Interesting architectural scene, well played by light and color, well done.!

Hello Malgorzata. Beautiful Mediterranean colors and lights. The Moorish-style buildings, Wed unit. I see leadership in the electrical wiring could not solve the rising :-) Very good point of view. The stone pavement houses nicely offset by the bright white color. You're beautiful places you go.

Hello Malgorzata,
Nice view indeed. The colour of the sky looks somehow unreal but it also looks beautiful. Your surely have used a filter to dreate this effect. Contrast and sharpness is again superb. Why are the streets all empty in most of your photographs?
Have a nice day,
Thomas

Czesc!

Mam slabosc o tego rodzaju scen. Malych czystych wąskich hiszpanskich uliczek z domami o bialych scianach po obu stronach. Az chce sie wbiegac na gore po tych schodach!

Pozdrawiam, leszek

Bonjour Malgorzata
Une belle montée des marches entre les immeubles d'un blanc éclatant et sous un ciel tout bleu.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

Hello Malgorzata,
I like this perspective looking up the steps through the typical whitewashed houses. No people, but perhaps it was siesta time, that polarised blue sky looks glorious and no doubt the day was hot. Very good architectural detail and some interesting shadow play.

Bonjour Malgorzata,

Une très belle contre plongée qui mets bien en évidence les maisons blanches andalouses.. On sent la chaleur du soleil se réfléchir sur les murs. Le ciel est magnifique.

Amicalement

Jolie vue de cette belle ruelle bordée de maisons blanches. Pas facile ici de maitriser les différences extrêmes de luminosité. Tu as très bien réussi.
Amicalement

ciao Malgorzata,
cattura lo sguardo il contrasto tra l'azzurro e il bianco con la scala al centro della scena.
Ottima la definizione e la gradazione di luce,
buona serata
maurizio

vladic (4563) 2011-10-18 9:31

Witaj Małgosiu,

Kontrast błękitu Turnbulla oraz delikatnej chłodnej szarości rozdzielonej ugrami niech wystarczy za cały komentarz do tej wytwornej kompozycji.

Pozdrawiam,
Władysław

jemaflor (147076) 2011-10-18 9:53

Hello Malgorzata,the sun drenched white buildings are well exposed,with the steps giving a nice feeling of depth.
A lovely street scene.

Silvio1953 (221525) 2011-10-20 4:53

Ciao Malgorzata, great perspective on lovely stairs, wonderful mediterranean colors, excellent clarity and splendid light, very well done my friend, ciao Silvio

josepmarin (59385) 2011-10-21 4:45

Hi Malgorzata,
because of the strong light and of the fact that this alley is totally deserted, I notice that indeed it is the siesta time.
In this good framing you have caught the simple beauty of the white architecture of the Andalusian villages, with an elegant game of light and shades, and a deep perspective of the alley, which lift our eyes towards background.
The intense blue sky is another great aesthetic factor in this beautiful composition.
A great work.
Best regards,
Josep

Mamont (144) 2011-10-21 9:48

Hello Malgorzata,
Very well composed minimizing the empty space. Beautiful place. I like the white houses and dark blue sky.. Great contrast and you managed very well not to overexpose or underexpose the extremes you had to deal with.
Thank you for an interesting comment that makes me thinking about visiting the place next vacation.
Regards,
Mikhail

ashres (1055) 2011-10-21 10:18

Hi Malgorzata
a nice perspective view with those steps leading to the wonderful place. Treatment to the sky is little unusual giving a feeling of rain in sunny day. nice contrast and light. great shot, have a great weekend,
ashish

TopGeo (38220) 2011-10-21 14:27

Hello Malgorzata,

Best Regards
Georgios

abmdsudi (95869) 2011-10-22 9:10

Hi Malgorzata
Looking at this is just like stepping back in time, an eye catching sight in stunning white and blue. A wonderful looking old dwelling and there is lots to look at, great detail and good lighting. Amazing white painted houses a typical Mediterranean scene, impressive composition and low pov inviting viewers to wonder around through cobbled stone path. The blue sky makes this white environment extremely stand out. Fascinating architecture, well done
Best regards

lpi (4857) 2011-10-24 11:29

Salut Malgorzata,
Très jolie rue avec une excellente lumière, belle prise de vue.
Amicalement,

Longroute (19600) 2011-10-25 7:36

A beautiful alley with a strong Mediterranean taste. I like the strong chromatic contrast white/blue and the sense of perspective of these long stairs. A very good light and a pleasant clarity make the image appealing.

Best regards,
Donato

vrabieionut (2189) 2011-10-25 13:14

Good evening Malgorzata,

A very nice POV.
Fantastic sky and a beautiful houses, the composition is soo impressive.

Have a nice evening,
Ionut

Angshu (56760) 2011-10-29 22:46

Hello Malgorzata
Difficult to choose from your recent posts from Spain..all beautiful pictures!
Like the fine perspective & the depth of the picture as our eyes glide up the steps between the white walls towards the blue sky The exposure has been well handled especially on the white. Good work!
With Regards
Angshu

nobuikehonda (3848) 2011-11-06 5:29

Hello Malgorzata,

Yes, I am looking up! This particular image is for me. : ) I like the steps very much. The particular POV helps to create this incredible depth and we see it goes straight up the slope. The perspective helps to pleasantly emphasize the length of the slope. Uniformly painted white walls of the houses are stunningly beautiful. The absence of people in the street creates a touch of surrealism, which helps to preserve the uninterrupted clear views. The sky is truly blue. I can well understand how you were motivated to photograph this particular image. It is a very lovely photo.

With my very best wishes,
Have a very pleasant Sunday, Malgorzata
Nobu.

Hello Malgorzata. Even when you see the thumbnail, we know this is a southern country. And then you open the picture and see this beautiful alley with the stairs. The white-painted houses and the dark blue sky contrasting perfectly. Total worth seeing and beautiful. Rgds, Wolfgang.
