Great photo- the sky looks very cool. I like how the clouds are coming out from behind the tower. The lighting and coloring is beautiful. Good work!

Nice perspective, good POV. A bit overexposed for my opinion, or maybe just a bit more dark tone should have made it better. Once again, for my personnal taste. But don't care, this photograph is a success and is beautiful!

To me, this is all about South America.
A deeper exploration may enrich my image of the half-south continent but so far, whenever thinking of this land, my memory turns me to this ID photo.

Thanks.
I hope I could make a trip to the South soon!

Hola Alejandro,
Me ha encantado esta foto. La torre de la iglesia tapa muy bien el sol que tiene tras ella y el efecto de haces de luz sobre las escasas nubes es precioso.El azul del cielo es muy intenso y hace buen contraste con el color de la iglesia. El punto de vista me ha gustado mucho y la definición exquisita. Además el marco que has añadido es muy elegante.
Buen trabajo!
Saludos,
Javier
