Olá amigo Gonçalo,
el super gran angular nos permite ver una vista espectacular de esta plaza, en un ángulo visual muy abierto, que a pesar de distorsionar un poco los edificios en los extremos del encuadre, funciona muy bien porque enfatiza el fuerte grafismo del pavimento en el primer plano.
Laluz y los colores son magníficos, y la composición es nítida, dinámica, y muy rica gráficamente.
Excelente trabajo.
Um abraço,
Pili e Josep

Hi Goncalo
yes, we have seen these snake like curves in these streets before, but please, keep them coming!
you love to shoot with the super wide angle lens don't you!
it puts the buildings in the bg on a tilt, but thats ok, its expected.
for obvious reasons, the photo has alot of visual interest from the shapes, colors and illumination.
well done
cheers
craig

Olá Gonçalo!
Este quadro lindo que explora as melhores qualidades de sua lente grande angular! Grande detalhe do piso pintado em primeiro plano, belas cores e definição! Muito bom mesmo a luz sobre as casas no fundo!
Saudações, Nino.

PaulVDV (12410) 2011-12-05 12:09

Olá Gonçalo,
I always admire the people in Portugal who pay so much attention at the design and the execution of the pavements on the streets and on the squares. I'm also glad that you immortalize these beautiful designs on the internet.
Once again the graphical effect is fabulous. It looks like long tentacles try to catch the passing couple.
I must not forget that the beautiful architecture of the City Hall is another great feature of this brilliant picture.
Best regards, Paul

emilbo (17644) 2011-12-05 12:51

Allô Goncalo!
La lentille utilisée donne une vue différente de tes précédentes photos de cette merveilleuse terrasse. Il doit être un peu étourdissant de marcher la-dessus. Excellente qualité d'image et bel effet graphique. Une photo de qualité et bien éclairée. Beau travail et belle harmonie de couleurs.
Toutes mes félicitations et bonne soirée,
Emilius

pierrefonds (42620) 2011-12-05 15:28

Hi Goncalo,

The lines on the sqware have a graphical effect. The wideness of the square is giving depth to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the architecture of the buildings. the morning light is enhancing the beauty of the colors. Have a nice day.

Olá Gonçalo,

These wavy cobble stone ground are characteristic of Portugal, and I like the was in which you've accentuated this particular street by making half of the scene just the street. Beautiful shot.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Goncalo,

The wavy structure is well emphasized due to the wide angel and colours and contrast are fine. TFS, best regards, F.

ikeharel (25421) 2011-12-06 1:01

Bom dia Goncalo,
The checkered pavement really give the feel of waves.
I think there is a little lense distortion showing the houses on far side a bit askewed angel, but the other details are fine in pic.

Ike

abmdsudi (15124) 2011-12-06 21:50

Hi Goncalo
A vertiginous viewpoint, not sure that my eyes would cope these days! a fascinating image in its own right for the colors, patterns and the abstract possibilities created by the various strong bold curves and the wavy illusion that make it so appealing distortion the effect of uktra wide lens and closeness. The single sole is just at the right spot to make it happening. Great effort and vision, Congrats
Best regards

stevesaba (7837) 2011-12-06 22:52

Ola Goncalo,
la magie du grand angle et sa manière efficace d'allonger les distances. Beaucoup de graphisme avec ce sol qui crée même un genre d'illusion d'optique.
Des couleurs vives aidées par des lumières parfaites.
Regards.

Excellent work! The inclusion of the streets to the framing is a nice example of good framing! Love how the lines curve its way to the Hall. The inclusion of the walking man is a nice scale. Brilliant lighting, vibrant colors! What more can I say, this is simply flawless! well captured!

Hello Goncalo,

This is a superb shot this wavy cobblestone square. love the patterns, colors and wide angle view. I like the way you have left the big space in the foreground empty.

Waylim (20275) 2011-12-12 18:34

Ola Goncalo,

I find many of your vertical photo very good, I like very much the depth you have captures. Great sharpness and texture from the foreground of stone pathment to the distant architecture. The presence of the people walking by adds sense of liveliness and provide a reference of scale. Good shot.
