Hello Fransisco,
This is a lovely and interesting picture. There's a long and very well placed perspective maintaining clarity. There's also a contrast and balance between bright and darker colours, between the still straight lines of the buildings and the freedom and fluidity of human movement.
All the best
Ourania

Hi Francisco,

Great shot. The detail and sharpness is very good. This is what I would imagine a quiet lane in Brazil to be like :)

Thank you for sharing

Hola Francisco,
Beautiful picture of this cobbled street running up the hill. In the view upwards, I find a remarkable succession of balconies, colourful signs and street lights.
The picture is full of life showing this neighborhood where many people still spend time on the streets.
Best regards, Paul

ciao Francisco,
mi piace la prospettiva colta nel vicolo in salita tra le case.
Buona la luce di una scena ben animata con un'ottima colorazione del cielo,

Hola Francisco!

Nice POV, gives us a pretty much complex view of the street. What I liked is the distinct lamp posts, which is really nice, the understated effect of HDR really works well on the scene. Great composition and framing!

Have a great day,
Matt

Buen t癃ulo para esta foto, aunque los paseantes est嫕 m嫳 bien tranquilos... ︿er� que acaban de bailarla! Me gusta la perspectiva ascendente y la naturalidad de la cotidiana escena,la vida misma congelada. Buena foto que ilustra no s鏊o el lugar, sino tambi幯 sus gentes.

abmdsudi (95869) 2011-12-08 9:59

Hi Francisco
I love the chaotic feel to the backdrop. Perspective wise the eye is drawn all the way up the slope and beyond. There is loads of interest to explore and It must have been pretty cool actually being there, the historic old town feel with a bit of a washed out look. A strong composition, bringing out the typical colors and architecture in the best possible way and you have captured that impression of times past so well and this speaks volumes about the country. Great capture, light and shade managed very well and the crowd gives an indication of the height of the buildings. An excellent street scene, so full of character. Great shot, Congrats and TFS
Best regards

nobuikehonda (3848) 2011-12-08 12:19

Hello Francisco,

This street is alive; this is truly a great daily life photograph. From the pavement up to the sky, the street is filled with all sorts of signs which tells us how the street is in fact a living creature. This is a daytime photo; I wonder what the street would be like during the evening. So many street lamps, which somehow tell me that, this street is also very active at nighttime. Your POV is set in the centre of the street creating an extremely strong symmetrical view. Straight down the street we are led to see this surpassingly well-animated street. The randomness of the displacement of the people, the randomness of their activities, every detail is set to create the impression of daily activities involving everyone who sees the barrel vaulted view. I must say that the view you provided for us is just as alive as this particular street and its atmosphere. I like how the view is observed and presented for us.

With my very best regards,
Have a very imaginative evening as this photo, Francisco
Nobu.

cagla (4342) 2011-12-10 3:26

This is the kind which I love to take and watch, vertically framed narrow old streets with old buildings at both sides. Thanks for sharing a very daily image from Salvador which is so far to us.It is so good to see the people in their daily routines in your shot. Regards.

I'll be back ;)

josepmarin (59385) 2011-12-16 3:50

Hola Paco,
esta calle me recuerda alg𠒇 pueblo de Espa鎙 o incluso de Portugal, por su arquitectura, su calle adoquinada, sus farolas, y por su atm鏀fera popular.
Tu encuadre es muy eficaz y capta una profunda perspectiva de la calle, que por su pendiente lleva nuestra mirada hacia el cielo azul con algunas nubes.
La composici鏮 es elegante y muy rica gr塻icamente, est� bien iluminada y tiene una alta calidad crom嫢ica.
Un abrazo,
Josep

COSTANTINO (116580) 2011-12-17 4:35
