Selfportrait in the city of Sao Pedro de Moel. Sao Pedro de Moel is a beach community near to the city of Marinha Grande in the district of Leiria. It is located within the Pinhal de Leiria, south of the mouth of Ribeira de Moel. It is a seaside village, west of the cities of Marinha Grande and Leiria. In 1463 Don Afonso V gave São Pedro de Moel to the Count of Vila Real. The family had a palace in Leiria and several houses in São Pedro de Moel. They lived on this beach until 1641, when the last Marquis of Vila Real and Duke of Caminha were executed. The widowed Duquesa de Caminha, mourned the death of her husband on a huge rock overlooking the beach that is named after him - Penedo da Saudade, at the top of which is a lighthouse with the same name. The legend of the Duquesa de Caminha also claims that the rock the still resonates with her lament.
This picture was scanned from Kodak negative (2002).

Good Morning Mikolaj,

You stand out well against the regular, geometric shapes of your b/g.
The composition is absolutely perfect for symmetry and for the triangle of the road appearing from the b/r/h corner!
Fine saturation.

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hello Mikolaj,
Well, you've done it with this one! The curvature of the street, and the straight lines of the windows, combined with the bright colors, and that old guy in the image makes this above an excellent capture of the scene in this city.
Great shot...

hello Mikolaj, nice to meet you. Honestly i think i kinda not all surprise you took your self picture between windows LOL

the quality of the photo is not good in my opinion. It miss some sharpness. I think another scan is needed. Also, the yellow tones on the overall photo could be corrected on ps for example.

dear Mikolaj Cava,
you chose excellent place for your best self portrait, or
shutters select superb character for their best presentation...
your posture and the slope make best foreground for the shutters, or
twin squares and the horizontal design make best background for your portrait shot.
thank you for your witty and amazing shot,
Akihisa

Hi Mikolaj...nice composition with great colors and details.

Witaj,
Doskonaly autoportret!
Idealna symetria! Troszeczke do calej kompozycji kolorystycznej nie pasuje kolor Twojej koszuli do tla, ale... ogolnie rewelacyjny pomysl i super wykonanie!

Hi Mikolaj, well done. The colours you are wearing compliment the windows.
What an incredible history the town has. New Zealand has a couple of centuries to go, and I wonder how many of our buildings will survive...
Nice self portrait.
Pete.
