Bona nit Gonçalo,
impressive approach to show to us to the beauty and magnitude of the architecture.
Image of great vertigo! The contrast of colors is sensational, the grayish ones of the facade of the basilica resist with the bluish tonalities of the statue and reflections in crystals of him vault. Image of great beauty and a worthy artistic treasure of admiration!

Salut, Jordi

Hi Goncalo,
Wonderful prespective catches the blue saint looking down as we look up at the beautiful marble columns seen in excellent detail and the magnificent window catching a stunning reflection of the deep blue sky. Wonderful colors and sharpness to this fine composition.
Regards, Tom

Olá Gonçalo, a luz nesta é estranha mas que combina bem com o tema. Gosto bastante do POV e composição apertada. A imagem trasmite um ambiente santificado sem dúvida.
Um grande abraço,
ricardo

Interesting pov and realization, despite a strange (almost dark) light. The symmetry is perfect and the pov makes it a little abtract in a certain way. That's OK to me.

Olá Gonçalo,
Bonita esta composição, o pov escolhido dá mesmo realce á santa encimada pela enorme rosácea da basílica. Acho que gostaria de ver as cores 1 pouquito mais escuras...
Bom trabalho, Daniel

Great composition and pov for this lovely architecture view. Very sharp details in contrast texture to bring out fine craftmanship of work. I like this low angle shot. TFS, well done.

Olá Gonçalo,
É estranho como a falta de contraste e o excesso de azul (que talvez pareça mais exagerado do que é na realidade) resultam tão bem. O enquadramento apertado e impecavelmente simétrico está divinal (este adjectivo parece-me especialmente adequado ao assunto).
Um abraço, José.

isabela_sor (42020) 2008-01-08 3:22

The low POV and the details are very good
The blue adds a lot ...
Good symmetry

Bonjour Goncalo,
une contreplongée très interssante qui donne de l'allure à cette majestueuse et non moins impressionnante bâtisse.
Une photo nette dans laquelle le connaisseur pourra étudier dans les détails, tout l'art architecturel ici.
Best regards.
Daniel.
