Santa Prisca, a photo from Guerrero, Pacific Coast

Photographer's Note

The Church of Santa Prisca, along with its towers built in pink stone and its dome covered with polychrome tiles can be seen fi7om any point in town. Its construction took only seven years, from 1751 to 1758, a record time for the XVHI century. Its great artistic value lies in the total unity achieved between the whole and each of its parts, ranging from furniture, -structure, sculptures, paintings and ornaments, to the smallest detail. Its single crossshaped nave is very narrow due to the confined site where it was erected. The interior is magnificent. Nine Churrigueresque baroque altarpieces embellish the nave and transept, and three others can be found in the Chapel of Jesus Nazarene.

Hello Oscar,

Nice shot, almost postcard-like. Maybe a bit overly sharpened, but still a good composition on how you look through the trees and show us a little bit of this beautiful town. Thanks for sharing!!

Greetings,
Dennis

What a beautiful place, Oscar. Your POV and the natural framing with all the leaves is simply great. The colors and contrast are right on spot. Two things that I would have done differently: correct the tilt to the right and place the towers a little bit off center, possible by turning the camera slightly to the left.

Hi Oscar,
A very pretty view of this scenic town, which has been well-framed by the tree branches.
Cheers Grant

Bonjour Oscar,
Jolie carte postale dans sa composition et qui met bien en valeur le monument. C'est vraiment la carte postale que le touriste pourrait trouver sur le tourniquet ! Merci.
