[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
When I pass throught the entrance door of that 400 years old place I loose my breath. All houses looked the same, like this one. And people still live there. The road is old dust, air was full of smell of smoke and smoken bacons from the roofs. Gracisce is the name of that old, old place.

Lovely shot Carmela.BW excentuates the history of the place.
Am undecided whether the frame is too off-putting though.

Bonjour Carmela, les vieilles pierres ont toujours attiré le regard, on les paie un prix surfait dans nos régions. Tu as une belle maîtrise du B&W et tu réussis toujours de beaux contrastes. Jolie photo Carmela.

The angle chosen, the B&W, the texture of the stone, your note, everything speaks to me of these old houses I love and reminds me similar ones in my island in the mountains, most of them abandoned.

It looks a hidden and forbidden spot that you have uncovered for us after hundreds of years. The light quality is amazing. The gray values make this a masterpiece. Excellent work Carmela.

I guess all that could be said about the photo is here already, there's no point in repeating myself.
I thought this had been taken in Portugal ;-)
Another perfect work. Well done.

Feelings.... this is what is all about. You have transported me to an old place with a vivid smell of old, and cooking aromas coming out of the old house. The B and W is perfect for the purpose of your note. Thanks

The perspective that you used, the sepia tone and the word picture that you provided all joined to provide a great insight into the subject Carmela. Thank you.

i like this one, perspective is nice and color that you used are also great,

regards
Marek

This is one of the best ten photos I've seen on TL!
You have achieved the zenith!
I'm simply wordless!
I am applauding you aloud. Really :)
