Hi Jose,
excellent framing and Pov. I like the contrast between the old arch and the beach with the modern architecture. Tfs !
Best regards

Espectacular Tossa, un placer recorrer la Vila Vella, tan mediterránea... un plan perfecto, tres días en Tossa antes del GP de F1 de Montmeló.

Hi Jose, quite unusual but also a well-chosen framing for such a scene. I see an excellent harmony between the silent walls of the history and the natural environment of the Mediterranean at the background. The larger version is much more beautiful I think. Best regards Jose. Tolga

Hello Jose,
It's only when the larger version is selected that one realises how much detail is lost in the small TE frame size.
A nice shot, the classic frame in a frame works well here because there is so much wonderful detail in the archway itself. Lovely view onto the beach and hillside houses.
I miss my time on the beaches of Catalonia, it is good to be taken back there in your capture.
Regards
Peter

Olá José,
Ficou lindo este formato, muito original! A versão grande é ótima para a gente "devassar" melhor a turma da praia :-)
Esta aí parece a porta estreita do paraíso ;-)
Obrigada por partilhar,

Hi Jose. Great photo. I love the natural framing and the view through the trees look. Good colours and detail, thanks for the large view. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Have a good weekend, Paul.

Hello Jose,

Nice framing of the view to the town!
I'm impressed by the sharp details both far and near, seems like f/8 covers it all...
Great colour reproduction, and a fine feeling of depth!

Greetings,

hi Jose

Not very often we get to see LV in vertical format and through a gothic arch gate to see the beach view. I am impressed with the exposure of the FG arch walls with sharp detail while at the same time you have your view of the beach also trained. Very good timed shot with the most suited direction of light. Good work.

tfs, bill

Hello Jose,
lovely view through the arch right up to the crowded beach. Good choice of vertical format and framing. It looks even better in the large version. Very well done.
Best wishes,
Helmut

Hello Jose,
what fantastic view through the arch, you had a great idea, the POV is magnificent and the effect is really outstanding. Well done dear friend.
Have a great week
Giorgio

Hola José.
Excelente vista a través del viejo arco, el formato vertical es muy importante aquí y a través de la versión grande podemos disfrutar de los detalles de la playa y el precioso mar, esta muy bien captado y me gusta mucho tu composición. Felicitaciones.
Un fuerte abrazo y muchos cariños a tu esposa y tu hijo.

Ola Jose
Le cadrage est original et met bien en valeur cette arche gothique qui encadre naturellement ce morceau de plage et ses touristes. Une bonne gestion des différences de luminosité entre le 1er plan et le fond et nettete appréciable.
Amitiés
Marilyn

Bonsoir José,

Un format de version large vraiment intéressant pour ce genre d'architecture mais qui pourrait aussi être intéressant pour les vitraux par exemple... Va falloir que je me penche sur le sujet. En tous les cas une belle ouverture sur cette plage qui semble bien fréquentée. Une photo à la lumière estivale bien agréable. Merci José.

Avec mes amitiés et à bientôt,

Jean-Charles

José,
Aqui interessante é o contraste entre o moderna nas barracas de praia repletas de mocinhas em tanguinha e essa antiga arquitetura emoldurando. Lindo trabalho, amigo.

Abraço

Salut Jose!
Prise de vue originale de cette plage envahie par les baigneurs! Ce genre de vue n'est pas très pittoresque en général, mais ici ta composition vue à travers cette belle arche de pierres donne un bel effet!
Un avant-goût de l'été! Personnellement, je préférerais des plages moins bondées, et comme toi, je resterais près de cette arche pour admirer la vue!
Merci du partage!
Marie- Louise.

Felip (3905) 2009-06-03 4:24

Olà José,
Intuyo que la fotografía original dejaría ver mas de éste muro, pero con el recorte que le has hecho, te ha quedado una composición esplendida que engloba todo...la historia, la naturaleza, la montaña, ese mar mediterráneo, la explotación urbanística...y la gente tostándose al sol en la playa!
Que buena!.

Saludos

Felip

Jose, perfectly framed shot with the arch while the trees add to the excellent DOF. Color saturation is perfect. Good composition and execution.

Best regards
Urs

Olá José,
Um trabalho muito bem feito, mas o resultado final não é completamente do meu agrado, falta algo (hoje estou muito exigente). Talbez preferisse ver um pouco mais para os lados. Ou também que as árvores não tapassem tanto a paisagem.
Cumprimentos,
Francisco
