Sculpture of shy girl in old Tossa Photo

Photographer’s Note

I was surprised to find this bronze sculpture in one of the old alleys of the walled part of Tossa de Mar. It's amazing how quick we can jump from the crowded beach typical of mass tourism to these peaceful shady alleys where we can have the illusion that life hasn't changed much in the last 2 or 3 hundred years.

• WS#1: A tiny square very close to this one.

• WS#2: A little shrine inlaid in a wall.

Olá José,
Interessante esta escultura a representar a timidez. E o fato de teres deixado a menina na sombra contribuiu para tornar a imagem compatível com a apresentação do tema - ela está escondida, embora no primeiro plano.
A senhora ao fundo, a cuidar das flores, ficou muito simpática. A luminosidade aqui também é estupenda.
Parabéns!
Docarmo

Ho Jose. Great photo, wonderful colours and well composed. The lady in the BG is a good addition for the human touch. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Have a good week, Paul.

Dag Jose,

There is a lovely contrast in the picture with the statue of the girl and the woman on the balcony at the background. It completes the balanced composition.

José,
Uma beleza de composição aqui, amigo, em que penso que o f/stop em 8 ajudou na boa profundidade de campo. Lindo trabalho.

Abraço

Olá José,
Gosto muito destas luzes e sombras; é pena a estátua não estar focada e a senhora lá atrás não se ver melhor. Mas no geral gosto do ambiente da foto. Os WS são bons complementos neste conjunto menos turístico de Tossa de Mar.
Cumprimentos,
Francisco

Olá José,

Gostei da composição com a escultura da garora tímida na sombra, mas integrada aos quintais da vizinhança. Belas cores, luminosidade e excelente nitidez (como sempre).

Abraços
Leonor

Jose, you found a treasure here, and photographed it superbly. The light just catches it in two places, quite enough so that the colour of the bronze has full value and contrasts with the warm brightly lit stone.
Thanks,
Winifred

Olá Jose,

Sobre todo la perspectiva, con la figura de la niña de lado es muy buena me gusta, ademas el juego de luces y sombras es optimo, los colores como también nos enseñas los habitantes del lugar, es una excelente captura!

Un saludo,
Elena

Hello Jose,

Picturesque scene, and I find the pose of the girl quite charming... is she just shy or ashamed of something she did?
Good depth in the composition, fine details in the scene...
Attractive colour palette with basically green brown and blue!

Greetings,

Ola Jose,
The three photos give a nice sense of life in this charming village, that HAS gone on for hundreds of years. All three photos have excellent sharpness and light management while the shy girl makes for the most interesting framing.
