Hola Charo:

Una bella postal de este lugar de Peratallada, y digo postal por que seguro que las postales autσctonas del lugar no creo que tengan esta calidad, color, ecuadre y punto de vista como el que has conseguido tu con tu ARTE (con mayϊsculas) No hace flata que te pongas colorada por que es la verdad. jejeje.

Un beso rico, rico...

Hola Charo,

muito bonita vista da igreja. Gosto da perspectiva do caminho que nos leva ao tema da foto. As duas αrvores e o verde quebram bem as cores do cιu e da arquitetura. Uma σtima captura!
Saludos
Carlos

I prefer your WS as it shows more detail in the church itself. But this is also a very pleasing image.
Nicely done Charo.

Hola Charo,
I like the POV and framing with the result that we look through the little alley to the entrance, the facade is a bit off-centred and good accompanied by both larger trees in front. The strong shadows tell about the light and explain the good clarity.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hola Charo,
me avergόenza reconocer que no he visitado nunca este bello pueblo medieval. Pero lo harι.
Tu foto capta su esplιndida arquitectura, sobre todo en la iglesia, que tiene una fachada frontal realmente curiosa e interesante. Me gusta cσmo has jugado con el efecto de la luz a tu espalda y con las sombras, y tambiιn la calidad de la imagen y de los colores, vivos y brillantes.
Buen encuadre, con mucha riqueza grαfica. Es una buena composiciσn.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hola Charo!

Con esa nota solo me faltava un caballo y una armadura! Tengo buenos reuerdos del dνa que visitι Peratallada...
Buena foto, con lo complicado que resulta sacar futos con segϊn que luz, con un cielo estupendo. Tal vez yo le hubiera quitado la sombra abajo a la izquierda...

Un abrazo, Jordi

Sencillita, pero me gusta. Siguendo el camino consigues elq que lleguemos a la iglesia y eso es un bonito efecto.

Un saludo, Oscar

Hola Charo!
C'est trθs jolie cette prise de vue et les couleurs sont merveilleuses. La couleurs des ιdiffices et de la terrasse s'harmonise parfaitement avec le beau bleu du ciel. La composition est excellente de mκme que l'ιclairage et les deux arbres verts sont un ajout ΰ la beautι de la photo.
Cordiales salutations,
Emilius

gunbud (34066) 2008-04-16 18:50

Hi Charo,
Excellent capture of the very old church. The palm trees make a lovely frame. The brown trees leading to the church brings nice depth and the sky is very striking.

Hey Charo,

A beautiful shot, well taken. Love the composition, because it really underlines this wonderful place. The colors and the technique is a bit on the nostalgic side, which is very likable.

See you.

adores (46979) 2008-04-17 18:26

Olα Charo!
Sem dϊvida uma igreja com uma fachada original. Gosto das cores e da composiηγo com as αrvores grandes de cada um dos lados e as pequenitas e parecem nos conduzir ΰ entrada.

pablominto (53746) 2008-04-18 1:00

Hello Charo,
The tree lined walkway makes an effective lead-in to the church!
Fine light and good colours, nice details in the architecture...
A well balanced composition with an interesting subject!

Una bella foto, non c'θ che dire!
Peccato perς che l'ombra sulla parte bassa sinistra, a mio avviso stona un pς.

emka (152072) 2008-04-18 15:56

Hola Charo,
Una foto muy linda, con buena nitidez y los colores agradables. Me gustan muchos los arboles. tienen un buen tiempo en diciembre! La iglesia es muy interesante, especialmente esta parte enfrente. TFS

Hi Charo,
Excellent photo of this church. The walls are wonderfully lit by a warm sunlight and the path leads the eye very well towards it too. The view is well framed by two trees and two street lamps. Very well done!
Regards,
Lars

Emile (20352) 2008-04-20 17:16

Hola Charo.
Muy buenos colores, claridad y perspectiva, interesante arquitectura, el arbol y la palma hacen un buen balance con la iglesia en el medio, me gusta mucho el cielo, tu WS es bueno pero me gusta mas esta.
Un abrazo y que pases una buena semana.

Greg1949 (9011) 2008-04-21 4:51

Charo, nice view, has the very formal feeling that earlier periods did so well in putting in their structures. The asymmetry of the church is very appealing. Fine capture.

Greg

marietom (34611) 2008-04-23 2:13

Hola Charo,

I just discovered this place through a shot of user rodgerg. It's very nice, your image is wonderful with beautiful light and colors. maybe sharpness is a bit low in some details.

I wish you a wonderful 2009!
