Rainbow Row, a photo from Coimbra, North

Photographer's Note

Here is the Beta version RAINBOW ROW .

This is one of my personal favourite photos I captured in Portugal. That doesn't mean you have to like it as much as I do haha.

Why do I like this scene so much? Well first of all its 100% architecture, so we're off to a great start already :) Secondly I enjoy the UP pov when shooting architecture because it makes a bold strong statement.

Thirdly, living here in Canada we just don't have buildings like this. So for me travelling through Europe I'm always attracted to this style of infrastructure.

And although the lighting is mostly in the shaded areas, I was attracted to the mood and ambience.
Anyways, those are my personal thoughts, and i'd welcome your thoughts as well - positive or critical.

Thanks for looking

Hello Craig,
Great view up the façades of the houses, the different façades all feature their own interesting architectural details and attractive pastel colours of course. The lighting is wonderful and you controlled it so well.

Hello Craig,
I like the upwards point of view and the light and shadow contrasts, though I would have preferred slightly more detail in the shadow areas. Excellent rendering of the multi-coloured façades, which make a lovely contrast with the sky. Coincidently I am off to Portugal tomorrow for a week, specifically Lisbon with some side trips hopefully. See you again when I get back.

Hello Craig,
I know you well enough to understand your enthusiasm. Maybe you know me well enough to understand that I'm a little bit cooler. I don't really criticize the photo; the façades are nicely painted and the low perspective is amusing, but to me it's not that very interesting. I liked the graduation day picture a lot, but this leaves me rather indifferent. But you knew that already, didn't you.- ;-)
Best wishes,
Gert

Bonjour Craig,

Plutôt que de voir un arc en ciel, je vois plus un passage de l'ombre ŕ la lumičre qu'autre chose dans cette formidable contre plongée. Je constate que les lignes droites n'étaient pas ŕ la mode ŕ l'époque.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Craig,
What I like about this picture?> besides it typical architecture's design? The light.
Sun rays copming from atop and diminishing at each yard down the facade, and this makes the viewer to appreciate the difficulty of such camera-action.
Bravo for that try.
Ike

Hello

I agree perfectly on the look up. interesting. I think it would have been more interesting with full sun. Still, nice to see a different look.
