The one with the granny out the window (#3) that's a classic..

Hi Goran,
Really nice, especially # 2,3,4. I was a little distracted in #1. The skirts hanging on the RHS seem to be in focus but the men in the background seem not to be. This might have been your intention but to me the centre of interest is the group of figures and to my mind it would have been better for them to be in focus at the expense of the skirts.
The next two shots - the laneway with the bicycle and the lady peering down from her window are absolute crackers! Well done.

Bressonesque.

Congratulations Goran.

i like #3 - shame about the blown part at the top(crop?).

I don't have any issues with the overexposed part at the top of the shot.

I love #3, congrats!

I love Rovinj and your pictures are very nice and capture the mood of the town quite well.

PS: I'm not used to this kind of blown highlights, at first it even felt distracting, but after a little looking at the pictures, I got used to it.

I think the photos have a vintage feel to them - they look like they could have been taken when the M3 was new. Very well suited to the subject.

Great shots!

hy..thx for your comments.....on photos #3 that overexposed part is there because that granny is shooted between to high old buildings a and it was noon so light on the top of buildings was very strong...in the bottom of the buildings was not much light

#2, #3 & #5 are my favorites. I also was frustrated with the blown highlights, but agree that it takes nothing away from the photos. In fact, after reviewing the set, I like the highlights uncontrolled. Gives a very hard, hot and raw feeling to the images.

Thanks for sharing!

my favorite is pic 3, but also the others are nice to look at!

Rovinj is a beautiful little town, I managed to spend a day shooting there six years ago whilst a friend I was visiting worked in the region. Controlling the highlights whilst allowing for shadow detail is tough under such conditions and sometimes you just have to prioritise what's important in each shot.

Some nice shots, the hanging washing is my personal favourite

 

[begona]

thank you guys

Thank you! What a wonderful experience, I felt as if I was there, and that is the essence of photography. What a lovely small town too, feels very nostalgic.

I quite like them, lots of character. I judge pictures by feel and these have a great feeling. Congrats.

Tonys is right -- Bressonesque for sure. Really fine classic street photography, for which there is nothing better than an M3!

I like the moments you chose to capture. It can be hard to avoid cliché in a situation like that but you clearly engaged your subjects, and that always separates the tourists from the photographers.

You need to work on your technique in order to tame those highlights. Sorry to disagree but they *are* distracting and they do take away from good photographs.
