Salut Lili,
Frumoasa poza cu un loc deosebit ca si arhitectura si culori.
Ii bine ca ai postat si originalul pentru ca dupa parerea mea
se completeaza oarecum,pozaeditata fiind mai artistica,iar originalul
ne ofera mai multe informatii despre acest superb loc.

ah, what memories this shot brings... :) the enormous Bodleian library, the cozy pubs and cafes, the crazy study schedule and, above all, the unique feel to the city and the amazing architecture. your shot perfectly conveys the mood of the place - mixture of medieval and modern with a splash of colour and with the dominating feeling of contemplation, academic discussions and disputes.
as to the shot - I like a lot the simple composition you've chosen with the strong diagonal lines. if I wanted to nit-pick, I'd say the lower left corner of the door in the foreground should not be cropped, but that's a minor detail. excellent shot.
best,
Kristine

What a shot of these old but beautiful buildings with the ivy draped on them. The colors are beautiful and the rich flavor of the doors add strength to the scene. Good angle to take the shot.
Well done...

A bientôt sur TE pour de nouvelles aventures.

Very nice composition. I like the detail you've captured of the fall colors on the ivy. It gives a nice sense of the history of the place, while the bicycle and two youngsters give a nice sense of the university atmposphere. Well done.

Hi Liliana,
I really like how you got all the colors from the vegetation growing on the brick walls. I hate to say it though but prefer the wider view with the road but either way its a great quality shot.
Cheers,

Nice shot, I like the plants over the buildings.
The perspective in your WS, is working better though, but you obviously wanted to avoid the white sky. I don't know, I like both pictures each for a reason. The one without the burned sky and the other with it.

Hi Lili. You sure have some great textures here. With the sky not being that great you were wise to try and keep most of the composition on the building and street. I might have waited a second or two more for the people to move foreword a bit. Great shot Lili!

Hello Liliana,
This is a spectacular chance for me to reminisce. I spent years there, studying, doing research, and even published a book "Oxford and the English Countryside." Magdalen Street I see, which changes its name every block along the way. Excellent composition, perspective, colors and resolution.
Warm regards,

Hi Lili, this one is nice, i love this wall with fallen leaves, full in fall season, this is the must of the picture and you were right to put it so large in this compo.
Good inclusion of this couple, that brings a little life in this naturalistic compo even if they are perhaps too much on the right.
Again you push hard sharpness
Nice anyway :)

Servus Lili,
Ce interesant arata casele acoperite cu plante! Mai ales in culorile toamnei!
Personal imi place mai mult varianta originala numai ai grija cand fotografiezi arhitectura sa nu "cada" cladirile pe spate. Multumesc!
Duminica placuta!

Hallo Lili,
I like the colourful leaves on the facades on the small lovely curve of them. Good exposure and the wooden door is very nice, could be a small touch brighter for some more details I think (like the original). The two there walking are a pleasant addition.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hey Lili,
I actually prefer your workshop photo over this one. I feel as if this is cropped a bit too much, as I liked the detail and contrast the street added in your WS. I also think the black frame worked better with the colours in the photo.
Good inclusion of the couple, and the bike. The leaves on the wall are really pretty.
Regards,
David

Such unique 'pattern' of details/texture shall I say. The lovely composition starting from its left the doorway, the bicycle and the plant like that grips to the wall of the surrounding buildings. Adds colour to the gray November day!

this is a magnificent view I believe that the only thing this street would look better is if you took it from a different angle including more of the houses but I sense you wanted to reflect the gate and bicyle too . Nice
