Santa Barbara Chapel, a photo from Rio de Janeiro, Southeast

Photographer's Note

"... Santa Barbara Chapel at Santa Cruz Fortress located in Niterói, Guanabara Bay. It is an example of the religious architecture of the Jesuit period, built in 1612, reconstructed by the Swiss military engineer Jacques Funck in 1763. It has suffered severe damages during the Navy Rebellion at the end of the XIX century. It has been restored in 1995". (cf. cipa.icomos.org/papers/99c313.pdf)

Beautiful colors, nice light and shadows over the church. good perspective and composition.
It's well defined, but perhpas an unshap mask could improve, I dunno if possible to crop better.
