Hello,

Le contraste de deux sorte de pierres est mangigique, du pavage gris et la maison ocre, de toute beauté.

Bravo et amitié

Dear Jose,

I am sure I was looking like a kid when I almost kissed my monitor by closing to it to try to see where this road starts and where it goes. :-)

Yesterday, just when I wanted to click ADD, there was error report about your deleted photo. :-)

No matter that, like always before, your shots are so inspirational, colorful and full of meanings. You can say in the note: house, or road, or village, but every of your final products are more than "simple" atmosphere as some would say.

All the best!
David

Bom dia José!

Mais uma excelente foto. Desta vez da "rua da lavra". Dois aspectos em especial que gostei nesta foto, primeiro é a perspectiva ascendente, dando-nos bons detalhes das pedras. Sendo o outro ponto que gostei muito foi o efeito que deste à foto! Ainda não tinha visto um assim. Parece que as casas tem uma luz diferente (divina), ao contrário das cores e luz da montanha e céu. Fantastica amigo!

meus parabéns.
grande abraço.

Hello Jose,
The rough texture of the brick emphasizes your Note about 'hard skin of time'. The towering wall seems to approach the height of the mountains. A supreme view of less trodden towns in Portugal. I thank you for posting this and looking forward to the next town. My compliments...Danilo

Hi Jose,
Excellent close-up on this old corner street. The perspective is superb. I like the strong colors but, I think that a partial desaturation could work nicely here. Humbly, I propose you a WS for showing you what I say. Don't mind!
Bravo! Annie

Hi Jose
The eyes are drawn to the green mountain in the background, to the erosion on the walkway and structure caused by time.
There are dark blue spots in the skies is this an effect you created?

Ola dear Jose.
Good composed picture, but I think something wrom with the upload, its less than 800 pixels, (700 by 175 kb)
Which maybe caused the unsharpness in the forground and noise around the roof.
But, looking at all the nice comments, I could be wrong, right ? haha
Two more from Me, Jose.
Cheers, Jan

Hi Jose, An appealing image which shows the timelessness of this sort of country village. The textures are a stand out and the yellowy nature as with many of your photos looks good. TFS. Murray.
