The Mission Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

This is a detail of the Concepcion Church, one of the Jesuit Missions in the Chiquitania region in Eastern Bolivia. These magnificent churches were built by indigenous people during the 18th Century, before the Jesuits' expulsion from the Americas by the Spanish Church.
The missions are now UNESCO's World Heritage.

Hi, friend!
It is very good technical photo. I very like your composition. Nice long perspective. Good colours and interesting light. I like your art in walls. Well done.

The moment I saw your shot, I felt attracted. One a warm sepia tones, and another the fine architecture in this shot; great perspective, with repitition of coloumns.
Your shot immediately reminded me of the last year when I was posted in Ludhina, and I clikced two similar shots.....but in B&W.
So tried a workshop in B&W....this is how I could have perceived this very place.
Indian Regards,
Rajeev

Hi Daniel
Wonderful view though the way you cropped is a bit tight so you miss a bit of the decorations. But the view through the doorway is beautiful. The light and colours are good and the architecture, decorations and pillars are interesting.
greetings Albrecht

Hello Daniel,
Lovely details of this church, the POV is great, I like the peach tones, everything is perfect, I think u got the maximum from this place. I saw the ws and I must say there is no comparing with the original, cause the main attribute to this photo are the colors and desaturating it just ruins the whole impression.
Regards,
Gordana

Hola Daniel.
Excelente fotografía. Me parece una composición muy buena, con ese arco tan bonito enmarcando el interior de la foto, has utilizado un punto de vista muy bueno y lo que más me llama la atención son esos colores de ensueño, que parecen sacados de un cuento fantástico. Felicidades por esta foto tan bella. Un saludo desde España.
Angel.

La foto tiene una calidad especial, tal vez son los colores y la composición.

Hola Daniel,
It's wonderful! The place is certainly very beautiful and you made a great compo with that arcade.
A great scan also. I wouldn't suspect that it was shot in film. Although I never had one, I did many shots with the AE1, one of my favourite cameras of its time.
Saludos, José.

Nice perspective of a beautiful architecture. The tone may be a bit too reddish to me. The note is very useful.
Good work Daniel!
