Hi dear TE friends

This is the second picture i made in Slokakia

I hope you like it

Have a nice weekend !

The St. Martin's Cathedral is a cathedral in Slovakia's capital, Bratislava. It is situated at the western border of the historical city center below Bratislava Castle. It is the largest and finest, as well as one of the oldest churches in Bratislava, known especially for previously being the coronation church of the Kingdom of Hungary. Currently, it is the cathedral of the Archdiocese of Bratislava. From 1995 to February 2008 it was the concathedral of the Archdiocese of Bratislava-Trnava.


Á direita podemos ver a Catedral de St. Martin’s

Há muitas igrejas em Bratislava mas esta é a mais conhecida. Nela foram coroados os antigos reis e rainhas da Hungria Entre 1563 e 1830, foram coraodos 11 reis e mais 8 rainhas.

A missa Solene de Beethoven foi tocada pela primeira vez aqui.

That's a very long boat! Wise choice of a wide angled panoramic format. Good color, sharpness, & reflections in the river. Tfs!

Superb wide view with lovely colours and textures. The colours too are well managed. The sight is nice and well seen. There's freshness and appeal and the way you have put it across to us.

Hello Aires,
Your composition is very interesting. I haven't seen such a long boat. The colors and frame are nice,
Best regards,
Tulay

Hi Aires,

Magical lights and tones.
Good composition, and fine details.
Enjoy the WE.

excellent composition in a clear and colorful atmosphere of this place of Croatia.The most i like is the sharpness and the clarity with a lot of details of your shot and the calmly environment that show us..The cruise boat is an eye catcher.Informative your note too.

Have a nice weekend,Danos

Olá Aires,
great colours in this city composition including the Danube and the ship on it. The clouded sky is a pleasant addition in that warm impression.

Hi Aires,
Good POV and framing, light and colors are excellent and sharpness is OK. The scene looks good and this boat is very long!
Greetings

Hello Aires.
A lovely composition with the church supebly placed. Well saturated colours and a beautiful light. I can't believe how long this boat is! The water looks like satin. The sky is very well captured, too. Marvellous scene and photo.

A beautiful view over the river to the other side where the church is very well placed on the right hand side of the composition. The light brings out the colours very nicely. The large boat looks great in the foreground. Very well done!

Olá Aires,
bien parece una fantástica postal de Bratislava, de gran calidad y técnica fotográfica.
La vista de la Catedral de St. Martines excelente y el imponente barco del primer plano parece no terminarse nunca. Hermoso paisaje sobre las calmadas aguas y una luminosidad excelente.

Parabéns,

Jordi

Hi Aires,

Lovely contrast in this picture. The traditional church with two modern elements in front. Both the bridge and the boat of huge length.

Groet Rob

Hi Aires,
Wonderfully shot and beautifully composed. The sharp details and the well balanced colors look absolutely superb.
Best regards. Salvator.

Oi Aires,
Parabéns pela belíssima foto. A gente passeia o olhar por toda a imagem e é mesmo de encher a vista, desde a colorida catedral até o barco. Isso tudo é um? Nem sem o que mais chama a atenção. Uma perfeição em foto.
Abraços e bom domingo.
Maria

Merhaba Aires,

Hi, Aires,

The cathedral looks very nice, but I think that this very long ships catches the eye more. It looks great! Nice colours

Hi Aires, beautiful picture with the boat concentrating the looks as a second theme. Nice framing and composition according to the rule of the thirds, strong colors and effective POV.

Hola Aires.

Una muy bonita foto si señor. Me encanta el contrapunto del barco,algo que yo no hubiera hecho.

Un saludo, Oscar

Olá Aires.
Bela foto desta catedral com este barco comprido nas margens do rio e misturando ainda o natural das árvores.
Gosto dos tons suaves no céu e destas nuvens 'gordas'.
Os reflexos no rio são interessantes mas, contudo, acho que nesta zona falta aqui qualquer coisa pois parece-me um pouco vazia.
Agora, e honestamente, tentei cortar um pouco em baixo e não resultava, em cima tambbém não, logo faltou mesmo alguma barco a passar ou outra coisa qualquer.
Um abraço.
Paulo

Oi amigo ,
Bonita foto rica em cores , o barco e muito bonito bem comprido com aqueles vidros,essa cidade é muito bela com essas igrejas , gostei do ponto de visão ,parabéns!!!

