PS: These last days I feel like posting daily. Maybe I should be more selective, but I have never been good on deciding which are my best or worthiest photos, so I feel can't really opt for quality over quantity like so many of our fellows do. I often restrain myself from posting so often because I can't catch up with the critiques received. Please don't feel obliged to critique or comment all of my posts and forgive me if I can't retribute some of your critiques.

Olá José,

Wonderful capture of small scaled house with its splendid stone facade. Small windows, entrance, ferro barriers and street lamp are just creates so tranquilized view. I liked also your complementary posts especially "#1: Another POV of the same house" is very creative one with its amazing effect of wide angle. The clarity and sharpness are impressive as usual. Take care.

Parabéns e Abraço!

Hello Jose,
Creative idea to include the wire and it shading on the wall, although many of TE members do not like it, but I'm not really mind. Nice facade and stone walls, good pov and tidy to show it in good distortion, well done.

Olá José,

Muito bonito, adoro estas aldeias,(em Portugal a aldeia Janeiro de Cima é um exemplo com as casas feitas em xisto).TFS, o 2º Ws está muito bom. A luz estava bastante forte, mas os detalhes ficaram bons.
Um abraço,
Filipe

hi Jose

I would think the stone walls make up a great feature for this house. You really know what is the best time and light condition to show the walls with good texture and soft color tone.

Although it looks like a small house, I would be happy to see the inside and stay for 1-2 nights.

Good work and yes, it has not escaped my notice that there is no optical distortion from your Zuiko lens.

Great work.

tfs, bill

Olá José,
Não sei qual prefiro, esta ou o WS#1. O "problema" é que esta aqui dá a impressão que a casa é só fachada, ou seja algo bidimensional.
Cumprimentos,
Francisco

Bonsoir José,

Un très beau cadrage pour cette façade en pierres très caractéristique du genre de maisons que l'on découvre en Catalogne. La lumière est très belle et même les fils électriques et surtout leur ombre donnent un bel effet graphique.
Amitiés,
Roger

Hola Jose:

A pesar de lo sencilla que resulte ser la fachada en la arquitectura de este castillo, es rica en múltiples detalles que la acompañan.

Las texturas de piedra, captadas con nitidez, y el equilibrado encuadre, determinan una bella imagen, llena de profesionalismo.

El adecuado manejo de la iluminación, establece unas bellas tonalidades. Excelente.

Saludo especial desde Colombia, John

Oi José,
Além de tudo que já falaram (as texturas estão impecáveis!), sabe que gosto desta fiação e sua sombra, a desenharem diagonais - ficou diferente, deu personalidade.
O reflexo na janela, no WS#2 está estupendo!!!
Parabéns!
Docarmo

Olá José,
el encuadre es bueno, la casa queda totalmente incluida en él, y podemos apreciar las texturas de la piedra bajo una fuerte luz, bien controlada.
La farola, el cable y sus sombra sobre la fachada añaden más interés y belleza a la foto.
Los dos WS son magníficos, y podías haberlos presentado también como foto principal.
Bello trabajo, amigo mío.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hello Jose,

This is an interesting subject, and the depiction is well done with fine details in the special architecture!
The framing is well done and the old fashioned street lamp is an eye-catcher...
The cable shadow is kind of disturbance but we all have to live with that in scenes like this, and it is better than removing a part of reality by cloning!

Greetings,

Ola Jose,

Belissima! Linda esta casinha de pedra. Gostei muito do enquadramento e da luz. O ceu azul e um otimo contraste com os tons das pedras. A sombra do fio cruzando a composicao e uma otima adicao.

Abracos,

Flavia
