Photographer’s Note
Walking Through La Candelaria
...............................................
Again, I bring you a fresh image and standard of the famous district of La Candelaria in Bogota.
When walking through its streets, I feel that I absorbed the story, and I could not only from a sidewalk side, trying to capture that feeling, trying to combine various architectural schemes at various levels.

Hi John,
Interesting photograph giving a snapshot of life in this town.
I feel like I'm standing beside you looking down this interesting street.
You have captured the architecture and atmosphere perfectly, nice balance in your composition with the tree on the left and the clock tower on the right. The vertical frame adds to the image, looking at the photo info it seems you have cropped this from a much wider shot.
Impressive image.
Cheers
Peter

Hello John,
Wonderful street scene and architectures. I like the unhurried atmosphere here with the heavy clouds which probably contribute to the relax mood here. Nice soft colors & clarity. Regards. Latiff.

Hi,
Great perspective on this street shot. I particuarly like the contrast of the clouds overhead that give this photo a an extra quality, really brings the moment to the photo.

Hola fiera.
Mmmm...a mi gusto le falla algo. No sé el qué, (quizás el POV?) pero le falta un pelín de...algo. Y me da rabia porque no sé el qué es.
Un saludo!

Olá Jonh,
uma vista muito bonita essa da cidade, gostei do céu nublado e da presença do pombo também, embora eu não goste dessas aves, sujam muito o carro com merda... Mas ótimo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço

Olá John!
Once more you show us a very well preserved Bogotá! I really enjoy your well elaborated composition (with the inclusion of people, for example), the vertical format, the excellent sharpness (I can see many details of the buildings)! The cloudy sky worked perfectly in the scene!
TFS - Congratulations!
Saludos de Brasil,

Buenos días John,
¡Qué calidad de imagen! la claridad y los colores sobrios y naturales son estupefaciente. La vida crea una atmósfera muy agradable. El cielo nublado no perjudica de ningún modo a la autorización de la contemplación. Enhorabuena.
Pasa un buen día
Cordialmente

Hola John,
Una bonita calle con unas arquitecturas estupendas. Me gusta mucho la luz a pesar de esas nubes oscuras, y también la composición con las torres de la iglesia al fondo. Excelente dinamismo y detalles.
Un abrazo,

Hola John,
Me imagino que Bogota es una ciudad llena de contrastes. Parece una ciudad muy bella con mucha arquitectura antigua y una cultura singular. Aqui me gusta como creaste un angulo diagonal con la calle. Ademas la catedral en la distancia le da mas interes a la escena. Bonito trabajo John :-)

Hola John,
has captado en un buen encuadre todos los detalles de una magnífica arquitectura y de interesantes elementos urbanos, en una escena cotidiana, llena de vida y con buen dinamismo por toda esa gente paseando por la calle.
La perspectiva es muy elegante, y la luminosidad de la imagen en un día gris es muy buena.
Buena realización, amigo mío.
Un abrazo,
Josep

I liked this daytime image especially the far across right corner that church , the sky and the beautiful white houses on the street make a fine concept.

Perfecto John: Lograste reunir en una sola foto una multiplicidad de elementos que describen las atmosfera típica de la candelaria: el arbol, el reloj, la bandera, la gente, la catedral, la casa de la moneda, la calle 11, la buhardilla, el cielo plomizo bogotano y hasta una despistada paloma de la Plaza de Bolivar que en primer plano te hizo el favor de posar para que el cuadro fuese sin par. Felicitaciones
