Cerkev Sv. Jurija Photo

Photographer’s Note

The traditional sunday Papagolfade today comes from the Slovenian coastal town Piran on the Istria peninsula, I already had presented a panorama of Tartinijev trg, here is another angle where I had to crop vertically an originally horizontal shot in order to eliminate many parked cars obstruating the view, I post it because I like the height rendered by the succession of elements that resulted.

The Papagolfade is "Cerkev Sv. Jurija" or "St George church", formerly built in the XII th century, but the current appearance reflects a XVII th century rebuild.

very nice shot Jean Yves,
those two flower pots in front made the depth the photo needs, the composition is nice, the colours are good and the quality is good, very nice job.

Salut Jean Yves

I like the symmetry, & color coordination between the 2 fg flower pots of green & beige, with the almost identically colored edifices behind them. Well seen!

salut jean-yves,
interesting view of that square, i only passed through slovenia once and have no much idea about the country, but if i were to imagine how a slovenian town could look like - it should be like that today's posting of yours;
best wishes, j.

Bien vue!

Salut Jean-Yves
Another fine Papagolfade! This looks to be a very pretty little town, the smooth paving of the square almost looks like water. The clock tower reminds me a bit of the one in St Mark's Square in Venice.
Lovely colours and exposure.

Salut JY

Excellent shot very well framed. I like the vivid colors, the depth, the lighting and the POV. Excellent postcard shot.

Great shot of this old town. As others have said, you used the flowers in the foreground to give this some balance and show the expanse of the square. Great work!

Salut Jean-Yves,
J'aime ton respect de la tradition dominicale! :-)
Bonne idée d'avoir croppé cette image pour en faire un cadrage vertical. Le résultat est très agréable avec ce campanile qui domine les maisons colorés. Sympa aussi ces oiseaux dans le ciel, bien visibles malgré la reéduction de la taille de l'image.
Bonne soirée.
Bibi

Hi Jean-Yves.

I am surprised there are so much parked cars.
In order to get into the old town of Piran you need to pay a fee, and I wonder if it is allowed at all now. I love the way you took this photo, with the inclusion of the foreground, the open space, the old architecture and good portion of the clean sky. So much information in just 800px height. Amazing!

Hi Jean-Yves. Well the foreground is setup well here with the plants and the birds certainly add some interest up in the sky. Of course the architecture is oh so beautiful. Nice one JY!

Serwus Jean Yves !
This one has some typical warm, southern ambiance.
Well presented square in vertical. Clear and sharp, in fine natural colorsetting.
Be well,
Mat
