Hi Jose, I am glad to see you here ! This picture is just great. I like the b&w processing very much as well as the very well balance of light.

Hi Jose. There is much to like about this image so I my lengthy comments are because I think it is striking but has the potential to be even better. There is a lot of speckling in the sky which does not enhance the image. You appear to have used the blur tool rather indiscriminately and softened some edges which are best left sharp especially on the left chimney. A little more space on the left would be good too IMO even if you have to add canvas and clone some sky in. As I said, I like the image very much and would like to see it "cleaned up".
Vic.

A stunning image. I usually agree with Vic but, in this case, I like this just as it is except for the speckling which is even more evident in the larger size. I love Gaudi and his genius comes through in this.

Interesting and moody - a bit futuristic even. Suggestions on how to enhance are already made if you would go that route. This way it seemed to be made out of iron.

Hello Jose


Well you certainly have such an eye for something different to capture my friend and once again here an effective image. I agree with the comments about the speckles in the sky but i do love the shot.. the lovely curvatures and the colour tones are just spot on Smile

Thank you for the kind words and suggestions for a better photo; I've appreciated all of them, specially Paul, but my low knowledge of photoshop doesn't allow me to do everything it was suggested. Anyway I'll try to improve, step by step,and your words help me in a journey that I began almost 3 years ago in TL.
Thank you all once more, mb
