I like it!

 

 

This is fine work!

Magistral, querido Sig. desde todos los puntos de vista fotograficos posibles. Digna de ti. A tu altura, grande, fotografica.

Te deseo felices momentos y te emvio un fuerte abrazo, tanto a ti como a Rafa.

Fantastica!!!!

Bonita composicion y tonos de fabula.

Estupenda imagen, la composicion es realmente magnifica y los tonos sepia me agradan bastante; curiosamente mi tendencia natural es hacia colores mas vivos y no estos, sin embargo en tu imagen funcionan a la perfeccion. Saludos,

Sig, que impresionante, y en todos los sentidos de la palabra. Estupenda foto!!!

Un abrazo para ti y para Rafa.

Hola Sigfrid.

 

Magnifica foto con mucho encanto, muy bien vista y ejecutada.

 

Si la hubiera disparado yo, no se si habria podido evitar quitar el segundo tranvia, es una tentacion.

 

Enhorabuena. Saludos.

does it work? Or, indeed, why doesn't it work, or how could it be improved? Try to answer

such questions with your contribution.

 

 

Here's a photo I can really sink my teeth into. I especially like the presence of the trolley to the left, peeking over the hill. I like the choice of sepia - it makes the reflection from the trolley tracks look golden. All extraneous objects are excluded from the frame, leaving a strong graphic element to the image. Nice work. I'd encourage everyone to visit Sigfrid's San Francisco folder - some very nice images in there.

Felicidades Sig! Foto de la semana! Extraordinaria foto de una elegante sobriedad y con un tono que redondea la imagen. Felcidades nuevamente!

Happinesses Sig! Photo of the week! Extraordinary photo of an elegant sobriety and with a tone that rounds the image. Felcidades again!

I was immediately caught up with the very excellent composition of this image. Absolutely dead on for pleasing the viewer with no extranious material within the picture to compete with the subject. Cropped perfectly as well. I liked the choice of sepia as did Erik above. You get my vote of approval on this splendid piece.

Simple and graphic, excellent balance. The color is somewhat metallic to my eyes; perhaps black and white would have been more interesting here.

Excellent composition & light. Probably early morning from the lack of passengers. The light adds a good glow to the tracks. The second cable car adds a great deal. Maybe crop a bit of the cloudless sky out?

A striking image -- the soft copper tone, detail in the street and lettering on the the streetcar. But I'm left feeling like something is missing. Just not sure what.

Wow! I can't stop looking at it. In addition to the technical excellence, my eyes keep going back to the silhouette of the man sitting in the car on the right. Where's he going? Where's he been? This is a great capture. Congratulations!

Uff!!!vaya multitud... Un enfoque realmente acorde con el titulo, consigues dar toda la sensacion de carretera y vehiculo a pesar de ser tranvias.La gama de color muy bonita. Un puntazo por el vehiculo de la izquierda . Saludos: gema.

Translation:

Uff!!! multitude goes... An approach really according to the title, you manage to give the whole sensation of highway and vehicle in spite of being tramcars. The very nice scale of color. A jab for the vehicle of the left side. Greetings: gem.

Felicitaciones Sig ... realmente es una fotografia que encuadra perfectamente en varias categorias (street, travel). Excelente manejo de la luz. Regards.

Congratulations Sig ... really it is a photography that fits perfectly in several categories (street, travel). Excellent handling of the light. Regards.

The composition is just outstanding. Through originality and simplicity... Very fine work. And I also like the warm(ed) tones you used here. Congrats!

Hola Sig,

Ya sabes que me encanta San Francisco y evidentemente sus tranv? convertidos en iconos de la ciudad!

Muy conseguida la perspectiva de los ra?s. Y adem?la luz tenue de la imagen, evoca ese atardecer atemporal californiano, que tantas veces hemos vivido a trav?del s?imo arte.

Felicidades por la fotograf?y por la elecci?n de photo.net en insertarla como imagen de la semana.

Enriqueta.

Hello Sig,you already know that I love San Francisco and clearly This train turned into icons of the city!You obtained the perspective of the century. Y adem? does the tenuous light of the image, evoke this evening atemporal Californian, through that so many times we have lived to travel of art.Congratulations for the fotograf? and for the decision of photo.net in inserting it as image of the week.Enriqueta.

Wow, I love this! My favourite photos are usually uncluttered, simple yet strong compositions. Very well done. :-)

 

The only thing I dislike is the sepia tone. I guess some will like it though.

Sigfrid,

 

An outstanding composition. Clean lines for the eyes to follow to the cars. Excellent framing.ice touch catching the slightly offset second car.

 

Well seen!

 

Regards,
