Is this from the Castello? I never went into the castle, just around...  Looking forward to see more of your interpretation of Lisbon! And you're right, one has to go back.

A very good composition, with excellent use of light, forms and cropping. And I appreciate the melancholic expression.

Even though the cigarette might be too long (could be a special brand with extra long filter?), I love the setting of this photo. The colors and composition is brilliant!

A very good shot of a beautiful girl. See attached my interpretation of preferred colors (and cropping).

A very good portrait. I like the light, colors and the melancholy.

Some people selected from quite a lot of shots of this scene. What do you

think?

Great shot!

The compensations should show -0,3 EV. The photo is taken when it was quite dark; the light blue area down right is a part of a photo display show on the wall.

Markku, that can vary a lot. In Arles, there are about 15 different venues displaying 40 - 50 different photographers. Most of my shots here on pn are from exhibitions in the old railroad garages, and some are from different churches. During the festival week, one may meet the photographers, talking about their works. All exhibitions are presented by their photographers during the week of the photo festival, but the exhibitions are open throughout july and august, at least. The week after the photo festival, there is a music festival which we also use to attend. I guess in average I spend 1,5 hour a day visiting photo exhibitions during these two weeks.

Thanks for your kind comments, Markku. I guess this photo was the reason for my name appearing:

A brilliant play with colors and forms!

Its amazing how a "simple" photo like this can have such a strong Ilia signature. A great shot! 

I think this is a shot with many qualities, and some unreleased potential. I attach a version with slight modifications of white balance, crop and contrast, to illustrate what I mean. This is of course a matter of taste, I hope you don't mind me playing around with your photo...

A both artistic and humorous shot. Well composed!

One of the better "shadow stripes" shot I've seen. I like your original version best.

A good and interesting shot!

Great composition and colors! I specially like the green in the door glasses.

I like the dreamy, romantic expression of this photo.

A very nice photo of a very beautiful woman!

Interesting shot, well composed. I like its melancholy.
