Photographer’s Note

'Depois dos dias todos de chuva, de novo o ceu traz o azul, que escondera, aos grandes espacos do alto. Entre as ruas, onde as pocas dormem como charcos do campo, e a alegria clara que esfria no alto, ha um contraste que torna agradaveis as ruas sujas e primaveril o ceu de inverno banal. E domingo e nao tenho o que fazer. Nem sonhar me apetece, de tao bem que esta o dia. Gozo-o com uma sinceridade de sentidos a que a inteligencia se abandona. Passeio como um caixeiro liberto..." (Livro do Desassossego - Fernando Pessoa)

These lines from Pessoa describe preciselly the feeling I had that cold beautifull winter day. Many times I went alone to this place to spend the time enjoying the good weather, the old houses, the nice people and the river beaute. Lonelly days when photography was my great companion.

Sorry about the dust, I just saw after had processed the picture, my old computer screen was very bad to see these details.

hello Flavia
the composition has a great depth, excellent framing, interesting light too, good photojob :)
just a point, some more contrast is lacking, even if it's OK like this, the result with more contrast can have a great impact

Olá Flavia,

bela perspectiva. As pegadas realmente nos passa uma idéia bem legal como 'seguir o nosso caminho' ou 'correr atrás das coisas'. A postagem é completada com o belo texto de Fernando Pessoa. Parabéns!
Abraço,
Carlos

Hi, friend!
It is very nice and interesting view. I like your oryginal composition. I like your white snow. Only I dont like red STOP. But view is very nice.

Beautiful winters scene Flavia. The POV is well chosen, and I especially like the little shadows in the snow. Excellent, Roberto

A typical winter landscape. I have always thought that pictures of landscapes, are due to perform in landscape format, but its exceptions. Especially when you want to emphasize the deep blue sky, as in this your photo.

The management of whites, has been very appropriate, the management of the light as well. Good frame and meaningful perspective.

Flavia,
Está com uma composição muito bonita, com esas pegadas dando idéia de presença humana mas sem mostrar qualquer pessoa. O aspescto técnico, como cores e ajustes de iluminação, também estão muito bons. Linda mesmo.

Abraço

Bonsoir Flavia
Merveilleuse compo conjuguant profondeur, netteté et superbes couleurs. Ça fait apprécier l'hiver que de marcher dans un tel décor.

Não sei do que gosto mais se da foto ou do Pessoa. Claro que não tem comparação mas a foto está lindíssima. Só é pena é aquele sinal de costas do lado esquerdo. O STOP fica ali muito bem a dar um ponto colorido extra.
E aonde é que estão as fotos de Singapura?

hi Flavia

Nice to see that now you have changed to Canada!

The snow and winter is such a different way of life. Which part of Canada is this?

Well composed view with such lovely sky color.

TFS, bill

Hi Flavia
I want to thank you for comparing my last picture to Ansel Adams, a great honor you are doing me.
Looking at this picture. I am sure you will have like to walk here in this winter, as the snow is aboundant.
Good exposition with a play of light and shadows on the snow that makes this good composition fun to look at.

Have a good day and also good dream of winter,
Charles

Hi Flavia,
This wide angle vertical shot shows eyes a nice path to follow. It is winter weather as good as it gets. Looks like a place I like to hang around too, right on the river's edge.
