Church in Plaza Botero Photo

Photographer’s Note

According to my friend that lives in Medellin, this is a local Catholic church located in Plaza Botero in Medellin, Colombia. Located in the lower right corner is the head of a statue created by Fernando Botero. Botero is a famous Colombian artist whos paintings and sculptures are noted for their exaggerated proportions. You can read more about Botero here.
If this information is wrong, my apologies, this is what I was told by a citizen of Medellin.

Una Bella Image, en antioquia, si que hay una hermosa arquitectura de tipo colonial... OK.

Good architectural shot. The skys a little blown out but I like the Botero peeking in from the bottom. A very interesting looking church, I've never seen one built in these colors with that kind of brickwork before. I don't like the plain white wall at the bottom but you would also have to cut out the Botero to get rid of it so...I think that's a matter of opinion.

Nice work.

Hello Elizabeth
A very good architecture shot & I specaially like the inclusion of part of the statue at the bottom corner. A very unique architecture for sure. I think this would have benefitted by adding some contrast & a little play of shadows.

I find it very hard to take pictures of these huge buildings, but you've done a great job. Your note was very interesting as well. Such a unique church. I would be interested to know the year it was built.

Hola Elizabeth
He estado en este punto, y considero que es un buen motivo para captar, sobre todo por su arquitectura.
Pero...lastima la sobre exposición, daña todo tu trabajo, por la gran cantidad de luz que se detalla.

La fotografia toma tres iconos de Antioquia, que es lo que se debe resaltar. El edificio Coltejer, simbolo de la ciudad de Medellín, el palacio Rafael Uribe Uribe, NO ES UNA IGLESIA, y la escultura de Botero.
Sobre el palacio, se puede decir lo siguiente, extractado de TERRA:

"Palacio de la cultura Rafael Uribe Uribe

También es considerado un Momumento Nacional. Su construcción se inició en 1926 y finalizó en 1940. Cuenta con una galería de arte, una fonoteca, auditorio para conciertos y salones para exposiciones. De su construcción sólo se realizó la cuarta parte del diseño original."
