Still life / portrait, street Cabo Espichel, Portugal (new version 31/05)

nice,,and good mood over here...

I really like the muted colors in this one, Mike. The boy on the right side adds interest.

Shot is very good. Image is little too flat, due to the scan I suppose. Adjusting levels in PS would brighten it up a tad.

Hay Hans, thanks for your comment, my laptop screen is a bit off. so,correction is done, groet, mike

that's quick! But it seems it also washed out some yellow, wich seems to be part of the wall.

Hay Hans, I was just brouwsing when your massage arived and made a new reduction in photoshop, it seems that I can not do better than this. The moment the picture was made there was rather bright sun and havy shadow in the gallery. groetjes, mike

Had it in the memory, so I copied it to ps. I adjusted some. If you mind please tell me!

Hello Hans, I just see your work on this picture on my laptop, tomorrow I have a look on my desktop that configuration is better adjusted. Your sample lookes a bit pink on my laptop, to flatering. So tomorrow I be critical ;~))) mike

I quite like the washed out colours whether you meant them like that or not! Has a more natural feel IMO. I like all the chairs!

Hay Colin, the washedout colors are about, the building is an old monistery close to the most western part of europe mainland at the atlantic ocean shore, so burning summer sun, salt wind and beating winter rains is part of the landscape and architectural skin. I made the picture about 11 years ago, so the real colors are not in my memory anymore, but this will be close. I made a picture one year before this one on the same place, different chairs but same situation and a little different in coloring like this, maybe different film different time of the day, so? I add the xample. mike

 

beautiful again.

 

Recht van voren ipv met schuin invallende lijnen maakt deze foto heel krachtig.

Hi Mike,

heel prachtig - a good and pleasing composition!

Greetings Paul

 

Somige situaties vragen om een vlakke oplossing en inderdaad is dit er een, de repeterende vormen maken zo een rijmpje van een poetische plek. Mocht je ooit nog eens in Portugal komen is het een speciale aanrader. groet, mike

Thank you for passing by. yours, mike. (you should see the landscape around this place, looks like nothing else, fantastic.) mike

Hoe zou ik dit niet mooi kunnen vinden

Is het jouw achtertuin?

 

Hoi Els als je ooit in die buurt bent is het een aanrader. Dit is onderdeel van het voormalige klooster aldaar, maar heel cabo Espichel is wonderlijk, prachtig sfeertje. Op de hoogte van Setubal, naar de kust, uiterste puntje. groet, mike

Hi Mike, Nice composition, I like the boy on the corner.I like as well Hans's Version.Thanks for your comment. Pnina

Hay Pnina, nice to see you passing by. I still did not try Hans his version on my desktop, symply forgot that, thank you for remembering. mike

groetjes

Els

I do like your recent uploads alot! I like the building and of course the boy....but most of all the chairs...can't say why exactly...maybe they are just inviting someone to sit in them.

Thats a nice idea Kristin, an invitation. Actualy the chair is much used in painting history for expectance.

One year before I took this picture I went to this place as well, there were chairs placed too, different chairs, but placed in the same posed way as these are, I think they do understand there aesthetic impact very well. (see my answer to Colin include the capture I made then) The kid is selling shells. yours, mike

Cabo Espichel, a very interesting cape near Setubal Portugal.
