bonita foto
A igreja é bem diferente das históricas aqui do sul, que sao uns negócio bem colorido de arquitetura açoriana.
Acho até que o aspecto meio degradado dela, com os pedaço descascado, acresentam ao charme e dão mais autenticidade. As vezes esbarro em prédios históricos reformados e acho eles uma bosta, de um artificialismo gritante
Botuverá fica umas 4 horas de carro de floripa

I liked the contrast between the lit buildings and the darker one, which acquired a certain sinister tone. Interesting to think that such a photo could only be done at the time you took it, because if it was totally night that unlit church(?) wouldn't appear so well

the homeless I'm used to seeing are often alone or separated, in more isolated places. What strikes me here is all these people together, in the middle of the pavement. The blurred movement in the background works in many levels... in a formal one (the composition looks more interesting), informational (discomfort from noise and danger related to nearby traffic) and possibly also symbolic meanings (progress and technology rushing by oblivious of the poor?).

again, nice high-exposure experimentation.
The bright white line escaping from the foreground, hinting at a car which we don't see, is very interesting.
I would have cropped out a bit of the sky though, or maybe framed more of the road.

Great view. I liked colors and reflection.

I've done a workshop to try to bring out more of the colors, hope you like it. Bye

Good composition, filling up the frame with grass, with the person in a strong point wearing a complementary color.
It would be nice if you explained what sort of processing you did to get the grass that way. I find photographing grass a bit difficult, because it either calls too much attention or it looks weird. I usually do a gaussian blur overlay and mask out whatever isn't grass.
TFS, bye

fantastic atmosphere. I think your option for removing the colors was a good one, it helps set the mood. The important is the light and the mist, the colors were thus only distracting and didn't add to the melancholy of the landscape.

bela foto de Canasvieiras. Tenho uma casa em ponta-das-canas, que é uma espécie de continuação dela.
Gostei da forma como tu valorizou o céu, as formações de nuvens e a luz amarela ficaram muito boas. Não me toquei de que havia um tema para as praias de floripa.. vou ver se contribuo pra ele também.
valeu, falô

nice silhouette, interesting clouds. Why upload so small though?
The man in the picture is a nice bonus, he adds meaning to it

interesting place - the stained walls, peeling statues and general emptiness give a kind of decadent charm to it.

I also liked the note, the info on the flooding for naval battles is a great curiosity.
Formally speaking, the picture seems a little bit sliding to the left, maybe a light clockwise rotation would give it more balance
