Photographer's Note
Nothing special, just a scene from Sol area in the Central district of Madrid.
Sol is the city-center and home to Madrid’s most popular meeting-point: “the bear statue” or as it’s called in Spanish, “El Oso y el Madroño”. Sol also marks Kilometer Zero, meaning that all of Madrid’s building numbers and highways stem from there. It’s literally the middle-point of the entire Iberian Peninsula. Sol is also the center-point of the city when it comes to transport, shopping and tourist destinations. All of Madrid’s most popular shops are located within walking distance from Sol, and there are plenty of restaurants, both new and old, to dine at. The Plaza Mayor is a hop skip away, and a ten minute walk from Sol will conveniently bring you either to the Prado Museum or the Royal Palace.

Hello Daniel,
"Nothing special" means that I like it ;-). Your typical vertical cropping makes very good use of the three narrow buildings of different colours and different characters. The people on the benches under the big tree contribute themselves by doing nothing, just sitting there. To me this is an excellent street photo.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Daniel,
The trio of diverse buildings make an interesting and colourful backdrop to this peaceful urban scene. The people sat on the benches chatting or deep in thought contribute much to the mood. Very good choice of the bookmark format.

Best! Serghei

Bonjour Daniel,
J'aime beaucoup le format de cette photo. Tout en hauteur , il accompagne à merveille le haut mur derrière les personnes sur les bancs publics. Très belle murale.
Bon samedi

Hello Daniel
Maybe the scene isn’t very special, but the way you composed this image certainly is. The strong vertical image gives us a pleasant view of these remarkable facades. The trees take care for the right dimension in the scene. The sitting people and the motorbike give the scene a lovely daily life atmosphere.
Excellent work
Have a good weekend

Hello Daniel,
the palette of cold tones has a mesmerizing effect, it creates an attractive and almost surreal context that makes the people stand out. I like how you measured the spaces and how you used sharpness to enhance the graphic result. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

Ciao Daniel
la presenza delle persone sedute è determinante per dare un senso diverso alla foto, gli da personalità, crea interesse e anche il senso della misura.
Buona domenica

Hello Daniel,
The mural is really big and seems rather old too. The people on the benches underneath the trees add a nice sense of scale as well as a fine impression of daily life. Well spotted.
