[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Coimbra is one of the most important urban centers of Portugal and plays a role as the chief urban centre of the central part of the country. The city contains important archeological remains of structures dating from the time when it was the Roman town of Aeminium, such as its well-preserved aqueduct and cryptoporticus, as well as from the period when it served as the capital of Portugal (from 1139 to about 1260).

Hi, Sergio,
A nice moment we call the golden hour for the magic light that gives an outstanding look to buildings and walls.
I find this shot quite suiting my theme "Walls and Prifiles"

Hi Sergio,
What a beautiful evening light! The colors are really warm and that city looks just great in this light.
This POV is also good.
Well done!

Sergio,
This is a very nice sunset shot. Your composition and POV are fine with the inclusion of the river in the foreground and the trees dividing it from the buildings. The low angle lighting adds nice warm colors to the great architecture. I think that the use of a polarizing filter in this shot would have helped prevent the glare on the building facades.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Sergio,

Low angled soft sunset lights are perfectly illuminates busy facades of Coimbra. Contrasts between terracotta roofs and soft colored facades are very attractive. Great capture, excellent colors of batiful city with many shining windows too. Congratulations. Have a nice weekend.
