Hello Rosa,
I like your point of view, giving dynamic lines to the composition!
Good perspective and fine details in the architecture..
Cannot see any WS so far, maybe later!
Greetings,

Hi Rosa.

Try to take the picture with people. They give a "extra-point" in the picture.

Anyway, I like the "hard" sense that it gives to us.

Rgs, Oscar

Bonjour Rosa,
l'idée est excellente de ce B&W, puisque comme tu le dis dans ton commentaire, il n'y a pas de verdure, pas d'arbre.
C'est cependant très dégagé et laisse passer beaucoup de lumière.
Un endroit presque trop calme.
Une photo qui nous change de nos paysages belges.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hello Rosa
Superb perspective yet again! This is quickly becoming your signature. I think all elements are well placed in the composition, you've chosen a good POV. I like both versions of the shot, but perhaps have a preference for the colour since the blue and yellow go well together.
Best wishes
Mark

Hola Rosa

Buena composición y perspectiva de tiro diagonal. El b&w está bien pero me gustaría ver algo de vida en la foto, por ejemplo alguna persona. Creo que ganaría mucho interés aunque de este modo tambien esta bien.
Saludos y sigue presentando tus fotos.

Hi Rosa,
The B&S motif well suits this urban scene, which is well rendered in the large format. The POV is well chosen and there is good depth, with the eye following the walkway well into the frame. The lamp posts provide good symmetry and enhancement. The WS coloured version is surprising because the colour combinations on the building simply do not work for me at all - your B&W version far better compliments the architecture and decor. All the best.

Hi Rosa,
...'doesn’t have any trees or other green elements ..it is almost incredible!. Good idee for B&W and good point of view.
A setubal no entanto tem mais verde, sou ir em 2002.
good shot Rosa,
Well done, Ambraço,

Hi Rosa,
Good B&W quality with nice sharpness, it doesnt look like a very busy place! Not an easy subject but technically fine work
I maybe would have cropped a little of the right side where there is a bit of building , but no big problem!
All the best

Greetings Rosa.
This shot is very creative. Alot of people go for a lush feeling in their pictures, if you understnad my meaning. They want it to be personal, have alot of emotional attachment. Here we see a very spare atmosphere, a scene I imagine could come from out of "A Brave New World". Your perspective is really good, a nice diagonal running down to the right of the shot. It's urban and desolate...great lonley feeling when looking at this photograph. I enjoy the colors in the work shop. the yellow is a nice standout against the blue sky. I think the sky lent itself more to the color version..but, i don't know...The solid blocks of tone in the B&W are growing on me by the second. I think you have done a very fine job...it's got me thinking!

Best regards,
Chris.

Hi Rosa
This is an impressive black and white shot. The exposure is very good and the composition emphasizes the graphic architecture well. The lack of human interest delivers an eerie feeling to the shot, which I like, as it is a touch mysterious. Good work.

Olá Rosa,
Antes de mais bem vinda ao TREKEARTH... acho que é a primeira vez que descubro as tuas fotos. Estou a ver que começas a estar integrada no sistema, esta malta gosta muito das notas :)))

Outra coisa que eles gostam... diagonais eheh e esta foto preenche todos os requesitos a nível de grafismo.

A minha unica reclamação (e eu reclamo muito) é a falta de contraste... está demasiado cinza para o meu gosto.

Mais uma vez bem vinda

Hola Rosa.
Muy buena foto en B&W, sencilla, pero tomada con muy buen punto de vista, el foco esta excelente. Me gusta la composicion, muy buena perspectiva. La foto que pusiste en WS, me gusto mucho.
Saludos.

The B&W fits well the essential lines of these buildings, the POV is, once again, well chosen, nice work Rosa, BRAVA!!

ciao,

Bom dia Rosa, pela escolha das tuas fotos, vejo que estás empenhada em divulgar o planeamento urbano de Stº André. Gosto da tua perspectiva e da apresentação a preto e branco, mas confesso que concordo com o Mário. Este espaço urbano e a própria arquitectura têem um ar frio e mais contraste iria acrescentar dramatismo e dar força à tua ideia. Até a falta do elemento humano ajuda à frieza do local apresentado.
Beijinhos,
Ricardo

Wonderful tonal range, with good use of diminishing linear perspective. Parabens & obrigado!

Hi Rosa, how beautiful your picture is. Great choice of Black and White. A very classic look of the picture. Good work. Greeting from Texas. Sothy

I couldnt decide if this one looks better than the original version. actually without colors you have done better because there s no one out there and quieteness and calm view matches with your color preference

Ola Rosa!
Gosto de imagens em P&B, ela faz a nossa imaginação ir longe nas fotos! Mas o mais interessante em sua imagem, é como um lugar grande como esse ser tão vazio! Não há ninguém nas calçadas! Impressionante, parece uma cidade nova e planejada que os moradores não chegaram ainda!
Parabéns e Abraço!

Bonsoir Rosa,
Le BN convient très bien à cette vue.
Jolie perspective avec tous ces bâtiments alignés.
Le fait qu'il n'y ait personne, pas de végétation donne une atmosphère particulière à cet endroit.
Excellent week end

Olá Rosa,
even colored is this place "unbeautiful". Well done in b&w.
Your composition and POV is good, but that doesn't help. Not against your photo, against what I see.
It was a german caricaturist who said more than 100 years before, that you can kill a human with a place to live.
I don't want to live there. TFS

Hi Rosa. I prefer the color version of this picture< I'm not much of a B&W person, but this version is also great because it shows very good details. The lamp on the foreground is not distracting a bit for me and the whole compo leads my eyes from left to right easily. Good capture and excellent point of view. Cheers :-)

Uma imagem com muito boa profundidade e a escolha a preto e branco a meu ver ajuda, ate mesmo pelos candeeros que as vezes a cores estragam um pouco as fotos e do qual aqui não incomodam nada

Hello Rosa,
well captured shot in diagonal perspective and with good contrast. The b/w version is really appropriate to this sad part of the city where the people is living without any vegetation outside.
Tfs and best regards!

olá rosa,
Bonita esta foto da bilbioteca de Santo André.
o contraste e luminosidade estão perfeitos.
E acho que o P&B foi uma escolha acertada.
Cumprimentos

Hi Rosa,
I like this BW shot with good composition and POV. The geometrical figure all over the frame give some power to this shot.
Well done
Thanks for sharing

Hi Rosa,

A judicious treatment for this photograph, I like very much the result. It is very graphic and pleasant with the eye. In addition this deserted place reinforces impact of this photograph. Beautiful management of the lights also. A beautiful composition, cheer.

Best regards,
