bristol view VI, a photo from Bristol, England

Photographer's Note

ristol view VI
Bristol (/ˈbrɪstəl/ (About this sound listen)) is a city and county[4] in South West England with a population of 459,300.[5] The wider district has the 10th-largest population in England.[6] The urban area population of 724,000 is the 8th-largest in the UK.[2] The city borders North Somerset and South Gloucestershire, with the cities of Bath and Gloucester to the south-east and north-east, respectively. South Wales lies across the Severn estuary.

Iron Age hill forts and Roman villas were built near the confluence of the rivers Frome and Avon, and around the beginning of the 11th century the settlement was known as Brycgstow (Old English "the place at the bridge"). Bristol received a royal charter in 1155 and was historically divided between Gloucestershire and Somerset until 1373, when it became a county of itself. From the 13th to the 18th century, Bristol was among the top three English cities after London in tax receipts. Bristol was surpassed by the rapid rise of Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool in the Industrial Revolution.

Bristol was a starting place for early voyages of exploration to the New World. On a ship out of Bristol in 1497 John Cabot, a Venetian, became the first European since the Vikings to land on mainland North America. In 1499 William Weston, a Bristol merchant, was the first Englishman to lead an exploration to North America. At the height of the Bristol slave trade, from 1700 to 1807, more than 2,000 slave ships carried an estimated 500,000 people from Africa to slavery in the Americas. The Port of Bristol has since moved from Bristol Harbour in the city centre to the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth and Royal Portbury Dock.

Hello Costantino,
The church tower is well positioned and nicely framed by tree and lamps. I like the presence of the people who contribute to the mood along with the light and shadow contrasts, though it would be nice if there were more detail visible in the shadow areas. Very good sharpness.

Bonjour, cher Costantino,
Une mise en image très originale jouant avec subtilité entre l'ombre et la lumière.
L'ensemble se regarde avec intérêt.
Merci pour la note.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Costantino
There's nothing much to show off apart from the evening light and silhouettes. Anyway it's a decent shot satisfying your expectations.
Bet regards

Hello Costantino,
It's a nice view and there is nothing wrong with the composition. The tower is beautiful and the woman is nicely placed. But something went wrong in the processing of the photo, so I made a WS. I hope you won't mind.
Kind regards,
Gert

Ciao Costantino,questa è una foto molto artistica,con lo stile che ricorda i tuoi tramonti. Un grande controluce davvero nitidissimo,ben giocato con la silhouette della torre,le lunghe ombre ed i capelli della ragazza. Complimenti e buona serata,Luciano

Hello Costantino,
Very interesting, brave venture, beautiful photo. On the edge. The sun on the hair, the stride of the woman, the sidewalk and grass colors. And the perfect light from the lamp post. Sometimes we give up light in one area to emphasize the more beautiful aspect. Bravo. tfs
Regards, John

Hello Costantino,
A wonderfully atmospheric photo of this lady with long hair walking in the last sunrays of the day. The beautiful photo could still gain some sharpness if you gave him some more pixels.
Well done!
Have a nice day. Groet Rob

Hi Costantino
just my opinion, but I prefer the main post with the Cathedral in silhouette. It has more atmosphere and mood this way, what do you think? and I like how the woman's hair has captured the light, thats a nice addition :) cheers

Hi Costantino,
although I live in the UK since over 6 years now I have never been to this lovely town. This cathedral looks very impressive.
You have well used it as a silhouette here for the sort of photography of which you are the master.
Nice play of the strong light and strong shadow makes a great impression here.
Very well done,
M

Kalimera Costantino,
Long and low afternoon shadows had created a unique outcome to the picture.
Still had enough light to show good details of the cathedral and the park in front.
The blond lady had a precise glow of light on hair.
Best regards,
Ike
