enano con galera Photo

Photographer’s Note

...enano con galera means literally "dwarf with hat on". The first time I heard this rather peculiar name was 13 years ago while studing architecture in Uruguay. The real name is "Palacio Salvo" and it is one of the most well-known architectonic symbols in Uruguay. It is still a quiet debated structure among scholars, many thinks it is horrible while others just love it, some people even says that Le Corbusier praised it while in Montevideo. I choosed to shot only this part of the building (the hat)because I have always been fascinated with the top of the building. If you want to see it in its whole then search for Uruguay in TE and you will find other photos.

I applied a magenta filter on the picture

Hola Rolando, me gusta mucho tu POV (point of view), bastante diferente a las que hay del Salvo. Lo agregué a un "Tema" que creé hace ya un tiempo... y si no me equivoco contiene todas las fotos del Palacio Salvo de TE:

Me gusta el efecto del filtro que le aplicastes... pensé que era un B&W cuando vi la miniatura. Buena la nota.

Hola Rolando,
Una vision diferente del Palacio Salvo, y bastante original el cuadro. El recorte creo que quedo bueno. A pesar de que el cielo quedo totalmente quemado creo que queda a todo con los colores del resto de la foto... inclusive hace un efecto extraño con las persianas de las ventanas que da la sensación de que no tuviera fondo.
Muy buen trabajo
Saludos
Picardo

Hi Rolando,

This is really something. Architecture and construction can surprise us in so many ways. The sensation that i have is that, it is a structure with other construction, always beeing added something. Like a puzzle. Yes it's crazy.

Well done.

I could have sworn I critiqued this shot about a month ago Rolando. The color tones look great and it is really sharp and detailed. I think this one would do better with both sides cropped a little, getting rid of most of the "dead space" in the sky, and giving it a more vertical type feel.

I can't do a WS on the CPU I'm on now but will do one when I get a chance.

Nice architectural shot.
Good work.

- I tried a WS but I think the photo needed to be taken in the vertical format in the first place to do what I was thinking - so I just did two for fun.
