Meeting at the Pla軋 Catalunya, a photo from Barcelona, Catalonia

Photographer's Note

Pla軋 de Catalunya is a large square in central Barcelona that is generally considered to be both its city centre and the place where the old city and the 19th century-built Eixample meet. The plaza occupies an area of about 50,000 square metres. It is especially known for its fountains and statues, its proximity to some of Barcelona's most popular attractions. Source: Wikipedia

Hello Malgorzata,
A very pleasant atmosphere to this well crafted image. Perfectly framed and exposed. Lovely warm light and interesting shadow play. Well observed and beautifully executed.

Hi Malgorzata,
una bella immagine ben movimentata dagli spruzzi d'acqua e animata dalla presenza umana.
Bella la luce soft che avvolge la scena.

Well done!
Francesco

Witaj Małgorzato,
przyznam szczerze,ze Placa Catalunya nie jest moim ulubionym placem w Barcelonie.Jak dla mnie jest zbyt duży(wole np.Placa Espanya).
Natomiast twoja kompozycja podoba mi się bardzo.To pierwsze zdjęcie z tego placu,ktore nie jest zbyt ogolne i uchwyca świetnie swego rodzaju intymny nastroj tej sceny.Na pewno pomaga w tym bardzo piękne,ciepłe światło,ktore dodaje tutaj zdecydowanie uroku.Do tego swietny kadr.
Pozdrawiam serdecznie
Krzysiek

Bonjour Malgorzata,

J'aime beaucoup cette petite intrusion dans l'intimit� de ces deux dames pr鑚 de la fontaine. Le moment est beau ainsi que la lumi鑽e qui frappe les jets d'eau.

Amicalement

Ciao Malgo
la composizione mi piace molto e mi ha colpito la differenza tra la statua, una donna con bambino, con le due ragazze ancora giovani, che probabilmente in futuro avranno figli.
Saluti

Hi dear Malgorzata

Another wonderful and so tasteful image! Yes this is your work and your own work, I am sure. That reflect your high inspiration and high sense. Best and marvelous combination of each components. Two lady's action is so lovely. Strong sun light adds better atmosphere too. Top quality shot as usual. Thanks for your sharing and have a good weekend!

Jolie composition avec une int駻essante lumi鑽e soulignant les 駘駑ents forts de l'image, la statue, la fille en jupe rose et le jet d'eau.

Hello Malgorzata.
A delightful and very elegant photo. Of course, the gentle light falling on the statue and the girl, contributes to the tranquility of this scene in what is usually a crowded and busy plaza. Lovely interplay of light and shadow, and a fine backdrop achieved by your very thoughtful choice of viewpoint, and no doubt your cropping. I like the subdued tones and controlled contrast. Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

Good evening Malgorzata,
A nice moment take, conbined with the backdrop of water-jets from the known fontana, and beautiful statue of mother and child.
Young ladies love to chat... interesting to know what about..., and there was fine golden light on the one in left side.
A very nice idea, well shown image.

Hi Malgo

I missed this confident moment, sheltered from the sun by a statue seeming to try to hear their voices.
Good everyday situation few of us will notice.
Cheers

Malgo, thank you so very much for your kind words and keeping me and my family in your thoughts and prayers. As I try to get back into the mix of things here on TE, I read the critiques of my last two photos and find it very hard holding back tears. It's nice to have an extended family that hasn't even met me before, which makes you all even that more special to me.

Beautiful POV with gorgeous lighting and with perfect clarity, great presentation Malgo!!

TFS........Your Friend from California........Buddy
