Bonsoir Roger
les façades blanches permettent de donner un graphisme minimaliste à l'image. C'est très agréable. Très bon choix de cadrage.

Salut Roger,

The white facades are wonderful especially splendid effect of arched entrance of alley and its curved corner. Flowers, narrow balconies are great additions too with their ferro barriers. Congratulations. Have a nice weekend.

Amitiés,

Boy, I just never get tired of following the light through such narrow streets with their overhanging foliage and dark passageways. You've framed this wonderfully and made it wide enough to invite me right in. Wonderful color, light, and shadows. Thank you. Judy

Ciao caro Roger,
molto bella questa vista così mediterranea.
Semplice e pura, arricchita dai bei contrasti tra il colore dei fiori e delle piante e le facciate bianche.
Eccellente e dolcissimo lavoro.
Buon week end.

Tu es comme un oiseau Roger. Chaque moment dans un autre pays et partout tu semes les bonnes idees de temoignages. J'aime bien ce coin de Catalogne et te suis reconnaissant de tes partages genereux.

Amicalement a toi,

Branko

Bonsoir Roger,

La courbe de la rue est un atout à la composition. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs de cette partie des maisons. Il y a un bon contraste entre la porte verte et les murs blancs. Les fleurs et les branches cadrent bien la rue. Bonne soirée.

Hello Roger,
Excellent composition, I like your POV, the shining white color, and the contrast. Your photo reminds me our Cyclades Islands a lot.
Have a nice weekend, Vasilis.

npecanhuk (14718) 2009-05-23 3:12

Hi Roger!
I really enjoyed how you worked with the dominating white on the buildings and created a spectacular contrast with the other colorful elements: green plants and door, red flowers, grey street pavement...
The result is a very attractive and truly beautiful photograph that pleases me all the way!
TFS - congratulations!
Have a great week-end!

Bonjour Roger,
Tu montres parfaitement le charme inouï de ce village préservé grâce en partie à Salvador Dali. L’association de blanc, du bougainvillier et de la verdure est très harmonieuse et le cadrage parfait avec cette voûte encadrée par la géométrie rectiligne des balcons.
Bon WE!
Diane

buscape (4026) 2009-05-23 4:19

Hello Roger,
nice view to the white facades with good play of lights and shades. You have managed the difficult light conditions well and I especially like the color contrasts of red flowers, green door/plants with the dominating white facades. Good use of vertical format. Well seen and done.
Best wishes,
Helmut

amaryllis (17826) 2009-05-23 5:31

Hello,

Fantastique ruelle, blanche avec la lampe, la belle végétation, quel cadrage, le beua pavage, le balcon, une image qui sent bien le sud, la chaleur, merci.

Bravo et amitié

Nicou

jmdias (19899) 2009-05-23 7:58

roger

a very interesting image. I liked the light mood, full of indirect light that make the whire walls more beautiful yet, the flowers and lamp are little and beautiful details, nice dialogue between the green door and the green leaves in the other side

hugs

jorge

jafadabret (40325) 2009-05-23 8:37

Bonjour Roger.
Le blanc des façades fait penser à celui de la feuille de dessin. Les éléments comme la porte, la lanterne et les fleurs prennent ainsi une grande importance.
J'aime beaucoup !
Amicalement
Jacques

Charo (31811) 2009-05-23 8:54

Salut Roger,
Randonnée pédestre autour des rues étroites de Cadaqués est un délice. Superbe capture avec grand contraste entre le blanc des murs et des branches et des fleurs qui ornent les balcons.
Bien vu.
Amitiés,

paololg (14241) 2009-05-24 3:34

Ciao caro Roger,
mi sarebbe piaciuto vedere le info della foto, perchè questa è una foto molto difficile da fare con questo superbo risultato. Solo i bravi fotografi possono permettersi di giocare con il bianco come hai fatto tu, gestendo la sovraesposizione come un pregio e non un difetto. Hai dimostrato, ancora una volta, tutta la tua bravura. Complimenti!
Ciao, buona domenica e felice settimana!
Paolo

Philippe (11787) 2009-05-24 9:19

Bonjour, Roger. Beaucoup de blanc dans cette image. Cela signifie une exposition difficile que tu as bien maîtrisée. La verdure, les fleurs roses,les balcons et la rue pavée apportent un bon contraste dans l'image. Une ruelle qui a l'air bien agréable à explorer.
Bonne soirée,
Philippe

shevchenko (10072) 2009-05-24 20:46

Hi Roger,
I can not find the border between wall, balcony or sky, blank but abstract on the upper middle part, thanks for sharing a silent whitish corner.

jaywalker (12308) 2009-05-25 10:27

Hi Roger, A lovely back street shot with a striking white surround, the black railings & the lamp blend in beautifully, however it's the green door that offers a wonderful focal point, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

ilDottore (4004) 2009-05-25 10:50

Hi Roger,
Simple, but very charming.
I like the simplicity of your composition and strong colouristic contrasts.
Perfect!

La blancheur de l'Espagne pigmentée de quelques touches colorées. Une bien jolie photo.

Happy Day Roger!

It's been so beautiful outside lately I haven't wanted to sit at the computer. I'm catching up on TE and discovered this artistic shot of yours.

The dark green, black and hot pink against the brilliant white offer a striking contrast, and your POV into the cobbled alley invites us into the scene.

On the one hand, I really like how the top left of the frame is sort of a white nothingness, and we can't tell precisely what we're seeing. On the other hand it's hard to look at because it is so very bright. I'm not sure how to deal with that when shooting on a very bright day, because it really does look like that.... I imagine it's a pretty subjective topic.

Beautiful composition and framing. I love the sliver of light streaming into the alley.

Warm Regards, Roger, and thanks for this charming photo!

Rachel

Pascale (10188) 2009-05-26 6:57

Bonjour Roger
En voyant ta photo tu me confortes dans mon idée d'aller faire un petit tour là bas cet été!
J'aime beaucoup le format ,le cadrage avec les 2 balcons dont les lignes soulignent la courbure de la porte .juste ce qu'il faut de couleurs pour faire ressortir la blancheur des murs .Une photo pleine de chaleur ,de gaieté et qui fait rêver aux vacances .Superbe
Amitiés
pascale

adramad (4000) 2009-05-28 9:28

Salut Roger.
Un joli contraste, la blancheur des édifices avec la couleur des plantes. Tu as obtenu un bon équilibre des lumières tout à fait facile d'obtenir. Le POV est très bon.
Des saluts.
Luis.

argycon (2749) 2009-05-28 23:44
