Hello Alexandre,
Great view of this church and its many appealing details, which stand out from the white walls. The building is very nicely framed by the four palm trees. The soft light is fine as well.

Hello Alexandre,
I like the symmetrical frame and the use of the trees to guide the viewer towards the church, whose faзade does not lack charm. Well exposed with agreeable colours and the beautifully rendered decorative detail.

Interesting and beautiful view, good text ...
A beautifully displayed place and old architecture, good contrast and perspective, nice colors, a beautifully caught moment with the clouds that come. Nice place with trees and facades, beautiful church.
I wish you a beautiful and successful day, all the best.

josepmarin (59385) 2018-02-07 4:09

Olб Alexandre,
ya sabes que me gusta mucho la arquitectura colonial, tiene mucho carбcter y una elegancia heredada de otros paнses. Como en este caso, en el que podemos admirar en tu foto la belleza de la iglesia y sus detalles arquitectуnicos y ornamentales, mediante un encuadre centrado con buena simetrнa.
Las palmeras crean un marco que envuelve esta bella iglesia, y las nubes decoran un cielo azul fantбstico.
Todo funciona a la perfecciуn en tu composiciуn, gran trabajo, amigo.
Um abraзo,
Josep

Un cadrage classique mais toujours trиs efficace, surtout lorsque le sujet est aussi beau ainsi que son environnement de beaux palmiers. Quel beau ciel en arriиre plan.

The church is very attractive and you framed the view well with the trees. The composition has a perfect symmetry and is very well exposed. It has an excellent clarity and also a great view of the clouds which provide a magnificent background to the church.
Kind regards,

й de fato uma igreja icфnica do nosso barroco. linda esta vista clбssica com as palmeiras imperiais emoldurando a fachada. SJ del Rei foi a primeira cidade histуrica que visitei.

Ola Alexandre,
Placed the chuirch edifice right through the tall palm trees "boulevard", with good details shown.
Said already times before: a Portuguese style-design par-excellence.
Bom novo dia,
Ike

danos (110407) 2018-02-08 23:07

Ola Alexandre,
nice the view of the IPHAN with its colonial architecture to be the eye catching of the image.The two palm trees crate a frame around it with the impressive backdrop to enhance even more the beauty of it.

Hello Alexandre,

You have framed the church well with the f/g trees so that they act as a natural guide to this fine rococo church. It looks to be in excellent repair from your sharp exposure, obviously much appreciated in the locality.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hola Alexandre.
Una preciosa fachada, con esta original forma redondeada, muchos elementos decorativos, combinando la piedra, con el estucado en blanco, ideal el entorno de las palmeras, un bello cielo que es un gran complemento a la bella imagen.
Magnнfico color, lo cual da mucha fuerza a la imagen.
Muy buena la luminosidad y perfecta nitidez.
Buen POV. Me gusta mucho.
Que tengas un buen dia.
Saludos muy cordiales.

Hello Alexandre,

Beautiful composition with this small church in the typical Portuguese colonial style, excellent symmetry, nice framing with the palms. Lovely colours.

Kind regards Malgo

ChrisJ (171852) 2018-02-16 6:37

Hello Alexandre,

The evenly spaced palm trees give this shot a lot of good symmetry. Excellent sharpness and the dark trees against the white clouds add a graphic element. TFS!

clic (76) 2018-02-21 15:22

Ola Alexandre Due to focal distortion, these tall palmtrees at foreground bend toward the Rococo-style church as a mark of respect for its elaborate exotic design captured with a well-controlled mastery. Abraзos

LuisGustavoLima (5184) 2018-02-22 8:33

Oi, Alexandre!

Foto bonita dessa igreja, o ponto de vista foi bem escolhido. Altas altas palmeiras enquadram bem a igreja. O contraste a luz sгo уtimos tambйm.

Olб Alexandre

Linda foto desta igreja, marco histуrico de uma regiгo rica de "produtos" da terra e de cultura. A arquitetura й, sem dъvida, uma das artes que mais marca a riqueza e o progresso de um povo ou regiгo. E essa arquitetura й simplesmente maravilhosa.
Bom enquadramento, excelente plano e luz. Trabalho incrнvel.
Obrigada por partilhar paisagens e monumentos deslumbrantes. Assim, podemos conhecer um pedacinho desse paraнso.
Cumprimentos,
Maria

Belнssima composiзгo, excelente o enquadramento. Talvez retirasse com crop de imagem o caule da direita. Belнssima luminosidade. Saudaзхes fotogrбficas.
