Hola Carlos.

Gran gran gran foto. Adoro los reflejos que has captado en tu foto. Sencillamente un gran trabajo y además muy creativo.

Carlos.

Olá Carlos,

Que maravilha, como alguém pode fazer um trabalho tão bonito em um reflexo numa poça d'água? Me encanta ver os paralelepípedos ao fundo, como um imenso puzzle. A igreja está aí, tão bonita e tão verdadeira, o que importa mesmo é a emoção que a imagem transmite. Ela é encantadora e com certeza o meu dia vai ficar melhor pois a beleza faz muito bem para a alma.

Abraços, amigo e tenha um ótimo final de semana
Leonor

ciao carlos,
in un periodo di riflessi su TE il tuo va a collocarsi tra i più belli e meglioe seguiti per la lucentezza e i colori.
Mi piace il selciato che si intravede e il taglio particolare.
un abbraccio
maurizio

Oi, Carlos
Está ótima a sua captura. Adorei a creatividade aplicada nesta imagem formada a partir dos reflexos no calçamento da rua. As cores e contrastes estão ótimos. Excelente trabalho. Abraço, Consuelo

Olá Carlos!
O reflexo da basílica ficou óptimo, até o azul do céu ficou reflectido. Gosto do efeito das pequenas folhas.

wgreis (6008) 2009-10-31 14:26

Carlos,
confesso que demorei em interpretar a foto. Achei que fosse editada com algum filtro.
Entretanto, quando vi tratar-se de um reflexo, fiquei surpreso. Que espetáculo!
Linda mostra e obrigado por compartilhar.
Grande abraço,
Wagner.

Dashab (893) 2009-10-31 14:27

Hello Carlos,
This is a well-spotted and executed reflection. The colours are very strong and the sharpnes of the reflection is amazing. And your note is very nice, too. TFS and have a nice evening, Dasha

siamesa (12788) 2009-10-31 15:16

Oi Carlos

Como o Wagner, demorei para perceber que era reflexo. Um trabalho artístico e super inteligente. Beleza pura! Vou escolher a segunda opção da múltipla escolha pelo simbolismo da imagem. Parabéns.
Abraços

s_lush (2100) 2009-10-31 23:13

Hello Carlos,
It was a very clever idea to capture this beautiful reflection, where not only the old architecture but also the nice patterns of the pavement are seen. Fully artistic job!
Best regards,
Sergiy

pablominto (40552) 2009-10-31 23:28

Hello Carlos,

Yeah, this is well done!
Amazing how the little puddle reflects almost all of the church with such quality, it is hard to see what is fiction and what is real...
Well seen and very well performed!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Carlos.
Nice capture, good handling of light and focus. Well seen and well captured. Nice work and thanks for sharing.
Have a good Sunday, Paul.

bostankorkulugu (33520) 2009-11-01 0:37

a very good example of its kind carlos... and that turquoise sky adds extra charm to it... hugs... korkut

subhendu_bagchi (3035) 2009-11-01 1:40

Wow, just excellent. Though this type of reflection shot is very popular in TE, but I am astonished to see its clarity and sharpness. The every detail of the architecture and the stones of ground is fantastic. Nice light also. Great angular framing. Very very thoughtful shot, and I am keeping it with my favourites. Tfs.
Congrats.
Have a nice sunday.
Subhendu

Bom-dia Carlos,
Ver também bonita fotografia de reflexão num charco de água, é certamente uma possibilidade para viver um bom dia, mesmo se estiver demasiado atrasado muito para salvar a minha alma:) tiveste uma ideia genial, e fizeste excelente uma imagem muito original. Felitações.
Passa um bom Domingo
Cordialmente

Bonjour Carlos,
J'aime beaucoup cette réflexion sur très peu d'eau. Les pavés apparents sont bien nets ainsi que les couleurs. C'est une très belle composition.

Hello Carlos,

A providential water puddle pool for the photographer !!! Very beautiful composition, with a good imagination in framing. I like much the clearness of the image given by the ideal weather and these natural colors. Original development of this basilica, cheer Carlos.

With all my friendships and with soon,

Jean-Charles

Hi Carlos: Nicely posted question and I'll take them all :-)
This is like an artwork captured so well in fine details. It looks like everything that you have mentioned and the framing is just superb. Well done and thanks for sharing. Best regards. Jusni

Angshu (33619) 2009-11-05 6:57

Ola Carlos
Superb indeed..its your karma that you got such a pristine reflection in this shallow puddle..and the diagonal is inspired. An excellent shot...there's quite a lot of reflection shots in TE and personally I am fascinated by them...this one's right in the top bracket. Good work!
Regards
Angshu

avene (10944) 2009-11-06 9:23

nice one, Carlos, I like the provokative title and note. I also like how the cobblestones create a somewhat Escher-esque sense of surreal perspective, hard to figure out distances, scale and what is layered on what, and I think that the solid structure of the Basilique only adds to the strangeness of the scene. good eye :)

best,
Kristine

danos (32302) 2009-11-14 0:24

Ola Carlos,

diomed (3923) 2009-11-23 8:35

kiks (6053) 2009-11-23 10:19

Special reflection composition you present us here. Not only the colors but also the textures are very appealing. I also like your choice of a diagonal.
Best regadrs

Benedict (7062) 2009-11-27 15:32

all of the above choices, i answer!
despite making my neck twist a bit, it is a wonderful wok!
Benedict

Longroute (9259) 2009-12-01 12:36

Surely we are not salved by that sight! (however fine it is)
And for beeing a puddle it's a very blessed one!
Not only the reflection is very clear but the stone texture gave to the image a very good graphic effect. It's a lucky capture but a very accurate composition too. Most pleasurable and artistic.
You deserve the best compliments,
ciao,
Donato
