San Luis Cathedral Frontispice Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a detail of the Catholic Cathedral in the city of San Luis, an exceptional neoclassic architectural testimony started in 1883 and finished in 1944.
Its exterior is domined by a triangular frontispice held in place by six doric columns, which show the final moments of Saint Louis, King of France, and Holy Saint of the Province of San Luis (Argentina).

The pigeons seems to have a more practical view of Saint Louis and its courts.

Great shot! I like the detail of the statues, which are shown off very well by the angle of the light. The golden colour of the light adds a nice glow to the picture. I also like the birds on the statues, adding some fun and realism to the photo. Well done!

Hi Patricio,
A moment I thought that you had make this very nice picture without the tripod. However I see that is the tripod. I am delighted a quality of the frame. In spite of that the situation prompted the choice of framing horizontal, You make the perpendicular picture. I think that such picture is excellent. The very good sharpness and the depth of the sharpness, splendid claro-obscuro beautifully plastified photo.
Greetings,
