[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
To see the people outside
It isn't enough to open the window.
To see the trees and the flowers
It isn't enough not to be blind.
It is also necessary to have no philosophy.
With philosophy there are no trees, just ideas.
There is only each one of us, like a cave.
There is only a shut window, and the whole world outside,
And a dream of what could be seen if the window were opened,
Which is never what is seen when the window is opened.

From: Poesia

note: several pp adjustments were made such as levels, curves, noise reduction, filters. 5 images were merged using tone mapping.

I hope you like both (picture & poem)!

Hi Carlos,

Another great utilization of HDR! Your composition is spot on and importantly the atmosphere is great, I feel like I am sitting in the room.

Cheers Jamie.

Ola Carlos ficou fantastica esta tua foto , gostei muito das cores escuras , bom ponto de vista,gostei do poema.
Parabens!!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Hola Carlos.
Una fotografia muy interesante. Me gusta mucho como has enmarcado la escena en la ventana, y esta en las cortinas, ese triple reenmarque le dfa una gran perspectiva y profundidad a la escena. La exposición es muy correcta para el motivo principal, sin olvidar tampoco los detalles en la zona interior de la casa. Bien hecho. Felicidades por este excelente trabajo y un saludo desde España.
Angel.

Hi Carlos,
Very interesting shot. Nice sky and beautiful view of the city. The semi-opened curtains creates an intimate atmosphere and a wish to discover more outside... :)
Best regards,
Andre

splendid! intense picture, great colors. it really came out very well.

Olá Carlos!
O poema de Fernando Pessoa se encaixou bem em sua foto, parece que estamos em uma prisão!
Boas luminosidade e nitidez na imagem!
Parabéns e Abraço!

I think this is an excellent shot, really dark and moody and the half drawn curtains give the image quite a claustrophobic feel.
There's a strange dark green light throughout the image, which adds to the atmosphere, and you took it a good time to capture the morning (or was it evening?) light in the sky.
Good work Carlos.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Carlos,
I like the dark, gloomy colours representing the cruel, indifferent modern city life. The flat is like some kind of protection from the cold outside world, but it also seems lonely and sad. I don't know whether you mean the same things here as my interpretation. Well done.

Carlos,
The way you caught a so beautiful picture in a (I assume) banal environment is an outstanding job.
Exposure and colors are so nice.
Great one,
Regards,
JB.

Carlos, gostei da idéia de fotografar da janela, mas mostrando as cortinas, já vi várias fotos no estilo, mas o máximo mostrando apenas parte da janela. Conseguiu um belo jogo de luz, sen haver superexposição ou subexposição, o que costuma ocorrer nesse tipo de foto.

Que céu lindo, rico em cores e ótima nitidez. Ainda não consegui brincar com HDR, acho que estou sem atenção em algum ponto...

Abraço
Andre

Hi Carlos wonderful urban view with splendid light and colors, well done, ciao Silvio

Oi Carlos,

Muitissimo bem executada. E impressionante a riquesa de detalhes do lado de fora da janela. As cores do ceu e da cortina adicionam uma atmosfera acolhedora, intimista, mas um tanto solitaria, ate meio tristonha. O enquadramento na vertical e original, minha tendencia teria sido pela vertical, mas o formato horizontal me parece adicionar este aspecto mais intimista. O POV e otimo, tenho a sensacao de ser eu por detras desta janela, dentro deste quarto a meia luz a olhar o entardecer... A poesia vai muitissimo bem com o tom, da foto, alem de se de Pessoa!

Abracos,

Flavia

Hi Carlos ! what a lovely view to the town!! It is like a theater.
I like also colors you used so well in this perfect composition.
Nice work!!

Carlos,
O efeito finsal ficou excelente, com a parede a emoldurar a paisagem. Linda foto.

Paulo

Carlos, esta imagem esta simplesmente sensacional! E logico que vc teve que fazer bastante trabalho PP nesta aqui. Nao ha maquina fotografica no mundo e fotografo capaz de tirar uma imagem desta sem trabalho addicional. Nao vejo problema nenhum nisto. Os grandes nomes em fotografia fazem isto tb. O importante e ter uma boa composicao com grande potencial nas condicoes de luz e depois muito trabalho. Tai um excelente exemplo para tal.

Hi, very nice, good composition and technicaly precise. Good one!

Hi,Carlos!
I like this urban composition with window and nice atmosphere!
Regards!
Yuri

Excellent work Carlos,

You've combined these 5 photo's really nice, good tone mapping. It's a nice moody photo, the darkness and symmetry on the sides of the window is good, I like that the curtains still receive some light, thereby we can see some colour and details in them. The night?scene through the window is also nice, good colours, sharpness and exposure. Well done.

Celle-ci aussi est vraiment belle et vous avez bien fait d'y inclure ces rideaux verts qui donne beaucoup d'élégance à votre photo... Ici aussi je trouve que l'on a l'impression de faire éruption au cours d'un roman.... Félicitations...

Good work Carlos where you maintain fine details from the inside as from the outside. I like the setting with the curtains closing in very well the view to the outside buildings. Good work - incl. pp

Hi Carlos,

beautiful composition, I like colours and perspective. Nice view from the window.

Hello Carlos,
Fine post-processing job. The view through the window is captivating, and I like the fact there's much detail and color on the curtains. The poem is a perfect match for the image. Regards,
Hakan

Beautiful composition for this urban modern view throught the window.
Best regards. Grazyna.

Hi Carlos - interesting experiment, the 5 different exposures helped maintain the light balance throughout the frame, not pretty, but artistic.

Carlos,
Sounds from your note as if you went through a fairly complicated procedure to produce this image. The result is seamless and spectacular though! Beautiful colour tones and detail shine through this apparently simple and well balanced study.
Great.
Regards
Colin

Ola Carlos.
The window is very good placed in the image.
This lightness is the best for this one composition.
All the image is superb framed and the view is sooo nice and clear!
The lines of the window give more nice effect here.
TFS

Hola Carlos,
Esta tu ventana verdaderamente invita a mirar hacia afuera (janela suena mucho mas bonito que ventana y que window, pero no hay mucho que yo pueda hacer al respecto, el portugués es en general más lindo que el castellano); la foto es muy linda y poética. En cuanto al poema, Pessoa (y sus heterónimos) es una maravilla, y este es perfecto para tu foto.
Saludos muy cordiales,

Daniel

Hi Carlos
I like this one.
The view is nice and give us a feeling of freedom. The light is beautifull.
Excellent
Bertrand

Olá, Carlos
Excelente composição, marcada pelos contrastes do emolduramento. Escolha ótima deste POV. Grande captura. Um abraço, Consuelo

Yes Carlos, I like them both!
from a very interesting idea you managed to create a beautiful pic, well taken and composed. I like the merged of the 5 pics which allowed you to deliver great details both in the highlights and shadow and a very well balanced exposure (btw did you use PS to merge the 5 pics?); I also like the colours, soft and warm...
very well done!!
Thanks for sharing this!

Igor

Me gusta esta foto con una concepción y resultados muy cinematográficos. El color es maravilloso.
Enhorabuena.
