I like the Rua da Madeira shot, very nice. In terms of technique I notice a slight double streak in the sky area and also the verticals are not totally aligned.

You're right about the verticals, of course. And now that I look at it that way, I wonder if there's not a little tilt to the photo as well.

About the double streak, those are actually clouds/contrails in the sky. I thought since they run "into the shot" they would fit in. Now that you've compared them to development streaks I had to go back to another shot I took in the same place, with a similar composition and check: they were there in the same position in the sky . So they are not artefacts.

All the best,

Alexandre

Another fantastic shot vitality. Your color images of Latvia are always stunning.

That red/pink is unreal.

Working on this print, might make it a panoramic shot, not sure yet.

I'll second that panoramic crop: there is some grass and some sky that contribute nothing to the image.

Reminds me of Matt Alofs' Robot Overlords series... evidently even Robot Overlords can get beaten up sometimes!

Thanks, I had not thought of trails in the sky, makes sense now. I still like the shot on second look, well done.
