Hello Sergio

The yellow borders seem out of place in such a historic environment. Probably meant to protect pedestrians from dangerous cars? Although there doesn't seem to be much traffic in your picture...

I like the inclusion of that one person in the distance.

The rows of yellow pillars had given an extra depth to the compo., Sergio, as some of them have graffiti upon.
Looks very odd to me - because I thought differently about this town, heard about several times in the news. Humbly said about this simple street on photo.
Buen tardes,
Ike

Hello Sergio,
A very nice perspective down this street. The play of light and shadow is very appealing and the many yellow poles add a great pattern as well. Excellent sharpness and clarity too.

Hello Sergio,
This is a very nice composition with a pleasant light under the partly overcast sky. The yellow bollards are very eye-catching and create superb depth. They also match the colours of the pretty buildings very nicely.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonsoir, cher ami Sergio,
Ici, pas question de stationner, ces bornes sont lа pour un rappel а l'ordre !
Il est vrai que cette rue pavйe bordйe de vieilles maisons disposant de fenкtres par ces curieuses grilles ornementales ou balustres.
Cela fait plaisir de voir une ville qui a su garder tout son charme du passй.
Amitiйs.
Philippe

Hello Sergio,
This is a very charming street. I like the repeating patterns of the yellow posts.
Happy 2018,

jemaflor (118440) 2018-01-10 23:44

Hi Sergio,
Good perspective result with your frame and this street, interesting architecture with these traditional houses, nice effect too with these lines formed by these yellow small columns, tfs.

jhm (181290) 2018-01-11 2:33

Hello Sergio,

This is a nice example how the street must become protected.
You chose a very well angle with depth and perspective.
An excellent composition, too.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Bravo et amitiй

Royaldevon (57398) 2018-01-11 8:12

Hello Sergio,

You have a fine eye for composition and this photograph lays testament to this skill.
The small, yellow bollards are very well positioned to act as both guides to a strong vanishing point and to create a fine sense of depth.
The limited, sombre, colour palette and the grey sky do not, surprisingly, give a sense of melancholy; the area still seems attractive.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Lidka (527) 2018-01-11 12:14

Dear Sergio!
Fine long and wide perspective.
Fine low POV.
Good exposure and capture.
Any people.
Excellent composition.
Good contrast and sharpness.
Very good DOF effect.
Well done!

abmdsudi (74762) 2018-01-11 20:52

Hi Sergio
A beautiful capture of the old quarter with row of charming buildings from yester years. It's a strong shot emphasizing on immense depth and long perspective using the receding diagonals and verticals to converge naturally into the distant. Brightness level is manageable with lovely shades and shadow blended by natural colours. Lovely capture and tfs, Congrats
Best regards

Ciao Sergio, great perspective on beautiful street, splendid light, excellent clarity and wonderful colors, very well done, my friend, have a good weekend, ciao Silvio

alvaraalto (33334) 2018-01-14 5:22

Hello Sergio
Very attractive street-scape with this strong perspective. Splendid play of lines leading the eye to the vanishing point just at the right position in the left upper side quadrant of the image.
Well done, have a nice Sunday. Groet Rob

josepmarin (59239) 2018-01-14 6:10

Hola Sergio,
sн, he vuelto al finalizar mi experiencia con mi propia web, y estoy contento de encontrar a mis viejos amigos aquн despuйs de casi dos aсos inactivo.
Me gusta la profundidad y la perspectiva de tu foto, en la que la arquitectura colonial y su simple belleza nos traslada en el tiempo, mientras podemos disfrutar todos sus detalles gracias a una gran nitidez en la imagen. Has trabajado bien la profundidad de campo.
Las pilonas o bolardos tienen una gran fuerza grбfica por su repeticiуn y una gran potencia cromбtica por su color amarillo tan vivo.
La composiciуn es efectiva y muy dinбmica, buen trabajo.
Un abrazo, amigo mнo.
Josep

Hola Sergio
Excellente perspective accentuer par les poteaux jaunes, l'architectures est trиs jolies, la personne ajoute un plus a la prйsention, qui est vraiment magnifique
Bonne soirйe
cricri

gervaso (24147) 2018-01-17 6:48

Hola, Sergio!

La arquitectura colonial de las casitas es muy bonita, y la calle es mostrada con muy buena perspectiva. A pesar del tiempo nublado, los colores estбn muy buenos. La nitidez tambiйn es excelente! Lindo trabajo!

PaulVDV (44050) 2018-01-17 22:50

Hello Sergio,
I haven't been in Cali but it surely looks attractive.
The length of the street and the many yellow poles add good depth to the image.
Beautiful windows and a beautiful wooden door.
Best regards, Paul

fabianoleite (13037) 2018-01-30 16:09

Hola, Sergio, me ha gustado mucho esa perspective de la calle, con una buena emfasis para los cilindros amarillos que forman dos lнnes paralelas. Los detalles de las ventanas y las piedras del suelo enriquiecen la composiciуn. Un paнs qeu tengo planes de conocer pronto. Muy bien!

lucasgalodoido (25850) 2018-02-25 15:45

Olб Sergio,

Parabйns e Abraзo,
Lucas
