Tomb of San Martin Photo

Photographer’s Note

The neoclassical Catedral Metropolitana (finished in 1827) contains the tomb of liberator José de San Martín, Argentina's most venerated
Revered as Argentina's greatest hero, San Martín was also Liberator of Chile and Protector of Peru. Called Knight of the Andes and Santo de la Espada, he is also the subject of one of history's unsolved mysteries
One of the principal liberators of South America from Spanish rule was Jose de San Martin. He is also known as Argentina's liberator, and was one of the principal revolutionary fighters against royalist forces in South America. He was a master of military strategy, a skill which led him to success. San Martin became a national hero in many South American countries

Yo Isabel!

I really like you composition but think the frame is a little blured. I like the processing of using the colour while leaving the rest greyscale. The use of a tripod could have helped.

Thanks

Hello Isa;
It seems that we did similar trips, we may have even been at the same place at the same time.
Very nicely captured, I like the desaturation of most of the image and the contrast with the coloured parts,
well done
Regards
Daniel

Ola Isabel! Como deixar escapara esta foto. Eu acho uma interessante composição. Mas tenho a impressão que alguma coisa esta torta. A imagem é um reflexo???? Gostei muito do efeito branco e preto, mas as cores da bandeira estão um pouco esquisitos.
De qq forma bom trabalho, um abraço, Gabriel
