Igreja do Carmo Photo

Photographer’s Note

The remainings of the Igreja do Carmo in Lisbon (old church) are quite impressive as the walls seem to elevate themselves in the blue sky. The earthquake of 1755 almost destroyed this beautiful church which was never restaured.

I found this needs a little CW rotation. Also if you reduce the brightness around -23 and incerease the contast a little, it will looks better. I tried to clean up the noise, with NI but its too soft and will lost a little on the walls details which is i dont like. That's why i didnt post as workshop.

Hi Vanessa,
Very luminous shot with nice curves. Those ruins seems to be very interresthing.

Hi Vanessa,
your pic is a little brighter than ideal, IMO, but the perspective is very good. I like it.
Regards,
Beijo

I enjoy the contrast in this one. Those ruins of old have lots of stories to tell...always interesting that they were left to stand and never restored. But that is the beauty. A lot of history of a great architechural work. Well done.
