Like a modern Pop Art painting for the colors...
And a surrealism Art...AND the lady is inside a rectangular frame of optical illusion....

Thank you

Wonderfully crazy buildings and a good composition. The cars and the woman match the houses well.

Hello Willem
Your angle makes the most of these marvellous 'slices' of colour.The black shadows in the foreground provide contrast, and even the cars are not a problem in this shot.
Great!
Best Wishes Maggie

cool place!
The colors really give the place a unique concept.
The composition lacks in some aspects but i don't know the place to say if it was possible to do better

Hi Willem,

Good composition. Nice colorful houses very well captured. Good point of view and sharpness.

Best Regards,

Hi Willem
amazing street with these houses like a rainbow.
well done.

Willem, this is a great shot! Love the colours and the light. It is possible to crop it a bit to get an even more striking image, imo, but that's a minor quibble. Great work, Maat!

There's something in common between this photo of yours and this one: a feast of bright colours and peculiar patterns.
