an old and romanasque bridge Photo

Photographer’s Note

In the last days you has seen how Òscar is speaking about me in his photos. And like Òscar was also here, in this kind of TE meeting, let me explain something about him.
In his last photos is easy see how he has been in Sevilla.
And... why Sevilla?
Until now you could not see any picture of Òscar travelling in Spain. And is not casual. He only had a reason for go to Sevilla.

Once more time he didn’t pay the rent of his room (this story is in this photo), and tired of how the landlord beated up him, he remembered that he has a son in Sevilla. He has 8 years old and Òscar left him and his mother before he was born.
Once time at the year Òscar asks him for money. His son, Asdrúbal, works cleaning shoes in the streets of Sevilla and with the money that he gets everyday, his mother, his two stepsbrothers, a cousin and himself must survive. Nowadays, only Asdúbal works of all of them.

Òscar went to Sevilla. Went to their house. Took the money.
And once time he had the money he asked for the money because no one knew that he had it yet.

That’s the story (somethings in this story are real).

And about the photo:
A romanesque bridge very near of Sant Quirze de Pedret, an small but nice romanesque church in the province of Barcelona.

You can complete the story with the other two photos (I & II).

Very nice color and saturation. I like the clarity & detail of the hand rail that leads the eye to the bridge and people. Latiff.

Hi, Carlos
Excellent eye lead You`ve created, taking us directly to the couple. I like the way You`ve emphasized the bridge by the darker colors allowing it to take all place it deserved. Great!
Regards
Inna

Con un poco más de luz se hubiera cocinado una foto que se sale... no se puede tener todo (ni sería bueno)

Hallo Carlos!
A wonderful bridge and you show it in a wonderful autumnal atmosphere. The point of view leads the eyes to the top of the arch, where some people give a good scale of the dimension of this venerable building. I think, this is high quality work...!
Greetings from Germany and have a happy Christmas!

Well composed shot of the bridge, so we can see the strange cobbles as well as the arch. The path leads our eye to your friends and to the autumn trees. Well done

Carlos,

Buena POV de la puente y la capilla. Me gusta los colores de las piedras de la peunte y la claridad.

Saludos,
Rob.
P.S. Que lastima esta cuenta de Oscar. Pobrecito;-)

An excellent diagonal point of view for this beautifull old bridge. Sharness is perfect, the marks of the tree trunk are perfectly visible. There is also an very good contrast between the light grey of the road and the darker sides of the bridge. A very impressive result.

All the best,

Emmanuel

Hola rata.

Desde luego, inventando y difamando eres el amo. Que se sepa la verdad de todo: no tengo ni un hijo y estoy al pago con mi casero. Yo no tengo, a diferencia de otros, que huir de la justicia por ser un estafador y mal abogado. Te encontraré estés donde estés.

Sobre la foto, me gusta mucho la indefinición sobre las personas así como la luz.

Aleeeeeeeeeeeee

Hola Carlos,
Gourgeous perspective of this old and romanasque bridge. Excellent POV, very good details and colours. Nice the people on the bridge.
Thanks and greetings,
Aires

Pues hola otra vez Carlos...
Ayer ya había visto tu foto pero no me quedaban puntos y preferí esperarme a hoy.
Sin duda son dos los puntos fuertes de esta foto: el punto de vista que hace que la imegen tenga una perspectiva muy buena y el munumento en si que parece precioso.
Como ingeniero de caminos soy un gran admirador de estos puentes precursores de mi profesión y que aún tienen mucho que enseñarnos.
Un saludo: javi

Hola carlos

I like the sweeping curve of the handrail at right continuing on across the bridge & providing superb depth. Excellent sharpness, colour & moody subdued lighting. Bravo & Merry Xmas!

Hola Carlos

Donde esta la nota de castellano??? Pero bueno ya lo he entendido. La historia es sorprendente aunque ya conocía este hecho.

La foto muy me gusta aunque el pov no es de mi devoción. Por lo demás me gusta todo. No pense que con la luz que teniamos conseguirias este resultado.
Saludos
PS: Ya hablaremos

Hi Carlos,
An original and unique POV for this shot, which really catches the bridge with its ancient appearance and interesting shape. The autumn colours linger and the people on the bridge warm the scene. A humorous note. Well captured...later.

Hola Carlos,
bona perspectiva d'aquest magnífic pont romànic, en un enquadrament i un angle que augmenten l'efecte visual de la seva corbatura vertical que provoca l'arc central. Has vist bé el grafisme aquí. La barana de fusta en primer plà, la gent dalt del pont, i els arbres amb els colors de tardor al fons, afegeixen bons elements a la composició.
Bona foto.
Salut,
Josep

Hi Carlos. Wow this one is great. Its might be a bit dark but I can still see everything just fine. The people serve as a useful focal point and the area behind them is enhanced by the good fall color. Merry Christmas Carlos.

Hola Carlos:
Me gusta la foto, el puente es realmente bonito, y los colores de las hojas le quitan la monotonia de piedra.
pregunta al experto ¿si hubieses abierto más el plano y en la foto se viese cielo azul no quedaria mejor a nivel compositivo?
un saludo
