Hello Costantino,
The wet stones shine quite nicely and you captured a pleasant view down the street, Two young persons are well included in the foreground where they fill the area perfectly. The colours and clarity of the photo are very good despite the dull weather.
Best regards,

Hi Costantino,
The street names are in German. I wonder whether it means this region has quite rich German past?
The rainy weather didn't stop you from exploring the area and recording an interesring reportage for us.
I have never been to this part of the Europe.

Hello dear Costantino.
A magnificent perspective of this street in Metz, which indeed has some nice houses to also capture details, as I like. The day with the wet ground and the people well dressed makes one think of a cold day.
Good coloring and sharpness, together with an optimal lighting.
Well done. I like it.
Have a nice day. Kind regards.
Luis.
P/D.I will explain a little about your question about the typical house. : Santana, is famous for its typical thatched roof houses, rectangular buildings that have the shape of an inverted V, where the roof generally touches the ground. Usually the houses have two floors, a ground floor and a loft, made of stone blocks joined with a rustic masonry work, with a ribbed roof.
These typical houses but from bygone times, were generally used by farmers, internally they had all the basics.

Hi Costantino,
Looking at the date when the photo was taken I see that you started to travel after lockdowns. Although November is not the best month to travel in Europe due to the weather but the photo is successful in these difficult conditions.
Good shot in long perspective of the street with people doing their dally tasks.
Best regards,
Zbigniew
