[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a Picture of "La Constancia" church. La Constancía was a fabric factory of 150 years old in the colonial city of Puebla. Now it's almost a ruin but people still used the church for the mass.
On the picture you can see the factory style church an in the left part, departments of the workers.
There's a plan to restore this very nice place.
The lay down sun and the heavy cloud done a very original light and yellow and white monument help me.

Best regards.

slt Jerome,
de telles couleurs! ça sent bon le mexique,tu as bien tiré partie d'une lumière un peu dure.

Hi Jerome,
The yellow of the building against the dramatic grey cloud and blue sky looks fantastic. Excellent photo, thank you so much for sharing.
Cheers,
Debbie

Very dramatic shot, with the sun on the brightly coloured buildings and the dark sky behind that. The sky makes the buildings look even brighter. Well done!

Hey Jerome,
Primaries are visually striking and always make great photographs. Here you made colour compartments, like a puzzle, and took an attempt to come up with a good composition. Though you may have repositioned youreself many times here to avoid those unwanted trees, the coloures gave it a punch and this makes your image work!
Take Care :)

Hi Jerome,

Nice colors and contrasts. Very sharp. Really menacing clouds. Well done.

Jerónimo...una imagen muy cautivante: evocativo lugar y qué suerte con las nubes/cielo azul y contraste con los otros colores...Muy Buena, Gracias por compartir !
Saludos, Robert

Jolie composition Jerôme à un détail près : est-ce que les couleurs ne sont un peu trop saturées ? Ces temps-ci j'éprouve le même genre de problème, à savoir, comment bien doser la saturation des couleurs et éviter le bruit ou les couleurs fluos :)

Laisser une large place au ciel et à ce nuage gris noir est une bonne idée et même si on ne voit pas l'église dans son intégralité, son charme semble intact. La lumière est bonne, selon moi. J'aurais peut-être découpé un peu la partie gauche, avec cette ombre gênante ou pour le moins peu utile.

Hola Gerome;
Me hubiese gustado ver el edificio blanco, creoq ue es la iglesia, y no entendi, pusiste la palabra fabric y luego factory, pero no se si fue una fabrica o es una iglesia, o esa iglesia fue hecha por los duenos de la fabrica.

Bueno enfin no es muy importante, me gustan los colores contrastantes, asi como, la bunes obscuras en contrste tamebine de el sol que ilumina parte de la foto, parece que aproposito quisiste ensenar solo la mitad de las cosas como el punto medio, o los contrastes, no se pero tiene significado y es muy buna tu foto.

Gracias y hablando de lo del viaje cuanod gustes, como se dice en mexico a qui tienes tu humilde casa, cuando gustes venir a Baja, vale? ya sabes que eres bienvenido.

Hasta pronto

Elias

Hi Jeronimo

Me gusta mucho los contraste fuerte y colores de los edificios en combinación con este dramatico cielo.
Buen trabajo

Belle couleurs typiquement mexicaines. C'est une belle composition où se mêlent des tons très forts.
Très content d'avoir pu admirer cette photo.
Amitiés
Pierre-André

impressionnante, la lumière ! Jolies couleurs aussi.

Scaring and dramatic, Reminds me on Mulholland Drive( by D. Lynch) somehow.

Hello Jerome,

Splendid, dramatic shot. High contrasted façade colors with dark blue sky, black clouds created great scene here. Very well managed. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Parbo
