Hej Ricardo,
A very good POV to show this lovely church. The white/blue colours are very nice and I like them a lot. An interesting detail is that star at the tower. Good capture, thanks for sharing!
Hilsen,
Lars

Olá Ricardo,
Bonita composición de esta pequeña iglesia pintada de azul y blanco. Buena iluminación, bellos colores y buen encuadre, aunque creo que habría que corregir un poco las verticales del lado izquierdo.
Has conseguido una grandefinición, y podemos apreciar con claridad los detalles de esta típica y apreciable arquitectura.
Me gusta.
Un saludo,
Josep

Hello Ricardo,
The church is a little beauty!
The colours are so vivid and bright, and in a perfect match with the blue sky with the fluffy withe clouds...
Well framed in a pleasant composition, good details...
Greetings,

It is a beautiful little church; the blue and white are lovely. Did they forget to take down the Christmas lights? I can imagine being there in the heat; no wonder people were all inside. I like JY's WS to correct the distotion too.

Hi Ricardo.
Very nice colours and good light for this photo.
Perhaps is only a visual effect, but looks to me a bite tilt.
Anyway, interesting.

bela foto com a luz a dar-lhe imensa vida. Gosto das cores e arquitectura da igreja e dos contrastes do edificio com o céu.
Um abraço

ola ricardo,
bela foto, all right but my friend, please use a software to strighten the distortion, i know that you only started to experiment with your new camera (seemingly pretty good end-results) but a little care for the presentation would be good (i feel some discomfort with "scolding" on you so often, ricardo, but i think it will pay :-))
best wishes, my friend, j.

Hi Ricardo,
I’m always puzzling with this kind of pictures about the perspective. Looking at the verticals I wondered if the church is a little bit slope. It’s amazing how the camera gives another perspective than the human eye.
I like this clear and clean picture.

hello Ricardo, quase sente-se o esmagador calor deste início de acordo com meio-dia, e sempre esta cor bem específica para uma imagem estética, bem cordialmente

Olá ricardo,
Tens toda a razão é mesmo uma igreja tipicamente Alentejana com as inconfundiveis barras azuis e a torre sineira.
Gostei do ângulo escolhido e as cores também estão muito bonitas.
Já estou a ver que fizeste uma série bastante grande de fotos em Avis...e olha que são todas bem bonitas.
eu geralmente nunca consigo fazer grandes séries de um só local...a não ser dos barcos do Seixal...eheheh

Typical? I'm not so sure. This is a lovely church, and your photo of it is unusual, too. I like the lens distortion here, with everything leaning in toward the tower. Nice work, Ricardo!

E a série alentejana continua! E sempre com imagens lindíssimas. Esta, claro, não podia fugir à regra. Tem umas cores excepcionais com um contraste excelente. Só não gosto muito da perspectiva que nos dá. Parece que está a cair. Mas, ao fim e ao cabo, são pormenores que não retiram nada ao bom trabalho apresentado.

Ricardo this is your second photo with your latest camera...Pro815. Interesting perspective indeed. I have to say that with a range of 28-420mm lens it does create an interesting perspective. A lovely setting... I think I would have cloned out the wires in this one. Thanks for sharing!

Ola Ricardo,
A lovely Papagolfade, I like here the intensity of the structure blues and their strong contrast against the whites, considering how eclatant those whites are I think you've done a great job in terms of exposure and colors rendering. I did a small WS for this distortion.
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Olá Ricardo,

I may be perverted but I like the distortion here, it is so strong that it becomes already an esthetic point. Very nice clean composition and colours. Nice that the lines on the church continue the lines on the pavement. Maybe you could have cloned away the wires but apart from that the picture is very good!

Cheers
Alexander

Hola Ricardo , Cómo estás ? Ayer busqué Avis , me despertó la curiosidad tras ver tus fotos y en este caso , espero que ese lugar(pequeño pueblo) no esté muy lejos de Avis porque es una delicia para los sentidos , la magnífica combinación del blanco y el azul(en España ese tipo de arquitectura no existe, incluso en zonas cercanas al Alenteixo como Extremadura o Andalucía), los detalles de la plaza y la maravillosa luz de Alenteixo aunque supongo que ahora los días deben ser extremadamente calurosos .
Un abraço

I really like the perspective in this shot which is accentuated by the gradual distortion on the left. There's great contrast against this blue sky, and details are nice and sharp. Very good work.
Best wishes
Mark

Hola Ricardo
me encanta esta limpia caputura. Podía resultar un tanto dificil evitar la sobreexposición del edifico blanco puro pero conseguiste una gran luz. Lastima de los cables pero claro esto ya no se podía evitar. Barrufeto y yo pensariamos en cortarlos para conseguir un mejor tiro, jejejejeje es broma.
Me gusta mucho la composición y por su puesto de colores.
Saludos amigo
Sergio

Hello, Ric
I can see you have a little discussion here about the distortion. Me, personaly - I love distortions, leaning buildings, wide-angle and fisheye effects. I think, it's awesome. That's what makes your image look unique and different. I also like brilliant colors and clean sky. Great job, Ric

Ola Ricardo
This is the same place where you went last week if my memory serves me right...The beautiful white & blue colours of the church standout against the blue sky. Somehow against the tide of critiques I like the effect of lens distortion with the leaning effect. The small structure on the left also helps to anchor the picture well & balances the view of the church. Thanks my friend for showing us Alentejo with your eyes
Regards
Angshu

Olá Ricardo,
Vi esta depois da de hoje e estava à espera de encontrar aqui um ninho de cegonha (eventualmente difícil de notar na miniatura).
Apresentas aqui, com bons detalhes, as belas cores da arquitectura alentejana. Quanto à distorção da imagem, acentuada pelos riscos no chão, de certo modo atrai o olhar.
Mesmo que soubesse, eu talvez não usasse o software to strighten the distortion; já vi casos em que é pior a emenda que o soneto.

bela igrejinha, aparência bem lusa. Gostei muito do pov, da luz, das cores e do local. pena que os apetrechos natalinos estavam estragando um pouco a paisagem. isso já aocnteceu comigo. paciência, o que importa é o todo

abraços
