Hello Jose,

I have never seen this type of tall and beautiful church, this is a majestic and classical architectural work, shot it nicely under the blue sky with well detailing and good framing, I very much like your camera control.

warm regards,

Hello José,
This tall bell tower and symbol of the city of Porto gave you the inspiration to make a very beautiful bookmark.
From your POV it looks like the tower is standing alone but if I remember well it is built against the church.
Good presentation of the many architectural details.
Best regards, Paul

Hi Jose
The tower is quite awesome, love the lines in this and the slim vertical format which suits the subject matter really well suppose it gives the pic a different look and the angle gives good perspective and strength to the image. Nicely composed, splendid lighting and the amount of detail of the stonework with beautiful textures. Love that sky too! I don't see how you could be unhappy with it :)
Fine work, Congrats, tfs
Best regards

Most impressive photo of the prominent tower over Porto skyline, Jose.
Good choice by cropping the picture vertically, concetrate on the subject, eliminating some street disturbances.
Favorable daylight, fine shot showing details superbly.
Bom fim de semana,
Ike

Maravillosa captura de esta preciosisima torre, que no recuerdo haber visto cuando visite la ciudad, una pena pues es un monumento magnifico, con su belleza barroca.
Un perfecto colorido muy natural.
Una imagen muy luminosa y con una óptima nitidez.
Bien hecho. Me gusta mucho.

Hola Jose

A superb vertical bookmark shot of the tower with good sharpness and excellent pov. Adequate sharpness but could be sharpened selectively excluding the sky, which I would have blurred in parts (the blue) to mask the artifacts and pixellation. Nice warm cold color contrasts too. Tfs!
