The Sky it's the Limit Photo

Photographer’s Note

Picture taken in the little village i live (Alcochete). This village it's near Lisbon, on the other side of Tagus River.

The pillory at a county´s chief town was always an extremely importante site, for it was there that justice was made in public and that the convicts destiny was decided.

The pillory have been rebuild in 1955 by the local autority, and the older one it's now in the village museum.

I'm also posting a workshop on this one with the 4 faces of the base of the pillory and their inscriptions

Excelente céu e bom uso do flash. A composição está bem pensada com o pelourinho descentrado. Penso que um enquadramento vertical resultava bem, pois mantinha a mesma ideia desta composição mas valorizava mais o pelourinho.

Belas cores nesta fotografia, e um optimo contraste entre o pelourinho e o ceu. Concordo que este foi um bom uso do flash, mas nao sei se uma composicao vertical seria possivel sem adicionar outros elementos e desse modo distrair a vista do ceu
