South American Football Museum, a photo from Central, South

Photographer's Note

The South American continent has seen its share of incredible moments which has cemented its identity. Football is and has been a factor of extraordinary contribution in combining culture, tradition, courage, solidarity, and a better quality of life. Football is a social force for good without limits that transcends geographical boundaries.

The South American Football Museum gives out a shout of thanks to the thousands of people who have contributed to make South America a football force in the world. South America has produced some amazing protagonists who have constructed by talent and sacrifice an invaluable and unique stamp on the world.

CONMEBOL, with this museum, has put on display sublime moments for people to remember now and into the future. Moments that extol the players and that are an everlasting source of pride for the Nation of South America. This pride is shown through how organized and how institutionalized football is on this continent.

That's a fantastic modern place you manged to show, Alexandre, with so many elements draw attention: The two modern edifices, their glass reflection and the floating footballon water.
All taken under super-bright day, fine many blue tones and excelent perspective chosen.
My cong.'s.
Bom fim de semana,
Ike

Hello Alexandre,
I didn't know that a museum like that existed but I'm not surprised to hear that there's one dedicated to South American football. I know a lot about this subject and would be thrilled to visit the museum and see the evidence for all the legends we keep in our minds. I like very much the vibrant colours of your photo. The fluid reflection is eye-catching and makes an effective contrast to the solid shapes of the architectural scenery. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania

PaulVDV (54809) 2014-11-28 10:53

Hello Alexandre,
Beautiful and sharp presentation of the modern architecture with reflections of another building in the glass facade and with a giant football on the foreground.
The deep blue of the sky crossed by the white cloud lines is a wonderful backdrop.
Best regards, Paul

Hola Alexandre
El hecho de ser una de las pocas fotos de Paraguay que he visto en este sitio la hace interesante.
Magnifica luz y espléndido cielo azul.

Saludos

Hi Alex
This is a very imposing and good perspective. The modern building is good for catching the reflections too and obviously the eye-popping giant ball offers such a fantastic contrasting colours and superbly set off by deep blue sky. This is a fine capture of this impressive complex full of visual interest. Congrats, tfs
Best regards

Hi Alex,magnificent buildings and the best architechture for a football museum,the point of view is great,perfect to show us the big ball and the reflections on the glass facades,impressive sharpness and bright colors! Have a nice Sunday and thanks,Luciano

Mi piace molto la composizione che valorizza assai bene un edificio di grande valore artistico. Una bella luce e l'uso efficace di un polarizzatore hanno saputo creare un effetto fanmtastico contrapponendo all'azzurro intenso del cielo il bianco della struttura in cemento.
Uno scatto molto ben eseguito.
Complimenti
Ciao e buon inizio di settimana.
Romano

jhm (202915) 2014-12-02 4:41

Hello Alexandre,

An excellent picture with two images, one the picture and two the reflections of the other building.
An excellent perspective and depth picture.
Sharpness and clarity, makes your picture attractive.
A lovely presentation too.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

josepmarin (59385) 2014-12-02 11:08

Olá Alexandre,
me he dado cuenta que mañana vas a cumplir 10 años de participación aquí. Aunque con un día de antelación, quiero felicitarte por esta constancia y fidelidad.
Sobre la foto, debo decir que tiene una gran potencia cromática gracias a un cielo perfectamente polarizado, y un elegante contraste con la bella arquitectura blanca.
Me gustan sus formas geométricas, líneas y curvas sabiamente combinadas, así como la enorme pelota de fútbol y los reflejos sobre la gran fachada de cristal.
Gran foto, amigo.
Um abraço,
Josep

Hello Alexandre

I didn't know such a place existed. But I love your command of composition: circles, cylinders and spheres compete with hard, straight, sharp architectural masses, and the colours are strong and beautiful.

Regards

Will

Interessante a foto da bola falsificada. Dá vontade de chutar e quebrar aquela vidraceira toda lá atrás, talvez esse tenha sido o propósito. De qualquer forma, a composição ficou boa, e gostei também dos reflexos quadriculados. Ficou uma boa foto de arte moderna.

Fis2 (155547) 2014-12-27 12:07

Hi Alexandre,
I am not interested in football at all but I would be interested to visit this area. The architecture seems so attractive. The ball adds of course a very nice touch here. The sky decorates it beautifully as well.
Great geometry fantastic colors!
