Bonjour Roger,
La ville d'Evora est une perle. Ta photo montre très bien l'architecture et la décoration superbe de cettes façades.
Les balcons en fer forgé forment un beau contraste avec les teintes jaunes et vertes des façades ou des volets.
Slts, Paul

Malheureusement il y a quelque peu trop de surexpositions locale.
Dommage, parce que la compo est surprenante.
Bien vu.
Amicalement, Bobo.

Hi Roger,
They don't make buildings now like they used to, the lace work and detail in the painted facade's is wonderful, although the drop down security screens do take away some of the magic.
Excellent POV and your composition is perfect. Excellent quality.

Peter

Beautiful architecture, I like the geometry and the colors. This combination of yellow and white seems characteristic to the Portuguese traditional buildings...

Bonjour Roger,

La décoration des balcon et leur différent niveau sont des atouts à la composition. la prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs de l'architecture de la facde de l'édifice. L'image est claire et nette. La lumière fait ressortir les couleurs. Bonne journée.

hello Roger

Very interesting to see the cultural heritage of these buildings especially the artwork around the doors and windows that are symbolic of the times of architecture.

Good quality scan of this slide. The color is still vivid.

Bonsoir Roger,
l'angle utilisé dans ce cadrage serré est parfait pour donner une perspective très plate mais un graphisme excellent des balcons dans cette façade.
J'aime le résultat géométrique de la photo, qui a une bonne lumière et un beau coloris.
Très bonne réalisation.
Amicalement,
Josep

belido (16807) 2008-12-04 12:26

Oi, Roger
Muito bonita esta tomada; a cidade de Évora é muito charmosa, parece até que fica sempre esperando o clique. As sombras bem definidas formam determinados grafismos interessantes. Bela mostra. Abraço, Consuelo

jlbrthnn (38867) 2008-12-04 14:47

Bonjour Roger,
Tu as réalisé de la meilleure façon cette composition en montrant cette architecture décorée à l'aide d'une image au graphisme étonnant. Une belle image numérisée de haute qualité. Bravo.
Bonne soirée
Amicalement

paololg (14205) 2008-12-04 14:55

Ciao Roger,
stupendo dettaglio, perfettamente definito nei particolari ed accompagnato da una eccellente nitidezza. L'ottima gestione della luce dà l'impressione che la foto sia in rilievo. Shot perfetto, bravissimo!
Ciao
Paolo

Docarmo (8844) 2008-12-04 18:51

Bonjour Roger,
Un travail extraordinaire, on ne dirait pas qu'il s'agit d'une numérisation d'une diapositive. Bravo!
Le style de l'architecture ressemble beaucoup à celui des villes historiques du Brésil, naturellement ;-)
Merci pour le partage,

Nicou (45639) 2008-12-05 1:07

Jean-Luc (5488) 2008-12-05 4:18

Bonjour Roger,
Je ne connais pas cette ville d'Evora qui d'après ce cliché doit êre certainement très intéressante à visiter.
Cette composition graphique, avec ces balcons et leurs rembardes de fer forgé, est tout à fait réussie et les couleurs sont très lumineuses.
Amicalement
Jean-Luc

danos (33192) 2008-12-05 4:21

Hello Roger,
Evora i think is the paradise of a photographer.Excellent perspective with a tighten frame and with this yellow and green tints make the scene so different.UNESCO has right to declare the city of Evora,World Heritage site.

Have a nice weekend,Danos

Giorgio (8776) 2008-12-05 4:56

- Encore une fois, la couleur est au rendez-vous, l'effet graphique est également bien présent avec ces balcons de fer forgé, c'est très joli et réussi, bravo !
Passe un bon week-end.

Hi Roger,

Very nice shot, excellent details and the sharpness is perfect. Really like the colors on the building and balconies really make this photo stand out. Great job Roger.

Regards
Jason.

parbo (11006) 2008-12-05 8:30

Salut Roger,

Good caught of messy but colorful facade with its very unique yellow colors. White ornaments on facade, short balconies, especially ferro barriers are creates amazing texture. You captured them perfectly under difficultly powered light. Congratulations. Have a nice weekend.

Amitiés,

Ertugrul

snunney (35436) 2008-12-05 8:31

Hello Roger,
A very clear and crisp image of these lovely façades. I like the repeating motifs of the wrought iron balconies and the close framing, which works very well here. The interesting decorations are very well rendered.

testmaniac (12262) 2008-12-05 9:21

Hi Roger, great composed old photo! Wonderful POV and colors.

Os detalhes arquitetônicos são lindos e sua fotografia está uma beleza para mostrá-los. Que trabalho deve ter dado para construí-los.

polpo56 (8104) 2008-12-05 13:43

Ciao Roger,
Bella l'inquadratura e molto belli i colori della facciata delle case, ma soprattutto mi piace il movimento dato dai balconi sfalsati.
Buon weekend
Ludo

MarcT (21103) 2008-12-05 23:25

Salut Roger,
Superbes couleurs et bonne utilisation des perspectives des balcons pour donner du relief à l'image.

Bonjour, cher Roger,
Une diapositive qui n'a rien perdu de sa beauté (la numérisation est excellente).
Très intéressant sujet d'une façade gorgée de soleil (les stores sont baissés pour garder un peu de fraîcheur ?) !
Jolies ferronneries.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Vasa (6274) 2008-12-06 10:04

Bonsoir Roger, ami,

Hi Roger
Fine details in this beautiful picture with traditional colours of Alentejo.
I like your POv and how you framed it
TFS and have a nice Sunday
Aires

JCG (25741) 2008-12-07 6:43

Bonjour Roger,

Je remarque ici de belles et fines ferronneries, façade qui aurait besoin d'un tout petit rafraichissement mais faisant partie du patrimoine mondiale il doit y avoir un cahier des charges stricte à respecter je pense... Bon choix de l'angle de vue et du cadrage qui crée un jolie perspective. Beau scan et bon traitement de l'image. Merci Roger.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et un très bon dimanche,

Jean-Charles

philkat (146) 2008-12-10 2:44

adores (15741) 2008-12-14 13:34

Hi Roger!
Good composition with these balconies! The colours are very good and I like the way you framed them. Good work with the scanner!

danyy (69393) 2008-12-17 4:07

Bonjour Roger,
le motif répétitif et le cadrage créent le graphisme ici. Des teintes jaunes très criardes. Un petit repproche, une légère surex au niveau des blancs sous le soleil, mais les lumières étaient si fortes sans doute.
Amicalement.
Daniel.

gunbud (28143) 2008-12-22 17:49

Hi Roger,
You have captured these lovely balconies in generous warm light that bring out all their charming details.
Especially like how the green and yellow colors work so well together.
Merry Christmas and a Healthy Happy New Year.
