IN THE TIME OF THE ONE HUNDRED YEARS WAR

Another very nice street shot Philippe. Fine lead of the road, good details in the houses. Maybe a litle to much of the shadow in here, still well made overall impression.

A very pleasant scene with excellent contrasty light and colors Philippe! I love the lighting keeping the one side dark...and the other in light!

Bonjour Philippe

Very good note. Who was the 100 years war between? France & England? Nobody wins wars imho. Everybody loses. I like the slight curve of the street. Thanks for sharing.

Rayons du soleil + éclairage dramatique du ciel agrémentent parfaitement ce joli décor.
L'alignement en courbe des maisons permet de bien apprécier ce village.

well Phillippe,
I know the problem from a to strong shadow, you show it us today. The photo is very nice, but I think in this case I had cropped a part of the shadow, farther you took it very well, good job

Hi Philippe, I have removed the first shade once, and the photograph was much improves, but this personal, I find you picture excellent and realistic, fortunately for us is the Middle Age over, the imminent sky above the street, very nice perspective Philippe! Well seen!

Bonjour Philippe, une jolie perspective qui met bien en valeur cette jolie rue moyennageuse, du joli travail avec ce ciel menaçant au dessus des têtes.
amitié/ Martine.

Bonjour Philippe, belle disposition en diagonale de ces maisons pour creer de la profondeur, j'aime bien ici le contraste entre la belle lumiere qui les eclaire et le ciel sombre et menacant au dessus. Par contre je trouve le cote gauche un peu sombre, mais bon on ne peut pas tout avoir. Bonne mise en valeur du style architectural dans la photo et la note.

Here,with some harmonical elements which you skilfully managed,I see a beautiful result.
Congratulation for this try,great in your series,Philippe,I love this light/shadows atmosphere,nicely composed,very beautiful with a lot of details.

Very impressive play of light and shadow again, in this deep view into the old street. A lot of details present in the bright area on the right, with the brick wall and the ivy-covered façades. The half in the shadow balances the composition well. Good photo, Philippe.

The weather is making this shot, the light against the shadows "playing" together in your street, therefore a great shot !

Rockyboy (20582) 2004-11-03 15:57

Un excellent cadrage et une lumière intéressante avec ces façades éclairées devant ce ciel sombre... Maintenant, j'attends l'arc-en-ciel ;)

Bien vu, Philippe!

The lighting in the shot is just excellent, Philippe. I especially like how the band of light in the street is sandwiched between the gloomy sky and the lower shadow. All the shutters on the windows are also good. Well sen and captured.

I like this perspective. Great choice Philippe.
Architecture is fine to me! Thanks for sharing.

salut Philippe, tu nous régales en ce moment. Belle compositon très dynamique avec cette rue qui emporte le regard et les contrastes importants entre les briques très détaillées et le gris menaçant du ciel. Les couleurs sont pétantes, j'aime bien ces moments là, c'est assez "photogénique"

gaetantgp (1310) 2004-11-04 19:46

Beau détails, beau jeux d'ombre et que dire de ce soleil qui est juste au coin de cette rue. Bien vu

The only critique here can be the left side of the image. I think a small croping here of shadow could be fine.

Bonjour Philippe,

Une bonne prise de vue des maisons de Gerberoy, la photo a une bonne composition, profondeur de champs et de belle couleurs. Bonne journée.
