Hi Peter,
Beautiful old building from colonial times, a real time worp with no modern elements shown. Brillant light and fantastic colors.

Ola Peter,
The bright colors of the poincianna tree framed between the deep blue sky and the golden cobblestones is beautiful. What a difference between yours and Paolo's photos; yours is all the kodachrome colors of a postcard while his translates well the feeling of a tropical town square at night. SAA, Pat

Hi Peter
The vivid colours and warm sunlight really make this shot glow with South American atmosphere. The elements are nicely composed and the lively colours are nicely balanced by a peaceful setting.

Beautiful image; the polariser did the trick. The light is good and the vivid colours superb. The interior shot shows us what a beautiful place this will be when restoration is complete.

Hi Peter, this is a clean image here, nothing bad, nothing tremendous neither ;) A pure picture from vacation, i really like that kind of shot sometimes, seeing the beauty of countries we visited, without trying too much things in settings or in composition. So good choice of compo here, without people, your treatment in PP is excellent, almost a drawing :)

Hoi Peter! Wenn Du noch lange machst, dann rennen wir alle nach Paraty, das gibt eine wahre Touristenflut, und ein schauriges Bild, wenn alle mit der Kamera vor der Nase herumflitzen :) Die Farben sind einmalig schoen und klar und tropisch. Ich mag diese wunderschoene Palme, die in den tief blauen Himmel ragt ... irgendwie hat das Ganze etwas Nostalgisches. Wie auch immer, einfach attraktiv. Schoenae Sunntig, da isch es Abig, es gibt z'Nacht. Barbara.

Hi Peter,

What wonderful picture of this little nice church. The POV here is very good and the composition showing part of the square and the 'charrete' parked waiting for hiders is very well executed. It shows the slow pace of life here during he warm sunny days. Your pictures are a nice invitation and marketing to Paraty and to Brazil. It's amazing to think that a country of this size and with so many different landscapes and atractions receive less foreigns turistas tham the little Singapore!

Cheers,

Flavia

Peter,
I really think this is an excellent shot. It is so crisp and clear. The colors are absolutely beautiful. The workshops add some extra interest to the photo. Composition is really good, with many different elements of interest. I really like the shadow of the palm tree on the front of the church.
Regards,
Ryan

Hi Peter - this has 4 strong points: the colonial architecture, the native exotic! vegetation, the antique horsecart and the busy sky

Olá Peter,

Gosto muito! Pov bem escolhido, fantástica luminosidade e cores, ou não fosse ela de quem é. Acho que a carroça e os homens, juntamente com a luz, que deixa perceber a hora do dia e nos faz pensar no calor, retrata bem a atmosfera do local no momento em que disparou.

Noto com alguma satisfação maldosa que não sou o único a obter aquele ruído estranho nas sombras quando tento compensar a sub-exposição no pp, mas de qualquer forma, acho que está optimamente processada.

Penso que a tradução mais acertada de N.Sra dos Remédios é Our Lady of the Medications (o "nossa" é da Senhora, não dos remédios), mas isso é um detalhe sem grande importância. Juntando-me ao que a Maria DoCarmo escreveu, talvez o seu palpite quanto à origem do nome esteja errado - essa santa (ou forma/avatar) é bastante comum aqui em Portugal, e já o devia ser antes da colonização do Brasil. Mas concordo que talvez terem escolhido uma santa "dos remédios" em vez de outra qualquer tivesse a ver com as doenças comuns no local e antes desconhecidas para os primeiros colonos.

Um abraço, José.

Hola Peter.
This is a very good tropical scene with the palm tree and the flamboyan tree. The old church presents a nice architecture with great details and colors contrast. The carriage add to your shot. Interesting note.
Well done, TFS.

Pois é, Peter... A cana, o ouro e o café não foram suficientes para erguer as torres dessa igreja, construída já quando a cidade experimentava o início de seu empobrecimento. Mas a beleza, sem dúvida, é de primeira, bem retratada nessa perspectiva e nas cores de sua foto. Parabéns! Abraço! Miguel.

Hi Peter,
That's a nice piece of a church and alone all these colonial era buildings and the fact they look very well maintained make me want to visit this place if I ever go to Brazil. Looking at the carriage makes me wonder if they went the right way to turn it into a car free zone, which would be a definite plus from an enjoyment and photographer's point of view. I'm viewing it on a bad screen but it seems to me the area on the left is a bit dark, but in addition to this screen quality it could well be I'm not too used of Tiffen rendering. I had noticed the addl R too, but for your info a repost does not delete the already collected feedback, provided you do it using the repost link next to your photo in your organize view.
Have a nice day,
Jean-yves

This is excellent Peter. The composition, the sharpness and the colours are really top drawer! I love the tall palm tree and the inclusion of the pony trap.
TFS. Leon.

Oi Peter!
Bela foto! Gosto muito da iluminação e das bonitas cores primárias. A charrete e as pessoas comppõe muito bem, saindo do lugar comum que são a maioria das fotos de igrejas. A palmeira e sua sombra são um destaque a parte...
Abraço,
Zeca

Taí algo que tentei e não consegui. quando estive ai, não encontri um angulo bom sequer para fotografar essa matriz. Também não me agradou o estado de conservação dela, com as paredes todas descascando...mas com esseas belas cores e céu, nem percebe-se isso na foto.
Excelente foto Peter, parabéns!

Abração

Hi Peter,

I love the vibrant saturated colors of the trees, sky and ground .. almost feels like the white of the church makes them leap off the screen even more ..

beautiful image.

take care,

John

Hello Peter,
Beautiful construction taken under a great light!
The colors are amazing.
I like the shadow of the palm tree on the house and the foreground with the "car".
Excellent.
Greetings.
