Impressive architecture of course, but so well captured. The black and white is perfect, and the reflection in the floor is amazing. Towering and stylish.

Obrigado. As cores estavam vivas demais pois foi uma foto com uns 3 segundos de exposição, quando a passei pa preto e branco ficou com um contraste muito bom devido às cores intensas ke jÑ tinha. Obrigado pelo comment

Γ em Belem, certamente que o conheces. Passa um pouco despercebido, as pessoas vΓ£o a Belem ver o mosteiro e a torre e esquecem-se deste monumento espetacular. Obrigado pelo comment

Very nice architectural shot! The reflection makes the photo.

This is a great photo, you can really see the figure contemplating the monument, and you have some good contrast going on, here. On the other hand, I think you may need just a little more contrast in the upper part of the picture, so that we can see the top of the monument. Not so much that it takes away from the person who's the focal point, but just enough so that we know what's going on. (though that lack fo contrast in the top may be a function of the photo quality you were talking about)

This picture has a strong feeling to it...it reminds me of how sad it is that so many people in the world have died because of conflict and war

I love the black and white thing! It has somewhat a abstract effect on me because of the black and white and the reflections on the water. The little person under the monument makes the dimension of the building clear!! It's also cool that the dark top of the monument overflows into the sky...Very well done
