a post treatment which gives the dynamic colors, framing ideas!
Five stars, for me!
friendships!

@marc battault: I thought going black and white, but there was too much going on for that. The mix of old and very old in the downtown area is impressive and fun to photograph --when one can do so safely. Thanks for the five stars, Marc! Amistad!

dj.tigersprout from New York City, United States

excellent color and visual description!! is this hdr? wonderful subjeect matter!! and in COLOR!! :)

@dj.tigersprout: Sorry for delayed reply. I have been busy setting up my new photoblog at wordpress on my free time. Anyhow, this is not HDR. I simply pushed curves to increase contrast and since sharpening is all about luminosity, I pushed it 50% and 50 radius with 0 threshold, but in LAB. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Marie from FRESNES, France

superbes matières !

joshi daniel from India

a really nice street shot!

@joshi daniel: I love this sort of grittiness and wish I could get out to shoot more of it. But it's in the more dangerous parts of the city and carrying a camera around these days is quite risky.

romine from bucharest, Romania

excellent. lots of beautiful details hidden in this one. well done

@romine: This construction goes way back to the Spanish conquest and is situated behind the equivalent to Mexico's presidential White House. There is a lot of history here.
