A wonderful view of the streets in this Portuguese city - I like the fine mix of colours and you spotted the corner with plants nicely. Also the combination with 50% sky works great - only too bad theres some dust - perhaps would NeatImage do the job.

Thanks Fernando for sharing.

Fernando

Fernando,
This is one of my favorite views in Obidos. You have captured the moment in this photograph. Well done.

Ola Fernando!! a cidade onde trabalho se chama Obidos tambem, porem em pleno rio Amazonas, mas tambem tem casarões antigos como esses bem registrados aqui.
Um abraço amigo.

Enquadramento, composição e balanços de cor bem conseguidos num cenário que nunca me cansa. Os incêndios do Verão tornaram esta fotografia mais complicada em termos de luz e cor do céu. Bom trabalho.

Very nice place Fernando, colorful and I like your point of view, great atmosphere, beautiful villas, well seen.

Maybe a few steps to the left to have a view in the street, bit the pic is nice, I like the colours here !

Hi Fernando!
How nice is this village! And you send to us a nice compo, with 'movement' (the pov over the curve) and many interesting details. I like this yellow of the houses very much, even if the whites walls are a little bit overexposed.
Nice compo!
ciao, Giorgio

I have forgotten to comment on this, Fernando. This is of course one that shows signs of a very good eye for the right perpective. Although there is not much detail, there is such a nice balance of colours and lines and shapes, that it is a perfect photo. But I did a WS nevertheless because of the noise.

No me canso de ver imágenes de los cascos viejos de las ciudades. Es lo primero que hago cuando llego a un pueblo.
No conozco Obidos, pero uno que visité hace años me encantó: Guimaraes ¿Lo conoces?

I LOVE this shot. I am so crazy about such little narrow, curving streets, cozy houses, surrounded by trees. You framed it beautifully.

Yes, Fernando, we live in different places, so it means different shots, but I think, that TE is very good in that case to see it. But I`m new in photos, so I`m not example, how to make photos, I just do and test. Here you have very pleasent street view, especially I like that white/green/yellow combination. You allready have fine gallerie, I have gone it through a bit and tried to understand your way to make shots. Best regards.
