Hi Michael,

Excellent street candid shot. The light seems very difficult and you have controlled it very well. Everything is very sharp. Tfs

Regards,

Hemant

Hello Michael.
Thanks for posting this daily life picture of Cartagena; I have read Marquez's novels and autobiography, and he mentions this city all the time. I had never before seen a photo of it on TE, but then I never thought of searching. I love the look of those old colonial buildings on each side of this narrow street in a good composition. Also, your exposure and possible post processing has provided some good definition in the sky despite the contrasting light and shade.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Michael!
Although some small parts of it are a bit overexposed, everything else pleases me a lot in this beautiful street life, urban and architecture photograph!
Sharpness, pov, dof, vertical format, colors and composition are all very good features here!
TFS - congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan
