El Edificio Metalico, a photo from Alajuela, East

Photographer's Note

El "Edificio Metalico".
This is a metallic building brought from France at the end of the 19th century. It is one of the most prestigious public primary schools in San José, called "Escuela Buenaventura Corrales".
Special thanks to Roberto Garcia & Gerardo Volio (Costa Rica). I initially thought this was a museum!

Excellent architecture photo, with great POV and perspective. The only thing I don't like in the picture is the frame with the letters that distract the eye. Besides that a great job!
Best regards,
Hercules

Hi Radu,
this is really beautiful. I like the composition with the foreground details that are framing the museum of golden colours. Just great. Have a nice day.

Interesting shot, nice perspective. The only problem is that this isn't a museum.

Here's a shot I took from another angle at this same building.

Nice picture.
Dificult to take, since it seems as a cloudy day, and still have a nice light in the building.

Only between you and me : this is not Museo San Jose. It is a school, and it is commonly known as Edificio Metalico, since its construction is metalic.

Radu
Me parece una excelente composición de un lugar fotografiado muchas veces, pero hasta ahora veo una composición integrada a la realidad urbana y natural circundante.
Saludos, Rafael
