a different street, a photo from Barcelona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

This is a street in Barcelona, in the parc Guell area. Very different from the iconic streets of the old city or the large boulevards...

Hello Daniel,
that´s what I thought when saw your picture.Steep,narrow streets leading to Park Güell.Great shot,which conveys well the character and atmosphere of this part of Barcelona.A little bit off the main tourist paths,but still interesting.

Best regards
Krzysztof

Bonsoir Daniel
Un bon cadrage vertical pour cette scène de rue à Barcelone.Une bonne gestion de l'exposition sous ce ciel clair qui donne du contraste à l'image.
bonne nuit
Amicalement

I wonder if Barcelona is the most photographed city on TE? Despite this, you've given us a unique view here, far from the architectural masterpieces of the downtown areas. This is a nice look at everyday life in the city, with this sloping narrow street and interesting houses. You've expressed a downward slope well, which is not always easy to do, by including the various human figures in the shot and having a long DOF that shows the full length of the street. The lines in the shot, from the cables, the houses and the curb, all lead nicely to a central spot, drawing the eye down onto the street. Thanks!

Andrew

Salut Daniel,

Eu am ratat aceasta strada dar intr-adevar parca e ceva aparte pentru Barcelona. Imi place!

O saptamana excelenta!

Hello Daniel.
Great perspective that gives the great line of the street, very different from the old town square or part of blocks and straight streets, most elegant neighborhoods, this is another side of BCN.
Good lighting and sharpness.
I wish you a good start to the week.
Best regards.
Luis.

Have a good week - regards Brian.

Hello Daniel,
This is really quite different, not at all as I have imagined Barcelona (where I have never been). The long street gives the picture very good depth. The two women, the zebra crossing and the cars in the distant slope provide that impression.
Regards,
Gert

Hi Daniel,
I like this composition with a street of my city that is not its most known image, though that is the access to an icon of Barcelona, as the Park Güell, and that many tourists pass across this place.
The scene is spontaneous, vital and dynamic, the perspective is deep, the image has a great sharpness, and the light and the colors are nice in spite of the cloudy day.
A good work.
Best regards,
Josep

Hello Daniel
This looks like a pleasing street to stroll down. Your elevated POV gives us a nice overview over the long street with those residential houses in it. It shows a different side of this much visited and photographed city.
have a good day
Daniel

Hi Daniel
What I like about this is the muted colours and light with the wide view leading the eyes to the photogenic bg. You have managed to inject some vivid colours into the scene despite its has always looked grey to me. Great capture of concentration here, the couple is vital in the compo and essebtially your photograph captured the atmosphere perfectly well. Fine works, Congrats.
Kind regards
