The returning blue and white motiff in your pictures is most appealing, Goncalo.
Very nice view on the small bell and chain to ring it, over the door decorated with blue "crown".
The shadow in an a skewed angel gave good contrast on the image.
Bom fim de semana,
Ike

Hi Goncalo,

Very good vertical composition with warm colors. I like especially colors, it looks like there are just 3: white, blue
and grey.

Have a nice evening

Another fine shot in blue and white.
You have excellent sharpness and light control, no sign of oe on those white walls!
You have chosen a fine viewpoint which executes a most interesting pattern of lines.

Have a lovely Sunday,

A vivid and well composed shot with strong geometrical focus. The blue contrasts against the white so well and even the shadow adds to your composition. Thanks for sharing

Allô Goncalo!
Je ne savais pas qu'on retrouvait les couleurs de la Grèce au Portugal. La prise de vue est très intéressante et parfaitement composée. La qualité d'image est excellente et bonne gestion de l'éclairage entre ombre et lumière. Merveilleux contraste de couleurs avec le superbe ciel bleu.
Bravo!... et toutes mes amitiés,

Olá, Gonçalo!

Um interessante detalhe da arquitetura, e com a luz muito bem controlada! Apesar da luz forte, que posso ver pela sombra forte, o contraste entre a parte iluminada e a sombra ficou perfeito! Excelentes cores! Lindo trabalho!

Ola dear Goncalo

Long time we don't see you. Have you ben on holidays? Excellent vertical frame here and a nice play of light and shade. The blue and white tones are beautiful, very stark and contrast with one another so well. The architecture is also very attreactive and I like the unique POV that you chose.

Hi HOLA dear Goncalo

Another wonderful and fantastic South-European image.
So vivid prime color and much sun light, those I right now miss very much. I like this one among recent works.
Sharp and clear image as usual and best combination of each component. Thank you for your sharing with your best work and have a good day!

Hi Goncalo,
Nice to see another corner that in blue and white that full with line works and different geometrical shapes, I like these unique old stone bench and stone floor, very beautiful all these old elements, interesting composition, sunlight and shading add extra effect to the view too, distinct photo under bright sunlight, good shoot.

jmdias (114262) 2012-11-03 6:33

gonçalo

outro ângulo magnífico com os detalhes da linda e simples arquitetura lusa. gosto muito do enquadramento, mas preferia uma luz mais direta em toda a lateral, contudo nem sempre isso é possível. apesar de tudo até a sombra está bem colocada aqui.

abraços

jorge

jhm (211734) 2012-11-04 3:07

josepmarin (59385) 2012-11-06 12:03

Olá amigo Gonçalo,
buen encuadre en un ángulo visual cerrado que centra nuestra atención en la bonita arquitectura tradicional de la capilla y sus colores blancos y azules, que se conjugan perfectamente con el cielo.
La geometría de líneas de estas paredes, sus texturas, su perspectiva y el pequeño campanario, son un magnífico complemento estético para una bella composición.
Gran trabajo.
Um abraço,
Pili e Josep

Ola Goncalo
I'm amazed at such a perfect depiction of this door surrounding: So well-balanced control on light to the point I can perceive details on directly-sunlit wall while we get soft contrast in shaded areas for a pleasing allover view of an exotically-decorated chapel.
Cheers.
Robert

jacquest (19269) 2012-11-27 8:34

Hello Goncalo,

I like the straight line leading to the door. The contrast of white and blue is eye catching as is the oblique shadow line on the wall. Good sharp colors.

Best regards

Jacques

Angshu (56760) 2013-01-17 3:15

A clean image with good geometry & clean lines. The blue & white contrast beautifully. the small bell tower under the arch works well against the clear blue sky. Lovely work!
