Mission San Jose, a photo from Texas, Sud

Photographer's Note

San Antonio Missions National Historical Park preserves four of the five Spanish frontier missions. These outposts were established by Catholic religious orders to spread Christianity among the local natives. These missions formed part of a colonization system that stretched across the Spanish Southwest in the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. The picture shows Misión San José y San Miguel de Aguayo. Known as the "Queen of the Missions", this is the largest of the missions.

In the WS you can see a different scene of the place where a painter is doing his work.

Pleasant composition, nice sharp and clear taken.
Very well done, TFS.

Bonjour, cher ami Sergio,
Outre la beauté manifeste de l'édifice, j'admire l'environnement qui valorise l'architecture.
L'ensemble s'apparente à une très belle peinture.
Très belle réalisation.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hola Sergio,
Beautiful tree in the middle of the big lot where the mission is.
POV well chosen and included the foliage on the far left side, cover some of the blue sky-space. The WS photo is a nice added angle and the painter.
Buenas tardes,
Ike

holmertz (73065) 2018-01-12 6:41

Hello Sergio,
It's a very nice postcard kind of photo. The mission is an attractive complex of buildings and a rather rare ancient sight of this kind in the US, I believe. The branches of a tree cover the left upper corner well and are nicely balanced by the tree on the right side. The dominance of mainly green and brown tones is very appealing.
Kind regards,
Gert

Sergiom (107181) 2018-01-12 7:21

Bonjour Sergio,

Un cadrage classique mais il fonctionne bien à tous les coups. L'église est très belle ainsi que son environnement immédiat et que dire du ciel qui est très avantageux.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Sergio,
Excellent composition to show this mission, the POV is very well chosen too. I like how you included the tree in the foreground and the overhanging branches on the left. The colours are very pleasant, well-saturated and natural.
Lars

jean113 (10757) 2018-01-12 7:55

Hello Sergio, an excellent point of view with the tree on the left hand side framing the building beautifully.
It is an imposing building and looks like an interesting place to visit.
I particularly like the inclusion of the palm(?) in the foreground. The workshop picture is also very good.
Regards Jean.

adramad (57576) 2018-01-12 8:05

Hola Sergio.
Me encanta esta composicion muy bien elegida, ya de por si el edificio de la mision es muy interesante, pero las ramas del arbol a la izquierda y la planta central con el penacho de flores, completan una imagen de gran atractivo.
Magnífico color, buena claridad y detalles.
Que tengas un buen dia.
Saludos muy cordiales.
Luis.

rychem (57837) 2018-01-12 8:33

Royaldevon (55168) 2018-01-12 12:11

Hello Sergio,

The most immediate recognition is the clarity of your photograph. It is stunning!
I like how well you have used the off-centre plant, to anchor the f/g and begin the link to the Mission building, a very strong feature.
The light is bright and the colours are warm and enticing.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Sergio
smart composition choices here my friend, very attractive.
the set up using the branches and the weird looking tree in the fg works so well. and of course the building itself is A+, love its rustic walls and rustic overall look. good for you to have large clouds included as well. smart shot
cheers
Craig

PaulVDV (42885) 2018-01-19 9:56

Hello Sergio,
You have beautiful pictures of Texas, views we almost never see somewhere else.
The Spanish mission is excellently presented from a good angle and in an attractive composition.
The plant (or tree) adds an exotic accent.
Best regards, Paul

gervaso (23805) 2018-01-24 6:35

Hola, Sergio!

No sabía de la existencia de esas misiones allá. En Brasil, Argentina y Paraguay también hay misiones, de las cuales solo he visitado las paraguayas. La vista enmarcada por la vegetación es bellísima, y me gustan los colores cálidos de la escena. Excelente trabajo!

lucasgalodoido (25806) 2018-01-25 7:35

Olá Sergio,
outra bela imagem dessa Igreja em sua galeria, e aqui com mais cores. Gostei do seu belo trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço,
Lucas

Periko (7673) 2018-02-07 16:20

Hola Sergio
Una composición muy bonita, aun con esa planta en primer plano. La misión en sí es una joya arquitectónica, bien iluminada y enmarcada.

SALUDOS

pierrefonds (83835) 2018-07-13 4:51

Hi Sergio,

The tgrees are framing well the mission. The point of view is showing the details of the mission. The light is giving nice tints to the colors. Have a nice day.
