Multicolored Bahia, a photo from Bahia, Northeast

Photographer's Note

Largo do Pelourinho, Salvador, Bahia.
It is a street located in the heart of the oldest part of the city of Salvador. It is so named because it was, for many years, a place of punishment where convicts were exposed, tied to the pillory, in the eyes of passersby and public execration.

These brightly coloured certainly catch the eye and make a great subject. I like that you included a few people in the shot. They bring life to the composition without distracting attention from the street scene itself.

Hello Leonor,
They are most attractive these multi-coloured fa鏰des. I like the oblique framing and the use of the twin church towers as a contrasting focal point. Also, the animated atmosphere. The light is excellent as are colours and sharpness.

I also like the colourful facades of these buildings. Good sharpness and the people add scale and context. I may have boosted saturation a little. I like the symmetry of the 2 bg towers at right, The downward slope and pov add interest. Tfs!

Hola Leonor.
Maravillosa esta sucesion de fachadas, con este hermoso arco iris de colores, que dan una imagen muy vital y alegre, buena perspectiva con las torres de la iglesia al fondo.
Un bonito dia de sol que da fuerza a este esplendido colorido.
Muy bien gestionadas tanto la luminosidad, como la magn韋ica nitidez.
Te deseo un feliz dia.
Un abrazo.
Luis.
