Entrance to Ciudadela, a photo from Mures, West

Photographer's Note

This ancient door is closest to the square of the Citadel to which he gave his entrance into the walled city.

-------------------------------------------------

Esta antigua puerta es la mas cercana a la plaza de la Ciudadela hacia donde daba su entrada en la ciudad amurallada.

Hello Luis,
It's a well composed photo showing what is basically a beautiful old building, but also revealing that lots of restoration work is still needed in Sighisoara. I like the view through a dark vault and downhill through another arch. The contrasts were quite strong but you handled the exposure well.
Best regards,
Gert

Hello Luis,

Part of the charm of this town is that it doesn't matter which direction you go, there is something interesting or elegant or eye-catching, whichever way you go. No map required. For a moment I thought this was one of Silvio's posts. Good framing, colour and sharpness. Tfs!

Hello Luis,
A very nice view down the narrow street and the old arches and walls. You handled the lighting very well, it must have been quite challenging. The textures of the old walls look good.

Hola Luis,
you have a great eye for beautiful compositions. You have chosen an optimal angle here to use the walls on both sides as a framing and to limit the sky.
Very eye catching resulting scene.
Excellent work,
M

Pozdrav.
Lep prolaz i stara arhitektura, dobro pokazano sa lepim bojama, kontrastom i perspektivom.
Lep ulaz u grad i fotografija.
Zelim vam lepu i mirnu noc, sve najbolje u novom mesecu koji je poceo.

Hello Luis, I love all the textures and colours of the walls, that are obviously in need of repair, but a gift to a photographer like you.
The light is perfectly managed.
Thanks for sharing, kind regards, Jean.

Hola Luis,
Superbly used the light and shadows that mingled over the ancient small alley.
Details of the cobblestones in dark hue, peeled plaster walls and the elegant lampost - all combined in nice contrast.
Have a nice sunday,
Ike

Hi Luis
A great one through the arch of this rustic interesting medieval area.
Cheers

Hola Luis,

What a fine shot!
You have used the archway as an effective, natural border guiding us inwards, eager to see what is beyond! And, no disappointment there, the atmosphere of the ancient setting is conjured up by the rough, shabby textures and the cobbled street. We even have another archway to establish a sense of mystery ...!

Thanks for sharing this,
Bev :-)

Hi Luis
What a wonderful combination of textures. And the lighting is very good.

Hello Luis

Such a picturesque view here of the walled city. I like the laundry hanging out to dry. Adds a bit of flare to the image. Nice capture.

Hola Luis, Nice view of this passage. it is not in an especially good state, it needs a bit of renovation, but is very picturesque. Nice composition framed by the arch. Delightful picture. I remember this place very well. Best regards MAlgo

a well exposed view through the arches. Lovely textures and colours

Hello Luis,
This photo shows me how I remember Sighișoara.
Good light management and a clear view of the inner structure as well as the view throught the gate.
The cobblestones shine beautifully in the incoming light.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Luis
what an entrance this is, this is awesome. I hope the town doesn't disappoint, because this is a wonderful start. Look at those aged walls and the cobblestone. Wish we had this in Canada. great set up and overall visual in this compo
cheers
