Photographer’s Note

A beautiful gate at one of the noteworthy buildings in Lima.

I made this shot from a car, that stopped for a second - hence the point of view. I could not miss this site. I just wish I had more time to stop and view it...

I scanned, cropped the picture and added some contrast, sharpness and color saturation, and an outside frame, that, I believe, balanced the colors of the image.

Well, as you say, you didn't have time to compose the picture, that explains a lot. The composition is a bit "pointless", the wall runs from the right to the left, but the attention is drawn by the domes too, so the eye doesn't know where to look at. Not to say of the "I.OS A.G.L.ES" sign, nearly unreadable, that continuously distracts. Also, the picture is taken from very low, so the perspective is not natural. The columns of the wall are cropped. Take your time next time :-)

I made a ws to explain my POV on the technical details.