Olá Aires,
Que barco tão comprido! Que por sinal fica muito bem na compo, complementando a verticalidade daquela torre esguia que se reflecte difusamente no rio. A luz, cores e nitidez tb. estão estupendos, com uma ajuda daquele céu e nuvens.
Um abraço, José.

Hello Aires,

That is one long boat! Does it navigate the river? The view is beautiful with the church domitaing the landscape. The clarity and sharpness of the image are awesome. This does look like a beautiful place. Thanks Aires.

Magnífico contraste entre ese gran barco y su moderna construcción y el antiguo edificio de la catedral.
Preciosa toma con un bonito cielo y estupenda luz y colores.
Cordialmente
Charo

a very nice shot here Aires,
good pov and very nice contrast. I think that the composition was better without she big ship, but that my personal opinion, good photojob anyway.
gr. jaap

Olá Aires. Excelente ponto de vista (tal como a anterior). A catedral, imponente não é abafada pelo enorme barco. Céu maravilhoso. Parabéns. Paulo

Olá Aires,

I am very happy to see this image, the first photograph I've seen of Bratislava, although I had heard of the city before. Recently, my book on Leonardo appeared in two new languages — Slovak and Czech — and published in Bratislava. I did not know they were separate languages until recently. This is a beautifully composed image, with ideal lighting. The note is also very informative.

Um abraço,

Bulent

Bonjour Aires
Très agréable la t° de couleur de ce cliché.Tout est beau dans cette image.Bravo pour cette très jolie réalisation et bonne soirée.
Amicalement
Gildas

Olá Aires,
Lindas cores, uma imagem muito agradável e uma nota muito instrutiva.
O céu está belíssimo também.
Obrigada por partilhar,
MCV

I really appreciate your composition because of the set of lights and shades, your amazing perspective including the ship and the church.
Best wishes,
Achim

Superb cityscape, I like the vivid colors and the light. The shining river, the church with its tower, the red-roofed houses, the long boat, the hill and the green trees compose a lovely scene.

TFS and a nice week to you too !
Andreea

Hello Aires,
A beautiful church, well lit by the warm afternoon sun!
The image is well composed with fine details, the sky is attractive and light reflects well off the river...
But I think the l-o-n-g sightseeing ship is a good #2 attention magnet!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hola Aires, beutiful composition with lovely church and very long battle, splendid colors and fascinating reflections, superb sky, very well done, ciao Silvio

Bonjour, cher Aires,
Je ne sais pas si je suis impressionné par la longueur du bateau ou par la beauté de l'église, dans le doute, je prends le tout ! ;o)
Une photographie très bien réalisée avec des détails et des couleurs étonnants.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Aires,
Quite a long boat this one ... must be hard to turn around. Lovely scene and wonderfully captured. Image and color quality is also good. I like the overall contrast too. Well composed! tfs

Hello Aires,

This is the first time that I see, this long type of boat.
Very well composition and splendid colours.
The church and the boat are the real eye catcher of this lovely picture.
Very well done, thanks for sharing.

Best regards,
John.

Olá Aires,
que barco comprido esse hein, deve ser difícil manobrá-lo, me chamou mais a atenção que a Igreja, que é muito bonita por sinal.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Hello Aires,
I worship the plasticity of Your photographs. I worship the light, which You charm into being in Your own photographic pictures. I worship colours, which You paint Your own images. The photograph is a great art, and her definition one can succeed in finding also in Your photos. Beautiful composition, superb framing, uncommon colouring and lights - splendid quality.

Nice rich colours in this shot thanks to the beautiful lighting. That's one hell of a boat and you've done well to fit it all in to your frame. Well done.
Best wishes

Hi Aires
Nice place and lovely capture with the warm colours.

Olá Aires,
Muito bonita esta vista da Catedral de St. Martin.
E este barco tão comprido dá bastante vida à composição.
Adoro esta luminisidade de final de terde.
