Bonjour, Ike,
Une bien jolie peinture réalisée ici. Le cadrage valorise bien le patrimoine de la ville.
Quant à ces bateaux amarrés se balançant au gré du vent, cela donne un charme évident à la composition.
J'aime beaucoup.
Amitiés.

Good Morning Ike,

It makes you want to sing 'Memories are made of this ...! A great memento of your Italiand holiday.

I like how you have composed the shot, with the boats in a diagonal across the frame, and paralleled by a second line. They make a natural lead to the pretty pastel houses, which surround the harbour and contain the interest in the f/g.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hello Ike,
A fine capture from this attractive seaside town with its busy harbour. The moored boats give the image depth with the church tower making a good focal point. Love the pleasant ambient light and soft pastel colours of the façades.

pierrefonds (48347) 2012-09-17 4:31

Hi Ike,

The distance between the boast and the buildings is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the buildings. The good luminosity is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Ike,
a wonderful view of Portofino including many rows of boats until the quay, the piazza and the hills. Depth and perspective are superb and inviting, you have achieved a very elegant and appealing composition. The light is lovely and invigorating, the colours vibrant and delightful. I particularly like the texture and colour of the sea, it looks like glass. Your workshop picture is lovely and of a great quality too. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a good night,
Ourania

Ike
Portofino tourism destination in the evening returns a village "intimate" and pleasant.
The villas lit and the harbor with its boats, wooden handicrafts and gems.
The church the dock.
What he sought writers and "travelers" in early 1900.
A POV and colors to "enjoy" the most of the scene.

Caro Ike

I can never tire of this paradise, thank you for sharing it with us, it's almost as good as taking the holiday myself :) Beautiful colours, graphisms and dynamism. The place looks so dynamic, so busy and so much fun. You have captured the colours, the atmosphere and the grand Italian style so well.

Un caro saluto
Lisa

josepmarin (55027) 2012-09-19 9:34

Hi Ike,
a splendid capture with a good framing, with which you offer us the great beauty of this village as in a beautiful postcard.
The wonderful architecture of the houses, their soft colors, the boats in the small port, and the hills in background, create a very attractive composition, with a good light and a high chromatic quality.
Nice work.
Best regards,
Josep
