[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Once the wedding present of a queen, the preserved medieval town of Óbidos lying 100 km north of Lisbon is without doubt one of Portugal's most classic walled settlements. Walking the ramparts, visitors can enjoy views of windmills, vineyards and surrounding farmlands. In the residential area below, narrow cobblestone streets are lined with whitewashed houses sporting terracotta roofs. The shops are piled high with local handicrafts, while in spring the town is ablaze with geraniums, morning glories and bougainvillaea.

Olá José,
Bonita palete de cores e um bom nocturno. ISO elevado? Gosto da composição, já passei muitas vezes por essa rua mas nc reparei neste pov, mas funcionana muito bem com o enquadramento das escadas. Como curiosidade tenho uma foto em que apanhei aa janela de cima reflectida numa outra janela :)
Bom trabalho,
Aida

hi Jose

This type of heritage place must be seen in person to really appreciate its attractive feature, but through this post, some of the fine details can be seen here. I like the stairs going up.

TFS, bill

Hi Jose,
The light in this image is great and so are the colours. A very authentic view well captured and presented. Geat posting my friend.
Obrigado!

Hi Jose,
Nice color and old architecture , good composition and details , good for the theme, very well done

The flaking, layaered paint of the walls must be a most typical image for Portugal...I've seen it also in Teresat's pictures. Very nice capture Jose, excellent composition, as always!
TFS!

HI Jose
Love how you captured these old buildings, and the stairs leading us to probably more lovely houses.
Very colorful and well done

Hi Jose

Nice composition and colours.
Well noticed.

Ola Jose. This looks a wonderful place. I hope to visit northern Portugal which I believe is more natural and less tourist oriented than the Algarve. This fine textural image encourages me to do so.

What an interesting idea for the theme, Jose. I really like the age you have captured and the fine composition, with the stairs leading up the left side. The lamp adds a time element and the curving wall is the perfect addition to the many great lines here. I very much like this one.
Regards
Wanda

Olá Jose,

Uma bela composição, rica em belas cores e lembrando uma pintura! Excelente perspectiva, com destaque para a escadaria.
Parabéns e OPC
Abraço,

Hi Jose,
What a pleasure to browse your fantastic gallery!
I stopped on the beautiful image of this medieval city!
Superb composition using the superposition of two large plans in "aplat" for creating an excelllent perspective. I like much the luminous white facades well textured. The lamppost is a good addition at the composition leading the glance towards the superior third !
I am so glad to have discovered your work! My compliments! Annie

Hi Jose
This is the real atmosphere of Obidos.
Gr Jos

Hello Jose, this shot really appeals to me.I think that it is the straight lines of the building on the right contrasting with the curvy lines of the steps on the left.
There are lovely textures too.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Lovely capture of this architecture, in difficult light conditions too. I love the old, worn look of these houses.

Interesting looking place to visit! Very geometric picture!

Hi Jose,
Excellent picture with perfect sharpness and contrast
The light in this image is great and so are the colours. A very authentic view well captured
Take care
