Stunning shot Rafael. The light in this shot is superb and the composition with the church dominating is spot on. Well done

Dear Rafael,
Thank you Rafael for this kind thought. Beautiful small church, quite simple, but of a big beauty. The meditation isn't proportional in the size of the Church;-)))
very beautiful recording with a lighting which well highlights this building (light and shadow).
Very well done.
Cher Rafael,
Merci Rafael pour cette gentille pens嶪. Jolie petite 嶲lise, toute simple, mais d'une grande beaut�. Le recueillement n'est pas proportionnel � la taille de l'Eglise ;-)))
Tr鋊 belle prise de vue avec un 嶰lairage qui met bien en valeur cet 嶮ifice (lumi鋨e et ombre).
Tr鋊 bien fait.

I like the colors on this one, Rafael.
The contrast between the church and the blue sky is great. Very well captured.

Jeppe (18654) 2004-04-12 5:32

Oh very lovely and moody image - I like the soft smooth colours and surfaces - Specially the blue sky and the right corner what catch my eye. Thanks for sharing this fine work Rafael.

Special colours give a special atmosphere here. I like it also because it is unusual to photograph the sides of a church without windows or rose windows etc.

Incredible light you captured on this one, Rafa. Very nice atmosphere, and great tones of yellow and blue. The building is captured from a perfect angle, which is also an interesting one as we don't see any windows or doors. Very well done.

Kenny10pin (19301) 2004-04-12 11:10

magnificent colours here, I like the blues in all your pictures and this building in particular stands out alot, well done indeed

avigur_11 (22553) 2004-04-12 11:10

Rafael, this is a very nice work, but I also like your friendly thoughts. This is really a Philippe's style, but I enjoy your interpetation. Magic light, minimalist composiotion, wonderful sky. Very very well done.

Bom enquadramento e optimo ambiente criado em redor da igreja. As cores tambem est緌 muito boas.
� uma foto muito bem conseguida!
Well done ;)

carper (96) 2004-04-12 12:49

Very nice tribute an Philippe, with a compliment to yourself, because this is also realy good, nice composition good colours, good job, well done Rafael

robbertjan (2906) 2004-04-12 12:49

Hi Rafael i think Phillipe loves your picture. But there is a lot of yours in this one!! Beautiful colors and a lovely sky. Great, great!!

Schultzy (5446) 2004-04-12 13:19

Great shot, nice subject and perfect composition. Beautiful colors of the church contrasting on the blue sky. I like the walking man on the left of the church, this includes a little bit live in the picture.

sunny (3069) 2004-04-12 13:58

The light effect you captured here is just stunning!!! The prevailing golden/blue colours are beautifying lovely your composition and make it unique. Congratulations, Rafael!

jrj (34843) 2004-04-13 5:09

Another well composed pix with the fine lines and the clean, attractive light and colours. Very elegant and a fine overall setting

richtersl (3546) 2004-04-13 7:01

Fantastic lighting! Well done, Rafael!

pamastro (7296) 2004-04-13 16:21

Very nice composition and great lighting. It's really nice captured. It makes the building look so smooth. The sky is a beautiful color, also, changing tones nicely as it approaches the horizon. But back to the building. it's such a nice simple form. No windows, just simple smooth walls and a nice pure shape. And the lighting just accentuates that. Very nice.

piozac (2065) 2004-04-13 17:19

What a great shot Rafael. Colours are beautiful!
Well done!

c_kyr (1810) 2004-04-14 5:13

Wonderful colors Rafael. Very nice composition. Well done!

pjventosa (54) 2004-04-14 10:17

Esta foto est� muito boa. Gosto Muito. A intensidade das cores, o pormenor da pessoa que ia a passar junto ao candeeiro, etc... Parab幯s.

Riz (0) 2004-04-14 11:33

you just keep on posting huh I'm very picky in what I post I shot probably more than you but you keep on greating these great shots Rafa! excellent tones and colors

joseelias (0) 2004-04-14 14:52

De facto � uma bela imagem de uma bela e simples igreja. As cores s緌 excelentes e o controlo da exposi誽o muito bom.

Apenas dois pormenores. A geometria poderia ser corrigida (especialmente no lado direito) e a marca da pessoa em passagem eliminada. Mas como disse s緌 apenas dois pormenores que em nada afectam o ambiente excelente da foto.

cmartos (242) 2004-04-16 5:37

Outstanding colours and composition. Parabens!

Great lighting on this shot, from the illuminated church to the beautiful tones in the sky!

The curch looks so simple and undetailed from this view, which I'm guessing is the back. I love the simplistic colouring the lights provide.

This is a really amazing capture! Well done!
