This is a great shot of an interesting place, I never made it to the Dominican capital but this shot has shown a different side of the city that I didn't expect.

Bonsoir, mon bon ami Emile,
Félicitations pour avoir réussi une telle prise de vue avec des moyens rudimentaires qui peuvent se révéler fort utiles, la preuve !
Le sujet est très intéressant et bien mis en valeur. J'aime ces couleurs qui donnent à la composition un monde venu d'ailleurs.
Very well done.
Amitiés.

Hola fiera.

Me encantan la luz y el tratamiento que le das para tener esos detalles de camino a casa. La lástima es que el árbol de la derecha no esté entero pero bueno, otra vez será.

Cuidate!

Bonsoir Emile,
Très bien réussie cette prise de vue, l'éclairage est superbe et beau contraste entre le temple et le magnifique ciel nuageux. J'aime beaucoup la rangée de palmier en avant-plan et surtout l'éclairage de l'arbre à gauche.
Félicitations!... et bonne fin de soirée,
Emilius

Hola Emile:

¡Cuánto tiempo sin pasar por aquí!

Me gusta la foto, pienso que has conseguido una imagen muy redonda, con buenos colores, definición y sobre todo un buen control de la luz, el cuanto el encuadre me parece muy interesante con ese fondo oscuro de nubes que hace que el Templo destaque aún más, sobre lo que comenta Oscar del árbol pienso en este caso no es nada importante porque el protagonismo de la composición es del elegante templo Mormón.

Felicidades amigo y hasta pronto.

Saludos.

Hola Emile,

Interesante ver un templo Mormon de este calibre en Santo Domingo pues no me imaginaba que ellos tuvieran tantos feligreses en la RD. El edificio es muy bonito y las luces le dan mas realce a sus detalles. Es interesante tambien como los Mormones generalmente construyen sus templos en upscale barrios...Hay alguna sinagoga en Santo Domingo? Gracias amigo.

Hi Emile

Superb shsrpness & graphism, with a dramatic sky as a backdrop. Good colour & upward pov, on this unsually shaped church. Tfs!

Hello Emile,
This is a fine piece of modern church (temple) architecture, with a well visible influence from the past!
A pleasant composition with good details, fine balance and good colour palette...

Excellent shot Emile. The sky is very dramatic and makes an interesting background. The lighting on both the trees and the building is superb. Good use of the fence as a tripod. :)
Well done

Hola Emile,
These are nice light conditions, especially the cloud turned light purple gives it an original and strong background. Good result for an image taken without tripod and the large aperture is not perceptible at this TE size.
Have a nice day JY

Hola, mi amigo Emile.
otra vez has hecho un buen trabajo en una foto espontánea, y has tenido buenos recursos para solventar la falta de trípode, consiguiendo un gran exposición y mucha calidad de imagen nocturna gracias al apoyo sobre una valla y a contener la respiración unos instantes.
El encuadre es elegante y nos ofrece una bonita perspectiva de esta iglesia, cuya geometría de líneas y volúmenes es muy interesante, y junto a la vegetación y el cielo que la rodean, forman una composición muy atractiva.
Buena foto, me gusta.
Un fuerte abrazo desde Barcelona,
Josep

Hello Emile,

I like the enlightenment from the Mormon Temple.
Also the extraordinarily cloud to the sky, make this picture very impressive.
The red colour in the tree are very nice.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Hi Emile,
there are a lot of evangelistic churches in the Carribbean, I noticed again this year in Jamaica.
I think in the DR the Roman catholic church is still the major one?
Fine nightshot of this impressive modern church surrounde by palms under a great sky.

Hola Emile,
Bit dark in the foreground, but that soft purple light along the foorpath is very good, just as the light on the tree. The dark silhouettes in front of the temple work pretty good, just as the light on the temple itself is one of the best parts of the image. Of course that purple toning sky brings out colour and contrast to the image and has some good detail inside...very nice.

La exposicion esta perfecta. La composicion esta muy balanceada entre las nubes y el arbol. Muy bien visto.

Mi unica critica ees que la imagen parece estar un over-sharpen. Te recomendaria que uses el Smart-Sharpen para mejor control.

Un saludo,
Enrique

Hi Emile,
Very good photo of this temple, that is very nicely illuminated and stands nicely out against the purple cloud in the background. The composition is good too with a nice inclusion of the reddish tree on the right hand side. Good night photography without a tripod!

I don't think i ever saw a Mormon temple before, i tought they were just around Salt Lake City, and US! Strange architecture too, with something of a minaret in this belltower.
Interesting

Hi Emile,

Remarkable picture. I can understand that this scene called your intention.
The illuminated building is contrasting striking against the sky and also the red tree in the right is a surprising object in the composition.

Hola Emile,
me han sorprendido gratamente varios detalles de la excelente fotografía, a parte de la gran definición de imagen, la gran iluminación y el acertado POV.
Los detalles a los que me refiero son, por un lado, la estructura arquitectónica bien curiosa y peculiar del templo ( parece realizada como una construcción típica de juguetes de los niños, como un Lego ). Por otro lado, el cielo tan enrarecido pero que muestra un anhelo de despejarse i finalmente, la solemne presencia del templo bajo ese cielo y alrededor de la iluminación parece tener una presencia prácticamente divina.
Un fenomenal trabajo Emile!

Un fuerte abrazo,

Jordi

Hello Emile,

An excellent shot of the Mormon Shrine in Santo Domingo. Around the Washington Beltway (on the Maryland side) there is an extraordinary edifice built as the Mormon Shrine — and like this one, it appears to reach higher and higher, accentuating a sense of verticality. You've chosen a very good vantage point to further accentuate that atmosphere.

Warm regards, Emile, have a good week.

Hi Emile,
What an interesting shot with a beautifully lit temple against the threatening sky. The contrast work perfectly to create a strong impact and make this shot very attractive. Your right timing and quick respond to the opportunity must be commended. Brilliant shot!!

All the best.

Hola Emile,
Eh andado distraído con tu galería. Esta se me escapó. Esta preciosa. El PdV, la arquitectura, la mezcla de la iluminación artificial con la luz de fin de dia y el ese cielo tan dramático, producen una atmósfera que tiene algo de glorioso y místico que va muy bien con una iglesia. No entiendo nada de Arquitectura, pero me hace lembrar una mezquita, por lo menos la torre.
Un fuerte abrazo, José.
