & very Italian image, I like your PP work, bright & eye catching. The man in blue looks like he has just come out of the wine bar ;-). In Australian slang when something is very good they it is a Pearler, photo & Bellagio are a Pearler.
Thank you

Hi Filipe
What a fantastic colors! simply delicious. Impressive framing and perspective with great depth. The light and shadows are managed so well. I like how the path and slope lead the eyes and love the way the crowd adds the scale and draws the viewers into far end of the alley. Thanks for the description. A delightful street shot.
Best regards

Ol� Filipe,
qu� pueblo tan bonito, y qu� colores tan vivos en su arquitectura.
Me gusta el juego de la luz con las sombras sobre las casas y la calle, y el gran toque verde que aportan las plantas y las flores que la decoran.
Buen ambiente de verano con la gente y los turistas disfrutando de un lugar precios, con la vista del lago al fondo.
Es un sitio que me gustar燰 visitar.
Buen trabajo, amigo.

Bonjour Filipe,

Area of Europe that I do not know but all these photographs on these splendid landscapes, and yours in form part, gives me really desire for making, one day, a voyage in Lombardy. A superb view from above on this coloured alley and where we can see part of this splendid lake. The light is very pleasant. Beautiful and interesting photograph, thank you Filipe.

With all my friendships and an excellent day,

Jean-Charles

Royaldevon (85862) 2011-03-10 0:25

Good Morning Filipe,

This is a very interesting and engaging pov; it really gives the impression of 'being there'. Your well-chosen dof gives lots of sharp details, with a gradual blurring into the distance.
The receding street acts as a fine lead to draw the viewer, at leisure, towards the distant water.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Filipe
A piece of art: The sun sets fire on hanging vines on the clair-obscur side of this lovely scenery and, of course, its reflexion on darker side of street depicts appealing mid-tones on taverns and historic buildingd.
This is the ideal merger of the three primary colors!
Many compliments.
