[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Locorotondo, a small town in the South of Italy. A very Greek-like atmosphere with the white stuccoed wall and the narrow streets and alleys. It's around lunch time, we can hear the radios and TVs as people are preparing their meal. Not a soul in the streets. Wait! Here's a straggler!

PP Notes:
- A small crop;
- Curves adjustment;
- USM;
- Re-sized for TL.

Enjoy!

nice capture... I like the composition much...
the white houses remind me my land on coast of mediterrenean... thanks alot for posting it P
pierre...

The lady in the photo is very dark. Did you pp her to become a silouhette?

A very nice daily scene...full of tranquility and charm. Very nice Pierre!

Superbe contre-jour sur cette promeneuse, dans un environnement parfaitement adapté à cette prise de vue. Les petites touches de couleurs vertes et beige, présentes ici et là, apportant de la douceur et de la vie à ton image qui, sans elles, aurait été quasi monochrome. Bravo, j'aime beaucoup.
Martine

Belle prise Pierre. J'aime bien la gradation de ce blanc laiteux. Excellente position de prise de vue et que dire de cette belle silhouette. Belle luminosité.
Bravo!

Very common mediterranian shot but with nice composition. Some might consider this crop too tight, but that's the feeling you have while passing through these narrow streets!
Great job, full of mood, congratulations Pierre!

Regards,
Robert

Hi Pierre,

I love Locorotondo (five "o"!)and the "valle d'Itria".

Hi Pierre,
I like these kind of photos, in the narrow streets with a person taking a stroll, it definetely looks alot like Greece to me! A few years ago it would have been my grandmother walking the villages just like this! Makes me smile =)thanks

Looking at the thumbnail, I immediately thought of Greece, Pierre... but one thing gives it away; I miss some luminousity here. The beige and white hues are very muted IMO. Of course most of these villages have very narrow streets like we see here, for keeping the sun out of the houses... but I'd expect to see some extra brightness on top, so I presume it was a cloudy day ?
I love the silhouette of that elderly lady... it breathes the Mediterranean mood: take it easy ;o)).

A very serene presentation of a daily life scene.
Nicely and modestly presented.
Compliments are in order.
Groet,
Joop.

Hello Pierre, you caught a great moment in this pretty street, very old europe-like :)

I like the colours of the wall, the texture of the stones, the street name sign and the street lamp.

Very well done. Yan

Jolie silhouette sur fond pale! Tres bonne composition! Tres italien comme cliche! Bien reussi! Michel

Wonderful contrasts, beautiful austere looking yet soft...TFS,
Fran

Not sure why I like this SO much, but I do! I think I'm liking the lack of "real" color, and the overall crispness of the shot. And of course, the ordinary woman with her cane gives us the human interest.

Gayle :)

aaahhh, so typically Southern... well done, (*_*)

Excellent work, Pierre. I really think this is a great image. Very quiet and peacegul. I love the details. I am expecting any moment to watch this woman walk out of the frame!!

I like the almost monotone look here, the clear details and interesting focus just add to it. Nice photo!

Bonjour Pierre, j’aime beaucoup cette composition qui donne un ton apaisant à l’ensemble. On a l’impression de marcher avec cette dame.
Bonne photo.

I would have liked to add 12% gaussian noise to this and put it in my Figures in Urban Landscapes series. It has that feel I like about people moving around urban landscapes. Good catch of a typical Italian scene.

Hi Pierre,
Nice shot. Good capture of daily life. I'd suggest brightening up your subject a little, though. She seems a little dark in the scene. Well seen, this scene. ;P
