[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another photo from the walk I had thru the streets of Constancia.

Here one of Constancia's main squares. As you can see life slowly goes by, few people at the streets, only having a small chat at the esplanade.

Nevertheless, Constancia has a very appealing atmosphere and charm, a true pleasure to take a walk thru the narrow streets, watching all the details of its white and yellow painted houses.

Also interesting is to climb the hill all the way up and have a look of at the town with Tagus river flowing at its 'feet'.

Hope you enjoy the photo!

Hello Paulo,
beaucoup de caractère dans les couleurs fortes de cette photo, les lumières sont vraiment bien domptées, ne laissant aucune chance aux ombres de nous cacher quoi que ce soit.
Joli ciel pour une atmosphère paisible.
Regards
Daniel.

Paulo,
A fotografia está muito bonita, com composição de primeira e um excelente ponto de tomada. Incríel a semelhança com um lugar qualquer da cidade de Ouro Preto. Linda mesmo.

Abraço

Paulo

Olá Paulo,
arquitetura bonita essa, a iluminação foi o mlehor dessa foto, deu um destaque bonito, além da boa inclusão das pessoas no bar.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hi Paulo, of course i'm enjoying this picture, i imagine myself there on this place, spending a whole afternoon on a chair watching peole walking with tranquility around those streets and enjoying life ... reading a newspaper or a book and having some sun rays, yes for sure it would be a great afternoon. Thanks for the moment of traveling :)

Paulo,
Your composition is nice here showing this nice square with it's monument placed to one side. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and DOF. The areas of sun and shadow create nice contrast through out the shot.
TFS,
Asa

Hello Paulo

What a great place. The village seems to be so peaceful. I think it's a marvelous place where spend holidays.
The light is very well managed, and gives some beautiful warm colors.
Great moment, thanks for sharing.

Regards,
Karine

Fine place and superb light. Amazing shadows therefore.
Regards.

Bom dia Paulo, espero ver essa vista do cimo da colina no teu próximo post :) A calma que se respira aqui é muito agradável e a luz está fantástica. Apesar de ter bons contrastes de cor lá atrás, toda esta zona de sombra está com excelentes detalhes, o que me faz pensar nas tuas perícias do pp (aquelas que tu dizes não serem nada de especial...).
Um abraço,
ricardo
p.s.- já estive várias vezes para a acabar com a balda, mas a verdade é que estou a gostar...mas esta semana prometo publicar alguma coisa.

Olá Paulo,
Boa composição, cores bem contrastadas e luminosidade no ponto.Bonito este largo embora um pouco desertificado a ver pelos prédios quase devolutos.
É uma pena, mas as pessoas destes locais também procuram melhores condições de vida.
No global é pena o Pelourinho estar um pouco torto.É da lente que provoca este tipo de efeito ou foi algum pp para endireitar algo.
Um abraço,
Filipe

Hi Paulo,
beautiful square an picture. You've handled the difficult light and contrast very well. The colours and composition are excellent.
Regards, gerrit

Hello Paulo,

Tu déniches toujours de très beaux bouts de rue. Celui-ci en fait partie. Jolie petite place, pour cette photo bien composée.
Marie

Ola Paulo

It is certainly a beautiful composition, in a very traditional environment, which can be seen

The point of view is very well managed, with good handling of light and an excellent composition. The tones and textures on the walls, the stone floor, as well as the monument and people enjoying some good coffee, detailing a nice job.

John

Oi Paulo ,
Muito bonita esta praça central da vila de Constancia algumas casas estão a necessitar de obras, ficou fantástico o Pelourinho junto do lado esq. da foto , gostei muito das cores bom contraste ,parabéns!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Olá Paulo,
definitivamente, tus fotos me hacen desear visitar tu país, me gusta lo que nos muestras en ellas, la arquitectura, la pintura blanca y amarilla en las fachadas, todo siempre muy fotogénico.
Has trabajado magistralmente con la luz y sus sombras, y me gustan mucho las farolas y la fuente en tu encuadre.
Es un trabajo excelente y con una gran calidad de imagen.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Olá Paulo,
linda praça! A coluna me lembrou aquela existente em uma praça de Évora.
Suas fotos são primorosas e mostram sua sensibilidade ao retratar os cenários portugueses. Um país lindo, imerso em História, com um povo acolhedor. Você tem fotografado alguma coisa de Setúbal?
Parabéns!
Jairo.
