Genius or Lunatic ? Photo

Photographer’s Note

One more shot of Gaudi's masterpiece, Sagrada Familia.
Was he genius or lunatic?

Construction began in 1882. Antoni Gaudí worked on the project for over 40 years, devoting the last 15 years of his life entirely to this endeavor. On the subject of the extremely long construction period, Gaudí is said to have joked, "My client is not in a hurry."

Almost no PP on this picture.
Just slightly contrast adjustment and sharpening.
Frames added text and resized.

Well your shot is genius. The use of the fisheye and the amazing sky colour here really make this stand out from other shots of the cathedral I've seen. Well done!

Hi Wojciech
Antinio Gaudi was a great architect and your shot is so a wonderful shot for identifying this man to us.I dont know you hear this alan parsons album (Gaudi) or not ? but if you hear that you can know this man better.
Anyway your shot is great and excellent.

Well done.
afshin.

A genius he was ... his work fascinates me, barcelona can be proud to had such an architect in its town .. A shame the way he died ;)
Excellent picture of sagrada familia, i'm never seen it shot at night, i guessyou used a very long shutter speed, more than 30 sec as i see clouds moving .. Colors are relly nice, a shame there are no light on this church to make it stand out a little bit more.
A very nice shot Wojciech

Niesamowite zdjêcie; Sagrada Familia w ujêciu demonicznym. Kolorystyka nieba jest niesamowita. Trochê ostro¶æ mog³a by byæ lepsza. Ogólne wra¿enie super.

Une image très belle; je trouve que les grues accentue encore plus le côté étrange et incongrue de cette église célebre...

Great picture !

Beautiful Cathedral and beautiful shot!
I always loved hes comment about the client not being in a hurry:))
I dream about visiting this famous place sometime, Gaudi has always fascinated me, and looking at hes works, one definitely get the feeling that he wasn't normal:)
Good idea with a night shot, the colors of the sky make it look pretty good.
