Good morning Jose
I love the deep dof, the dark skies adding to the composition and the people in the daily life against those buldings a great addition. Turning it into a sepia does give the shot a look of yesteryear.
Well done

Ola Jose


As vezes eu sinto isso tambem!
No centro de minha cidade, hoje não tão movimentado
como nos aureos tempos do Café, as construções
antigas me levam a Nostalgia, a olhar para aquelas ruas desertas de outra forma.
Rua pequenas e estreitas aqui!
Um bonito visual neste sépia.
Parabens!

hi Jose

The B&W makes it look like going down memory lane and you have given it a good title for this street view.

I wonder, do you shoot with a title in mind? I usually have no idea of a title until just before posting.

The POV is superb. Shot is full of life and calmness. It's like a scenery of a film.
I like very much your work, I think that this shot is of the best b&w of yours.
My compliments friend.

Hello Jose,

I like the effect you put in the sky, the sepia accentuates the "memory" mood you're capturing. It's true, some of the most banal and mundane situations can elicit a flood of memories that rush to one's mind. Even though I don't have that effect directly from your photo, just thinking of the concept does this. Although I have to admit, any time I see photos of Dublin, there is a flood of memories I cherish.

Kind regards,
Jim

Very interesting and effective composition; it at once has a modern as well as "old time" feel to it.

The sepia treatment and other post work compliment the photo completely.
Nice work,

"I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside.
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name.

I wanna feel sunlight on my face.
I see the dust-cloud
Disappear without a trace.
I wanna take shelter
From the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name.

We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do).

The city's a flood, and our love turns to rust.
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust.
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name.

We're still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(It's all I can do)."

Great shot and great song, Jose! Besides Dream Theater, I'm a huge U2 fan, too! :) Just couldn't help it with the lyrics...
Warm regards,
Diana

Hi Jose,
Beautiful vertical presentation of this busy narrow street.
Wonderfully moody somber image with a nice sence of urgency from the busy pedestrians.
The black and white treatment and the stormy sky give this image a timeless feel.

Good morning Jose,
I'm thinking you had a great time on your visit to Dublin.
Turning this shot into a sepia really gives it a look of yesteryear and is so effective.
The contrast and tone are great.
Well done, my friend.
