Bridge To The Cathedral, a photo from Salamanca, Castilla y Leon

Photographer's Note

I can't say much about Salamaca, once that I've been there just for one day! But one thing I'm sure, is that if you like monuments this is just a perfec place.
That place where I've taken this photo was a nice park just by the Tormes River. As there was no wind the reflexion was almost perfect.
A nice place to visit if you passe by...

Very nice shot, with a perfect reflection! The arches of the bridge look really good in this, because the reflection makes them like circles (or ellipses I guess). Good use of the black & white too, which emphasizes the shapes and reduces the distractions. Well done!

Hi Artur,

I love the way your tone works on the old buildings .. I love the dimension and lines of your bridge .. and the beautiful stillness of the water is magnificent .. wonderful.

take care,

John

Hola Artur,
Excelente captura en esta imagen, el uso de blanco y negro muy bien utilizado. El reflejo de las estructuras en el agua estan captados de una manera sobresaliente. Composicion muy bien lograda.

Hello Artur

The way you've composed is very well seen. The bridge leads the eyes through the picture and give depth.
The cathedral stands out proudly against the sky.
The symmetry is perfect thanks to these impressive reflections.
I would have liked to see the color version. I'm not convinced by the choice of B&W for this kind of compositions, but it's just my taste.
Great picture anyway.

Regards,
Karine

Ola Artur,
This is absolutely stunning composition.
B&W conversion gives us a feeling of simplicity and purity here.
Perfect work!
