Bom trabalho António! Efectivamente é uma livraria simplesmente fabulosa, como a sua foto demonstra bem. Já conhecia algumas imagens mas nunca visitei. Uma boa perspectiva a dar-nos um pouco do requinte de que é feita esta obra de arte.

An absolute treasure! The red staircase leads the eye up and brings perspective! This really is an extremely beautiful picture!

What a fantastic place Antonio, and you stood in exactly the right place to present it to us. You've dealt with the interior lighting very well. Could it be rotated just a little CW though?

It is indeed a beautiful bookstore! The color and lighting you captured was superb. Those stairs look like an optical illustion.

É certamente uma livraria bonita! A cor e o lighting que você capturou eram superb. Aquelas escadas olham como um illustion ótico.

Very impressive architecture and very well photographed Antonio!
I like the warmth of the colours and the row of lights at both sides. And I'm just crazy about bookstores anyway... :o)

Beatiful place..amazing architechture. This seems like the heaven of all book worms :).
This might be a bit over exposed, but still a great photo. Well done.

I agree that this is probably the most beautiful bookstore in the world. Looks almost like a church. And you've captured it so well. The symmetry works well here. It's nice and sharp from front to back (you must have used a tripod). And the available light gives a beautiful golden glow.

Really wonderful bookstore! Great composition and colors, nice soft light. But I think that below part is a little overexposed.

Very nice perspective indeed. What focale did you use ?
However, it is not really symetric.

Composição excelente com grandes cores e detalhes. Sem duvida deve ser a livraria mais bela do mundo!
