Fragments of Porto, a photo from Porto, North

Photographer's Note

First version got deleted due to an "elaborate frame".

Porto is all about diversity, mixing old and new, light and shadows, buzzling places and quiet streets.

Hi Emmanuel,
I think that you could submit all three pictures as separate postings - all of them are extremely beautiful and present the special atmosphere of these places. Well seen and done. Moody composition.

Best,
Gosia

Bonjour Emmanuel

Usually I don't like these collages that much, but here it works superbly. All three pictures are very different, yet there's a strong unity of tone, a great feeling of locale. The collage adds a surplus to each individual picture.
Thumbs up & bonne semaine.

Benny

I'm not at all sure why an elaborate frame counts as too much processing, but I'll repeat my comment on yesterday's: all three are excellent shots in and of themselves, and I'd like to see each in full, but together they make a brilliant triptych of the variation of experiences in Porto. Varied subjects, but all are of a similar style here, with a pinhole camera feel from the sharp vignetting and muted color. Very stylish and eye catching. Thanks!

Salut cher Emmanuel

Wow,each of these photos on their own is worthy of a post, but I love the way you have combined them in a beautiful montage - I hope that's the correct word. My favourite without doubt is the first photo on the left. I lie the angle at which you shot it, the strong colours, contrasts and amazing perspective. The second is a bit more arty and abstract and the third one almost looks Parisian in the way it's been composed. Nice work, a very artistic and unique collection of photos.

Warmest regards
Lisa

Emmanuel
C'est bien ce que je craignais....on n'aime pas trop l'originalité sur TE. Cette version plus classique est très réussie également même si je préférais la présentation de l'autre.
Amicalement
