Nice composition, but the flash ruins everything...

Probably you need a tripod and shot it at a longer exposure.

i agree with other comments about using the tripod and not flash. otherwise a beautiful and interesting abstract

With this picture you certainly showed what kind of beautiful details one can find in this bookstore except for books ;-)
But indeed you should try using a tripod next time, without flash...

Yeees, it really has to be the most beautiful bookstore in the world! Wish one day to be able to visit it. I think this is the second shot of it I see on TE and I could not pass it by, of course..:-) I like how you composed the detail of the staircase, and the way you framed it. All these curving lines give a very romantic look to the whole picture!

O ângulo é bastante interessante, mas penso que a maioria dos autores deste site, não compreendem muito bem este tipo de imagens, e que pena não ter outro tipo de luminosidade !

Beautiful piece of architecture captured and well composed. Please do it again with tripod and without using flash as I'd really like to see it in a better light!
Thank you!
PS. Thought the link would be for the book store... thanks anyway.

Composição muito interessante de esta lindissima livraria. Gosto muito de como disposeste as formas sinuosas na composição.

Apenas me parece que o flash é um pouco evidente (compreendo que é dificil de o evitar), mas num programa gráfico talvez reduzindo os Highlights um pouquinho (na a´rea dos Brilho/Contraste) poderias minizar este efeito.

Great shot, Antonio, a lot of graphism, here! And, a lot of details of the engraved wood.
