The framing is excellent, and the colour of the light is gorgeous.
Very good sharpness, so. Your picture is full of simplicity, but very amazing.

sarhanp (124) 2005-10-09 10:33

Very sharp and warm, something makes this shot special but I could not find.

Finally good job, thanks for sharing.

Wonderful composition Maja!
I really like the colors of your picture. The red of the door fits perfect to the floor. Well done, Florian

Zdravo Maja,
Jako si lepo prikazala ovo mesto posle kise. Svidjaju mi se sve boje i senke. One uglavnom stvaraju malo tajanstvenu atmosferu koja mi se jako dopala u celoj kompoziciji. Sve najbolje. maki

une prise magnifique qui confirme l'apport esth彋ique de la pluie sur un clich�!

Very nice shot.
The rain gives something magical in the picture.
Thank you

Very beautiful textures and light Maja. It's a beautiful blend between the rough stones and the smooth road made more smooth by the reflective layer of water over it. The space is nicely controlled, too, by creating a triangle at the bottom between the two building facades and the area of the water fountain. It keeps my eye focused as it moves through this little corner of town. Perhaps the only thing I might suggest is correcting the perspective distortion since the building on the right has the appearance of falling over. But beyond that it's a beautiful spot with a peaceful quietness and a nice cleansed feel from the recent rain. Nicely captured.

Very moody atmosphere, should be smelling wet stone. Ummm right...

Hi Maja,
That's a nice and moody picture, Kotor seems to be a very attractive place as I see here from your excellent framing, you got also good colors that complement well the wet pavement.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Beautiful architecture ... dark and light areas make this fit to the medieval character, also the lack of people (very lucky that you were able to take a photo of this without anybody in it!) make it an 'abandoned' look, again, to emphasize the 'century-old' feeling to it.

fabio_ts (13696) 2005-10-13 4:45

WOW...and WOOOW again, a spectacular composition Maja, simply wonderful.. fantastic lights and so well cropped ..BRAVISSIMA!!!
ciao, Fabio.

Elric (560) 2005-10-13 20:05

Magnificent. Ode to simplicity. Perfect framing and lighting, with very good sharpness and POV. Sometimes I wonder: if we love stone bulidings so much, why do we now stay in those ugly concrete apartments? Very nice photo Maja, thank you!

Resembles streets described by Isabel Allende.
I like the magical reality of the street as well as the brooding quality of the houses. Very well exposed and framed. The fountain (?)in the foreground has added depth to sharp and clear photograph. The colour around the door frame sets off the ancient stones. Well done, Maja.

Hi Maja
great simple shot. Warm colours and strong composition. I like it very much. TFS.

red_hunter3 (95) 2005-10-16 18:20

Maybe the best photo from your collection!!!

the atmosphere (thanks to the colors, the composition, the light very well worked) is extremely strong...

I don't like: I LOVE!!!

thanks

AnimeshRay (9089) 2005-10-19 15:12

Maja,
Very nice framing and color that provide a quaint image of the old city. It seems that I may have a photo at exactly the same place or perhaps very close by. Here it is

Beautifull !

Hi Maja, A very simple, but effective composition! The colour tones you achieved are really beautiful as are the textures. The mood after the rain is very well captured - good title! The sense of rain is very palpable and I can even smell that wonderful fresh smell of the rain on the pavement. Really well done! Sabine

tityop (6225) 2005-11-20 6:23

Maja,
Je parcours votre gallerie avec beaucoup d'attention, et je dois vous dire que c'est un pur plaisir !!!
Cette photo est superbe, riche en d彋ails...
le cadrage vertical est vraiment top.
magnifique!!
Amicalement Thierry

Odlican kadar, Majo. Skidam kaubojski sesir za ovo.
Inace je Kotor za mene jedan od najlepsih gradova sveta, pa mi je ovaj kadar vrlo poznat (mislim da i ja imam ovaj delic starog grada fotografisan, jedino sto sam ga okinuo iz drugog ugla).
Jos jodnom, svaka cast Majo i za kadar i za naknadnu foto obradu.

Albrecht (11283) 2005-12-07 7:53

Great Picture, Maja, I really enjoy the way the sun rays only lighten some parts of the wall and just the whole setting in this picture, looks very cosy. Reminds me of home. I also looked at other pictures that you have posted, I most of them are simply put very pleasent, great work. Marek

klyee75 (778) 2006-02-05 20:04
