Hola Goncalo,

Wonderful capture of Christmas lights on street. Well illuminated street helps to see all details on building facades with your well balanced, long exposure. Blue lights and shape of star lights are beautiful.

I wish Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

Regards,

Ertugrul

Bonjour Goncalo,
des couleurs de fкtes bien rendues dans des lumiиres nocturnes parfaitement gйrйes, et tout cela dans un travail propre, net et prйcis.
Des rues dйsertes qui а certains moments doivent кtre trиs animйes.
Une ville trиs propre en tous cas, cela me change de Liиge.

Regards.
Daniel.

Hi, Gonзalo. The perspective is very good in your shot. This is mainly due to the repetition of the stars, but also to your framing with the nice curved light in the foreground. A nice festive season atmosphere and a very good light.

riclopes (35577) 2007-12-28 0:35

Oi Gonзalo, uma vez que este ano nгo temos a бrvore gigante no Terreiro do Paзo... ;-) Estб fantбstica esta captura nocturna. Adoro este 1є plano а esquerda e a perspectiva das estrelas a guiar-nos por aн fora. Grande foto e um belo postal de Natal que atй imagino que tenhas impresso para distribuir... ;-)
Boas entradas e desejos de um excelente 2008, se nгo nos falarmos antes (vou para fora daqui a pouco...),

Hello Goncalo,
Stunning gold and blue colors are seen in rich compliment of each other in the lovely Christmas scene from Libson. The stone walk is seen in incredible detail as the whole image is framed wonderfully by the traditional homes lining this marvelous avenue.

Goncalo,
your shots, compositions, PP are getting more and more sofisticated. It is really hard to choose a shot out of the galery to find something were you could do better. Everything looks so perfect. Wonderful inclusion of the lights in the left foreground.
Happy New Year!
Peter

Ola Goncalo
A fine view of Christmas lighting. Like the deep perspective & the contrast between warm & cold colours. The shine on the cobbled stones of the light is also attractive. Good work!
Um Abraco
