A charming view of this Patio, a very nice university indeed. Good POV and angle. The tower bell fits well and proud in that deep blue sky. Well done Joao.

Excellent picture Joao, beautiful patio of the University of Coimbra, very paceful here, maybe a pity are the shadows on the facade, sorry this is personal!

Hi Joao,
I like this architecture, you have a beautiful university! My eyes are in particular attracted by the two women in red...I don't know why!
Very nice to see!

Spaceful, peaceful, beautiful and so very well managed in light and composition, Joao! :-) The clock tower and the statue are beautifying the image and make it a fine example of the Coimbra University architecture style. Very well done!

Very beautiful old architecture you are presenting to us in this view of the patio, Joao. Good shooting angle where the trees and the monument are well placed in the composition, and I like to see the people wandering around and enjoying the place. Good colors and detail, thanks for sharing.

Nice architecture to watch and the people excellent to give us life in the image and to give us the true dimensions of for instance the statue - Surely a place with a long history - fine capture Joao - I like the play with shadow and light.

Hi Joao, very peaceful picture this one, early in the morning I guess. You renderd the sunlight so beautiful, and those women who stand there talking, it's really relaxing. I like it

Nice view. It seems so much less massive than in the panorama. It really comes down to a human scale here. I like these people in their winter coats giving a feel for the weather of the day. Perhaps it is a little low on the contrast but the image is very nice and nicely photographed. Nicely done.

Well made capture of this fine 'patio' well suited for the fine notes. I like the openess with only some few people scattered araound. Well done Joao

Un cadrage large qui nous permet de mieux cerner le lieu de cette place qui a beaucoup de vie avec les personnes presentes.
La presentation est interessante et le contraste est trйs bon.
Bravo Joao.
