Photographer's Note

Hello friends and colleagues, today I propose this composition with some nice detail Benaocaz villa, hope you like it, then some letters on the history of the town.

It is located in the Sierra del Endrinal Tavizna River south, and is part of the Route of the White Villages.

There is evidence of human habitation from prehistory (the Veredilla Sima, [VI millennium BC]) and then testifies Iberian and Roman presence. That time is the road that connects with Ubrique Benaocaz of the few that remain in the area.

Hello Angel,

I like your POV and all this white agaist which the green of tree makes a good contrast. It's shadow brushing the wall seems to offer protection against th heat. The good light brings out the colors and the sharpness is very good.

Best regards

Hello Angel,

A splendid picture, maybe alone the part of the small car is a little bit disturbing.
But the clock tower makes everything good.
Nice perspective and depth image.
Excellent composition, nice presentation too.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John

Hola
Final precioso blanco y claro. Este es un banco muy agradable bajo un árbol - el lugar perfecto para relajarse. Torre de la iglesia hermosa en el fondo. Sin embargo, esta pieza del coche un poco estropear la composición. Excelente color y calidad de imagen.

Hola Angel,
Su elaboración es muy inteligente. Me encanta el uso de los árboles y el frente de la casa para adaptarse a la torre. La imagen es brillante, soleado y claro. Bravo.
¡Qué tenga una buena noche
Saludos
Joël

Hi Angel,
such a cozy little corner packed with lots of things:) There's a tree with a cute lamp over it and a stylish bench beneath, a beautiful turret ad a white car to finish the scheme. Don't really know where the focus of attention should be:) I think excellent contrast is the best part of this shot.
Thanks and best wishes
Marina

mirosu (5509) 2013-02-08 18:15

Hi Angelo,
You have produced really striking image here. The best composition are always the simplest, and your arrangement of the tree with the beautiful white house within the frame certainly has impact. Vertical arrangement is an excellent choice The contrast against blue sky adds nice hue to the scene. Well done.

adramad (27550) 2013-02-09 11:26

Hola Angel.
Que bonitos rincones se encuentran en estos pueblos blancos, un encuadre fantastico en el cual solo sobra el coche, pero pesan un poco para moverlos.... encantadora esa pequeña casita que se ve en el tejado, me pregunto si es una chimenea o una casita para pajaros?, resulta simpatiquisima.
Muy buena gestion de las luces y sombras que te dan muy buenas texturas en los blancos, algo no facil de conseguir.
Un gran trabajo amigo mio.
Difruta de un feliz fin semana.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

HOla Angel ,
Dommage que la voiture était garée là , mais comme est les blanches , on ne la voit pas trop Et il était imposible de l'éviter pour composer ainsi l'image avec l'ouverture sur le joli clocher . Un bel endroit pour s'asseoir sur le banc à l'ombre du petit arbre .
Amicalement

josepmarin (55023) 2013-02-09 12:06

Hola Ángel,
ya sabes que disfruto con tus buenas fotos de la arquitectura blanca de los preciosos pueblos andaluces, que estoy deseando visitar algún día no muy lejano.
Fantástico contraste entre las casas y la iglesia tan blancas, con respecto a los bonitos verdes del árbol y las palmeras, que podemos disfrutar en esta bella composición, en la que la luz y las sombras juegan un gran papel estético y gráfico.
Es un trabajo fino y elegante, realizado con gusto.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hi Angel

the whites truly do stand out strongly. and when you combine that with the blue and white sky it makes for a very pleasing scene.
and the green tree also stands out nicely.
