Hi, Ana,
I find the POV chosen quite successful as it's resulted in a balanced composition.

Hi Ana,

Beautifull composition, Lovely tones.
Excellent in light management.
There feels two images here... that's a superb framing.
The man adds the delight to the shot.
Keep posting, dear friend..

Olá Anabela,
Magnífica luz e contraste com a outra margem do rio.
O homem subindo ajuda a perceber ainda melhor a forte inclinação da rua.
Bom fim-de-semana,
F

Bonsoir,
belle photo de cette petite ruelle qui monte avec ces jolies maisons, ces escalier blancs ressortent et attirent bien notre regard pour nous montrer que cette rivière ou ces arbres de l' autre bord se reflètent juste perturbés par ces lignes tracées dans l' eau troublée par cette petite embarquation qui remonte votre photo.jolies couleurs et bonne netteté.

Amitiés Thomas

Olá again. Mais um pov espectacular. "A few minutes after sunrise": Deduzo que estiveste a noite toda à espera do senhor Manel e que o barquito passasse. Está um pouco escura do lado esquerdo mas nisso, eu nem reparei :). Paulo

Very nice view, Ana. I specially like the foreground, where the last sun light enhance the colours. The composition is very nice and its good to see the old man walking.
Regards,
Zeca

Hi Anabela,

A superb composition. I love the diagonal lines of the roof and wall. The inclusions of the man in the street and the boat on the river makes it very vivid. The early morning light is beautiful. An excellent job.TFS!

Cheers,

Ulf

Ana,
Your composition is great here with the wall and walkway leading the eye through the photo. The lighting and colors are fine with excellent sharpness and detail. I think the use of a polarizing filter would have helped here by eliminating the glare on the white buildings and making the colors even more vivid.
TFS,
Asa

Ola Ana
From this POV, the perspective is very well defined, mainly by the wall
leading us to the white stairs. The Guadiana River on the left also creates a good lead-in with the boat moving away. Light is delicious & the man is a very important element here. This is fine work Ana...well done!
Regards
Angshuman

Hi Ana. Great photo. Difficult light with the white walls and deep shadow on the far bank but you still have detail in both. The man coming up the hill is a great focal point as is the boat on the river. Well captured and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Olá Ana,
Ficou muito bonita. Gosto imenso do enquadramento, com as casas ocupando todo o lado direito e a muralha conduzindo o olhar para aquela torre estranha por parecer um campanário sem igreja nem sinos. A luz é fantástica, com o sol sobre brilhar sobre as paredes brancas e o vale na sombra, mas onde há suficiente detalhe para perceber o que lá está. Os pormenores do rasto do barco e do homem de passada pesada dão mais um toque especial.
A luz ao nascer do sol é realmente espectacular! Quem me dera que conseguisse vencer a minha preguiça mais vezes! :-)
Um abraço, José.

Olá Ana,
Bela foto com o despertar de Mertola e este senhor vagueando pelas ruas ainda desertas.
A luz que banha as paredes das tipicas casinhas alentejanas é muito bonita e cria uma atmosfera muito rica.
Gosto bastante dos detalhes que se podem apreciar no lado direito da foto, e deste céu de tons suaves ou ainda do barquinho que vagueia pelas águas do rio.
Penso apenas que poderias ter 'aberto' um pouco mais os meios tones do lado esquerdo da margem permitindo ver mais alguns detalhes deste lado, deixo-te em WS uma ideia daquilo que falo, espero que não te importes.
Paulo

Hi Ana, Looking back into your site I came across this shot, your POV is excellent creating some superb composition, the eye following the wall too the little tower & the staircase at the end, the boat on the water leaving its wake rippling through the water & nicely finished with the man walking up the path, good contrasting light & nice colours, kind regards Wilson.
