Vertical Calatrava Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Torre de Calatrava was built just before the 1992 Olympic games as a communications tower for broadcasting the games to the world, there is a resemblance with the Olympic Torch, doesn't it?

It stands 616 feet (188 meters) tall and was designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava (hence the name) who is known for his elegantly engineered bridges. Despite strong resistance from his peers, the communications tower was erected and the result is quite stunning.

Hi Joana!
I lkike the way you framed the Calatrava's sculpture! There are two subjects, the poles in perspective, and the sculpture itself.
A useful note too!!
Ciao!!

Its a nice shot but technically it lags some thing. I had to look at it for some time to find out there is some thing except those poles. Maybe you have put the subject too much in center with very little contrast difference with the sky.
The note here was really useful otherwise I would have never known about this :)
