La Almudena

It was really interesting to read the comments, approximately 50% liked the horizontal orientation and the other 50% thought that I should have rotated the image 90°. The truth is, I actually thought that the "right" orientation is the portrait one, but when I tried it, I somehow didn't like it. It lost the details and the punch. Then I decided to go for this "strange" rotation. The image was taken at La Almudena Cathedral in Madrid, Spain during my business trip. I had only my "tourist" camera with me, I shot handheld, supporting on the church bench. I never thought I had any real chances in this challenge, but my wife liked the image amd me myself was actually pleased with the pic once I downloaded it and processed. So I decided to go for it.
Thanks a lot for the votes and the comments, shoot and prosper!

Hi De Sousa! I really appreciate your work, it is very inspiring though sometimes quite provocative. This beautiful picture was my personal favourite on this challenge, and I was really expecting it to win a ribbon, the colours are just amazing, great composition. I still cannot believe that it didn't show up on the first page. Congrats! Greetings, Goran

I think that the face and upper body are overexposed, maybe it was the intention, but I think it doesn't work here. Otherwise, nice idea and colours.

The model a bit too serious, nice colours and light.

Nice model and composition! The sidelight over the modell looks a bit too arteficial though, in combination with natural light otherwise in the picture, I think. Still a very nice photo.

Very nice composition and colors, but sharpness is a little bit of a problem
