Amazing capture, Master!!!
Se ve absolutamente hermosa, es un gran lugar y una increíble fotografía! Grande Maestro!!

Super B&W.

Gorgeous! The stark brightness of the front of the cathedral creates a beautiful contrast against the darker, ominous sky. Very nice black and white photograph.

It's a good one, but some spots on the cathedral got almost overexposed.
Maybe getting a light tripod and using exposure bracketing would help next time (it's not very difficult to blend either).
That said, it's still a pretty good one.

Great shot Carlos!
All your works are Fantastic

Oh wow...gorgeous angle and just...wow *_* Not many photos grab my attention for some reason, but this is freaking beautiful. Thanks for posting!

WOW!!!! Que impresionante construcción... hermosa catedral!
Una foto muy bien lograda .... como siempre

I really love this one,it's razor sharp and the cathedral looks like 3d rendered.

Great photo, the clouds are on the right place to make nice contrast

the perspective is cool

great piece ,love the perspective so much ..and the clouds too,the details is great +10

Impressive view! The light and details of the front wall are very interesting.

+8 / 8

This is breathtaking. It looks huge, very beautiful architecture.

breathtakingly beautiful..bravo Carlos

Amazing Shot!
+10/10!

Absolutely breathtaking! The dynamic use of black to white encompassing every tonal change in between is very well executed, and this photograph shows how effective it can be at giving anything, even a building presence and "personality".

I love the black steeple on the right played against the white clouds, and the white steeple on the left standing in front the dark sky, until it begins to hit the lower part of the structure, where it turns black again to meet the white clouds at the bottom. This really makes the cathedral stand out and yet at the same time seamlessly connects it with the background.

You don't see too many structures like this in the US (if any), as we tend to smash our history into the ground and build another car park or "modern" building over top of it. So it's really a treat for me to see vicariously through your eyes!

In the words of Joni Mitchell::
"They paved paradise and put up a parking lot."

They just keep on coming... Another excellent work! 7/7

just perfect.
greetings mr. Carlos.

The details in this are amazing! The nice angle makes for a great composition and the contrast is eye popping! Excellent work!

Cliche, maybe, but this isn't the typical point and shoot touristy photo! This is magnificent and breath-taking! I could stare at this one for a long time, you've definitely captured all the majesty of such incredible architecture. +10

Carlos this is one of my favorites from you recently for sure! I'd say that polarizer is still doings its job very well...I've been trying to get some infrared black and white shots of churches around the area, and none of these even come close to this one..amazing!

Thanks to you all for the kind comments.....
I have taken many pictures of this church on different ocassions.......no one made justice to the subject.....except this one.
Beside the use of a polarizer I think the picture came out fairly good because the light conditions were very close to ideal.
And that makes me reflect that sometimes is bettter to take another picture under better condtions than trying to save one that is not so good....this goes specially with landscapes and buildings.....street portraits are different.
Carlos

wow - it looks so majestetic. I feel humble watching it. I love the b&w. Really a great capture.

Majestic is the right word, the angle works wonders . . . .

Very powerful and imposing pic . . . .

masterful conversion Carlos! and as I was saying to a friend earlier, they sure don't make em like they used to. That could be said of both your filter and the cathedral

hello Carlos, the view on this cathedral is a cliche maybe, but your photo is absolutely perfect. Your "30 years old, circular still rotating" filter done a good job for you I m sure the b&w choice is the best.

my regards

Intense! +10

Impressive. It looks almost like a drawing, just better

wow wow~
I love the contrast and the perspective of this shot!
The black and white really really great~

Great, maximum vote. What kind of camera do you use?

This one was taken with a Canon Powershot Pro1......I just got a Canon SLR Xti.
Carlos

great

Wow! Absolutely outstanding! The top right rooftop and bottom left side seem a bit dark but that's from the angle taken, but great shot nonetheless! +5/5

No me extraña que estéis orgullosos, es muy bonita la catedral la foto es perfecta, muy profesional creo yo. Pero... 245000 personas y dices que la ciudad es pequeña? Pues como deben ser las grandes! +10

beautiful building and you made it look so solid in the photo. amazing work as always
