[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [Spanish]
The most innovative of Rio's significant churches is the Catedral Metropolitana. Some dislike this building, finding its shape disconcerting and its interior dark. I love it. At each of the four cardinal compass points a rectilinear latticework of concrete and stained glass soars upwards, tilting inwards as it rises. Where they meet at the ceiling there's another stained-glass latticework -- a cross -- shining softly with light filtered in from the sky. The form is ultimately modern; the feeling is soaring High Gothic.

Ola Gabriel, concordo com o que disse efigesta, uma foto muito boa, com uma profundidade muito grande, bem executada e com muito boa luz, ricardo

Some modern cathedrals are lovely and it's always interesting to hear the intentions of the architect, as most aspects of the design have a religious significance. I like the way you have taken this so that the sun is streaming in through the stained glass.

Olá Gabriel,
Eu não conheço esta Catedral,mas estas igrejas escuras tem uma atmosfera mística. Acho que você fez um bom trabalho, boas cores, texturas e excelente profundidade.
Parabéns!
Abraços,
Leonor

Hi Gabriel! Good photo. Interesting light and colours. I like the composition, contrast and frame. Thanks for sharing.

Hola Gabriel.

Desde un punto de vista quizás más frontal la foto te hubiera salido simétrica y si esta me gusta, aquella hubiera estado mejor. Vaya, eso creo.

Aparte de eso, el contraste y las luces que consigues siempre son dificiles de captar dentro de una catedral y eso le da un "algo" especial a la foto.

Saludos, Oscar

Ola gabriel, que ponto de vista espectacular temos aqui, fantasticas cores e fantantica composição, adorei, abraço manuel

Gabriel, você acredita que eu nunca entrei lá para tirar foto!
Só pelo lado de fora apenas. Eu sou um dos que não gosta do lado de fora, ela tem um ar muito pesado. Mas gosto de seu interior!

Gostei da sua foto, usou tripé? Ficou bem nítida!
Abraço

Hi Gabriel - very interesting and unusual structure, nice light balance.

Salut Gabriel,
Superbe effet avec un bon rendu des couleurs et de la lumière grâce à cette bonne exposition, bien fait.

Bonsoir Gabriel,
Étonnante Cathédrale en forme de cône ou de pyramide tronquée, décorée aux quatre coins cardinaux de vitraux en forme de pavés de verre.
La toiture en forme de croix "ouverte" sur le ciel est également très originale.
J'aime beaucoup.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Gabriel!
Interesting composition here and beautiful light.
I like the contrast too.
Regards,
Vesela

Olá Gabriel,
Uma composição muito bonita e com uma enquadramento magnifico.
A cor e a luz muito bem conseguidas. Bom trabalho.
Abraço. Aires dos Santos

Hola Gabriel
Es una impresionante cupula, con unos colores y detalles muy buenos. Esta muy bien captada y me gusta el angulo que resulto de la cruz y los vitriales laterales. Muy buena composicion.
Felicitaciones. TFS.

Hola Gabriel.
Me gusta mucho el juego de luces y sombras que has creado aquí (luces, sombras y colores). Y el romper la simetría también me gusta, sino sería una correcta foto, pero sin arriesgar nada en ella.
Bien hecho.

Hi Gabriel, An excellent capture of the lights of the roof. Good PoV and nice show the cross at the top. A very well taken picture. Well done.

Me encanto la compo querido, pero no se si es mi pantalla o me parece que le falta definicion en los colores, ANYWAY... esta bella !!!



;)

La catedral es impresionante. Me recuerda algo a escenas de películas futuristas tipo "Blade Runner". La composición es correcta y apropiada para la vista. Lástima que la foto creo que está algo movida. ¿No podías usar trípode, verdad? Si hubiera podido usar el trípode sería perfecta.

This is a clever capture Gabriel
I like the play with light and the stainless glass wall
The perspective is good and mysterious too
