Yet another postcard from Tossa de Mar Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here it goes another postcard of one of the most postcardish places of the beautiful North-East coast of Catalonia. Like I have written in my previous posts, it's quite amazing that it manages to keep so charming at the same time it is a such a hot spot on mass tourism.

Olá José,
Linda vista, muito bem escolhido este ponto de vista. O barranco e a árvore à direita complementaram o visual maravilhosamente. O fato de haver sombra no primeiro plano parece realçar ainda mais a beleza, como se o sol funcionasse como um holofote sobre a cidade. E a luz está muito bem dosada. Parabéns!

Hello Jose,
this is really a postcard picture of a very beautiful place.
Superb colors, great sharpness and an oustanding POV makes this a perfect composition. Congratulations. I like the tree and its branches on the right very much.
Best wishes,
Helmut

Hi Jose, I really like this view a lot. The tree in the front really adds a lot to the whole picture. What's a beautiful city with mountains around. Love it. It is a really nice postcard. Sothy

"Post Card" ou não, é uma vista lindíssima.
Como não acrescenta nada de especial, eu teria cortado a piscina do lado esquerdo. Acho-a um ponto de distracção.
E aquelas torres são o quê?

Hello José,
The overhanging branches are very good for the composition of this picture. Nice presentation of this interesting town with the beautiful towers and many white houses in a green surrounding.
Best regards, Paul

Olà José
PDV plongeant intéressant qui nous fait découvrir la ville avec les collines à l'arrière. Je remarque une bonne maitrise de la lumière estivale et l'impact du polarizer qui a donné de bonnes couleurs. L'image #2 permet de voir de plus près le château encastré dans les rochers.

Hello Jose,
mis-à-part la format, il est vrai que cette photo est une réelle carte postale très colorée de ce joli coin d'Espagne. Un premier plan judicieux avec cet arbre, construit la profondeur, achevée par les montagnes de l'arrière plan.
Une photo nette et soignée.
Excellent week-end.
Daniel.

Hi Jose. Very pretty place basking in the sun under a lovely blue sky.The pine branches above the two towers frame the town nicely. Excellent sharpness. Regards. Klaudio.

Olá José!
Que bela fotografia! A nitidez e a luminosidade estão perfeitas! As cores estão naturais e muito bonitas! Gosto do ponto de vista escolhido, bem alto, dando uma boa visão geral do lugar - sempre procuro lugares altos para registrar esse tipo de imagem! A composição é o ponto alto da imagem, em que foram usadas essas árvores, acrescentando-lhe interesse, beleza e profundidade de campo! Gostei bastante! Parabéns, abraços e até logo!

Hola mi amigo Jose

Mi gusta mucho este escenario, por la gran cantidad de elementos que se observan. Lo anterior hace que la composición sea excelente, todo dentro un adecuado manejo de la luz.

Perfecto encuadre, la inclusión de la rama con un alto protagonismo ha sido buena idea, y gran nitidez

Excelente trabajo. Saludos desde Colombia

Hi José,

Lovely setting against the saturated blue sky. Amazing depth captured with such fine details looking down the civilization. Nice division of land and sky. I like it and thanks for sharing.

Regards,
Jusni

Hi Jose. Wonderful sunny scene in this photo. Well composed with good natural framing for added depth. Excellent colours and sharpness also. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

vincz (19039) 2009-03-08 4:21

I've been there wehn I was very young. I like the tree branches in the foreground that give very much depth. A very good composition.

macondo (12935) 2009-03-08 4:42

Hola Jose.
Yes, very nice postcard, with the tree really making this one stand out from the crowd. The composition is excellent. I've heard of this place but not visited yet. It looks a busy and prosperous sort of town, but your shot shows some old towers in the foreground, and the curving horizon also adds interest. I wonder if the sea is beyond the hills. Nice exposure with the CPL.
Regards,
Andrew

Mais do que a costumeira competência técnica, aqui você mostra uma linda paisagem urbana, com forte contraste entre o antigo e o novo. Lindo esse pedaço da europa.

Hola José.
Una linda vista panorámica de Tossa de Mar captada desde un alto POV, muy buenos colores y gran definicion, los arboles en primer plano producen un marco natural muy lindo. Muy buena foto.
Abrazos mi querido amigo para ti y tu linda familia.

JCG (24783) 2009-03-10 12:30

Bonsoir José,

Magnifique panorama avec une lumière estivale très agréable. L'arbre du premier plan donne une bonne profondeur à l'image. J'aime beaucoup le contraste entre ce beau ciel bleu polarisé et la blancheur des façades des maisons composant cette petite ville où il doit être bien agréable de vivre. Jolie et intéressante carte postale, merci José.

Avec toutes mes amitiés et une très bonne soirée,

Jean-Charles

denisn72 (6867) 2009-03-11 13:15

Hello Jose
The tree makes a nice natural framing for that charming town. Great colours and light. Impressive details too. That place seems "postcardish" indeed. Awesome presentation!!!
Best regards
Denis!

parbo (10936) 2009-03-11 13:51

Olá Jose,

Authentic Portuguese architecture is attractive for me every time especially with their white facades and roof textures that created by terracotta roof tiles. Here you increase the beauty of view while adding green ridges under splendidly blue sky. Using part of pine tree's branches are good idea too.

Parabéns e Abraço!

Tue (25608) 2009-03-11 16:03

Hey José,
You found an excellent, high POV for this view over this charming town. You used the tree also really well in the foreground. The sunlight is great and brings out the colours really well and they are well saturated. Thanks for sharing!
Regards,
Lars

Kielia (8159) 2009-03-12 12:29

Hi Jose,
I really appreciate the way you are looking at this place. The composition is again wonderful with a very nice framing. Colors and light are excellent. From your POV this place looks quite idyllic indeed (but it is in reality a hot spot on mass tourism indeed!). TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet
