Simply a nice day in the Plaza de Armas in Cusco. I cropped the photo in photoshop to take out some of the immediate foreground and added the black border. I don't know what my reasoning was to add the border only to the top and bottom, I just liked it that way.

Hermosa toma, te quedó muy pintoresco todo, la composición, los colores, tonos, excelente trabajo...

Abrazos...

Jonathan,
This is a great shot of this wonderful plaza. The lighting and colors are great with excellent sharpness and detail. Your composition is great placing the building off center and showing the plaza and fountain.

Hi Jonathan,
Very nice view of this peaceful square where people seem to take the time to live and enjoy a sunny day. The depth of field is great and the view is open far behind on the hills in the background. The colours are dazzling and your picture is very pleasant to look at. Surely a nice place to be.
Kind regards,
Christian

HI Jonathan,

I love the feel of colorful life in this ancient place. Wonderful colors .. dimension .. and I love the sense of motion in the sky. very nice.

take care,

John

Beautiful shot of the "navel of the world" (as the Incas called it). Takes me back to when I was there 10 years ago. Your colors are crisp, you've got the flag positioned right (would have been nice to have more of a breeze), and the people are doing things.

Takes your breath away!

I saw this one a few days ago and I didn't get the opportunity to sit down and compliment you on it. I love your high vantage point I think it really opens up the plaza. The people scattered all throughout are fun to look at and see what they are doing. The sky is quiet dramatic and red flag in the middle is a nice touch. Very well done.

Hi Jonathan
I wonder if you took this photo from up,inside one of the restaurant facing the cathedral
The light is just superb, giving a good contrast.
It must have been early afternoon, judging from the shade.
Besides the slight tilt to the left, this is a good picture.
Have a good We

Hello Jonathan,
I like this moderate contrast and color saturation. Your arrangement of the visitors is very excellent, especially the woman with the red skirt in the right side.
Have a nice weekend
