Hola Daniel,
At the very first moment I saw this picture I knew it was Calatrava´s work of art,almost the same style we have in Valencia
and I must say I´m a big "admirador" of this genius man.Great shot!

hello Daniel,
excellent composition to show this interesting architecture, the curve of the roof against the blue sky does look like a gian wave, I like it a lot. but it feels something was wrong with the focusing, or may be it's the heavy compression (the file is less than 78Kb) that has made the image look a little muddy with artefacts around the edge of the roof. it's a pitty, because otherwise the shot is very nice.

regards,
Kristine
