[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Plaza Mayoror main square of Lima, with its fountain, is the oldest public space still preservad in the city. And it was this same square that was selected for the take~off of the rejuvenation plan for Peru's capital city.

Left uper corner is one of two towers (The bell tower) of the The Lima Cathedral (La Basílica Catedral de Lima y Primada del Perú)
It is a Roman Catholic temple and is located in the Main Plaza of downtown Lima, Peru. It started its construction in 1535. It has been transformed many times, but it still conserves its colonial composition and facade.

This is a very nice picture and good POV. Nice work,
Have nice day.good note.

hey
nice colours and all, but i don't really like the compostition. In my opinion there is too much street and too less building/architecture for bein a good capture of this square...
cheers, jan

Hi Assi
I really liked this capture of the plaza Mayor in Peru
I liked the composition you got and the nice effect of the architeture texture..
Good DOF, POV and sharpness.
well done.

Hello Assi,
This is an interesting perspective and an original way to present the Plaza Mayor.
Do you use sharpening after having resampled your images ? I think it could help to improve the crispiness of the whole... but maybe I am wrong.
Cheers
