another corner in Gracisce Photo

Photographer’s Note

Gracisce is a wonderful village on a hiltop on the east side of Istria but still in the mountains. Its situation is as wonderful as the place itself with its old houses, alleys, churches and see-throughs

Hi Gerrit, I can see how difficult the light conditions were here with extremes of harsh sun and shade, but you have done well with it. What a magical little village you have brought us, thanks for sharing, Lisa.

Namaste Gerrit,
composition is nice. You have divided the frame into two parts. In lower part there is a beautiful scene of a alley and some buildines, and in upper part it is a portrait of a lovely window. Sharpness and clarity is fantastic. A bit less exposer may delete the detail of wall of upper part, so it is perfect. The stony path in foreground increased its beauty. Tfs. Have a great time.

Good morning Gerrit,
really a nice corner of Gracisce with the earthy road and the native architectural style of the houses.The arch creates a perfect frame from the interior of this village.I'd like the light to be a little bit lower.

Have a nice day,Danos

Hello Gerrit,
You have made good use of the arch to frame the view of the town beyond. I like the warm ambient light and the tones of the old stones. The old paved road makes an interesting lead line.

Wonderful composition. The arch is not simply used as a frame but you have also included plenty of interest on this side with the church-like window. Well done

Hi Gerrit,
Good frame and vertical format, light is well managed with these strong contrasts, good idea well presented.

Hello Gerrit,
I like this image much, it is a composition skilful, effective, descriptive, and not very easy to realize because of contrast between shade and light. Clearness is very good. congratulations.
Have a nice day.
Cordially.

Hi Gerrit,

I can say you have managed the exposure perfectly in this one. It's such a difficult situation but I don't see it was a problem for you. Super fine definition and excellent natural colors/lights. Very well done!
Regards,
Carlos

jafadabret (40137) 2009-09-12 6:11

Bonjour Gerrit.
J'aime beaucoup cette photo. Tu as bien maîtrisé les différentes lumières pour donner autant de détails dans les parties à l'ombre que dans celles exposées à la lumière du soleil. J'aime l'équilibre de la composition.
Superbe !
Amical salut !
Jacques

TopGeo (22089) 2009-09-13 0:33

Hi Gerrit! A picture that impresses with the different dynamics of levels above and in and lightings and shades also Good vertical composition and architecture of impressions Idea irreproachable

batalay (21122) 2009-09-14 5:19

What an impressive scene, Gerrit. The composition, colors and textures are all first rate. Although I've visited Croatia many times, most of my visits have been on cruises. I know Hvar, Trogir, Split and of course Dubrovnik, but I did not know about Gracisce.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Gerrit
Great light management. We can see detail in both sunny and shaded areas. Good POV as the arch provides a natural frame for the street.

daddo (11479) 2009-10-19 3:52

Zdravo Gerrit. Looks like a charming place and your photo has captured the ambiance so well. There is such a variety of textures and such a lovely display of light on walls, stones and gravel. Very inviting image. I assume it was not an easy shot to take considering the bright light. Regards. Klaudio.
