Hello John,
intersting moment; very nice view of the palace and the area in front of it! Very good colours. I like the people feeding the birds.
though it seems to me that the photo is a bit tilted. I would rotate it a little clock-wise.
best wishes,
Elena

Hi John,

Great picture. I particularly like how the lower third of the shot contrasts with the rest of the composition. The blue (jeans) is striking.

This is really a shot worth posting on TE. The apperture of 8.1 makes a great depth of field, from the pigeons to the human beings........to the repeatition of the pillars.....its a great shot.
It was destined to be a low angle shot......
Marvellous inall respects.

Best Regards,

Rajeev

La architectura del palacio es muy interesente y contraste muy bien con la primer parte de tu composición, tan para los colores como para el estilo.

Hola John muy buena foto que capta una de las entretenciones favoritas en la Plaza de Bolivar, alimentar las palomas. Tan solo una pequeña corrección al título, no estás en frente del Palacio de San Carlos sino del Capitolio. El Palacio de San Carlos queda por la calle 10 en frente del Teatro Colón dos cuadras hacia arriba.

Un abrazo Ricardo
