Cathedral’s Fountain Photo

Photographer’s Note

There's something very welcoming about Cochabamba: The quiet plazas invite you to linger, the year-round spring like climate, mild-dry during the winter and mild-humid during the summer with an average temperature of 18ºC, encourages you to stroll along the quaint streets, and the locals are friendly.

Seeing the architectonic side of the city, it has a big Spanish influence in the architecture, but it also has an important influence of the republican age. Today this city conserves its colonial characteristics.

I found this nice pedestrian street, just behind the 17th century cathedral. And it even got this cute fountain. And I got in love with this place. Perfect to seat, relax and take a shot.

It's amazing. It's like you captured every drop of water. Nice composition.

Hola gabriel.

Me gusta mucho esta fotografía. El agua, muy bien capturada delante de la iglesia llena de definción, es una gran idea.

Felicidades!!!

Saludos y buen fin de semana, Oscar

A very refreshing scene to watch. The water is freeze framed very well here and conveys the summer weather very well indeed. Great shot and have a great weekend.

Olá Gabriel,

i like the composition very much, and 'freezing' the water did help a lot in giving the photo a very attractive feeling!

Colors, contrast, sharpness and POV are great.

Best regards, un abrazo,
Carlos

Hi Gabriel, I enjoy this well designed shot. It is fun to see through the fountain water. Good frozen the moment shot while all the water drops can be seen clearly in this picture. A well taken picture with impressive sharpness.

Olá Gabriel,
Não tenho estado tão activo em posts e criticas por outros afazeres da minha vida, mas esta não poderia ser ultrapassada como outra posterior que em breve complementarei.

O SEU ANGULO E PERSPECTIVA ESTÃO EXCELENTES. Um enquadramento excelente com o este belo edificio em "wallpaper view at near background" com uma definição excelente da agua em movimento do pequeno fontenário local e que funciona bem como o seu grande talento.

Possivelmente uma das grandes fotos e capturas de alta qualidade que nos presenteia. Não digo que vá ter muitas criticas mas sobre tecnica e composição só tenho a dizer o que sinto.

Um abraço e um grande 2006 com um bom fim de semana para já.
Fernando

Bonsoir Gabriel,
Les mouvements de son coeur se ralentirent un à un, plus vagues chaque fois, plus doux, comme une fontaine s'épuise, comme un écho disparaît.
[Gustave Flaubert]
J'aime la fontaine qui fait jaillir cette eau se transformant en une pluie semblable à des diamants étincelants à la lumière du soleil.
J'aime également la présence d'un personnage à travers la fontaine.
Très belle réalisation.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Ola Gabriel,
j'aime cette fontaine ou l'on entend le bruit de l'eau qui coule et c'est bien agréable, devant ce joli mur de la cathédrale, jolie compo. Parabens.
Bon Week End

Hi gabriel,
Nice scene. Well chosen scene. The little friend with the red jacket is a perfect detail in this picture.

I love the effect the fast shutter has had on the water, freezing it to provide a tranparent curtain to observe the architecture through. well spoytted.

Te digo lo mismo que de la otra foto, abriendo más el plano podría quedar una composición más interesante.
Igualmente, si bien no creo que sea la mejor composición posible: funciona bien en la foto.

Un saludo.

Hello Gabriel,
You made every single waterdrop of the fountain visible.Very nice catch of the mood also,the women in red behind the fountain is a good detail in your compo.
Greetings,
Hermann

Me gusta mucho el movimiento del agua con las gotas bien definidas. La pared de piedra le da un buen contraste. Muy bien captada. Buena composicion.
Felicitaciones Gabriel. TFS.
