Georgia O'Keefe, a photo from New Mexico, West

Photographer's Note

This is the San Francisco de Asis in Taos, New Mexico. It is one of the most photographed and painted churches in the United States, most notably painted by Georgia O'Keefe. The church's walls are made of thick adobe bricks and the lines and edges are smoothed out to give it a quite pleasant feel. The large and thicl butresses make this a unique building studied by architects as well as artists.

The polarization and saturation are perfect. And I had never seen this one before, thanks for sharing! At the fist look, I thought it was in Egypt, or somewhere like that! Very sharp, well done.

wonderful, blue New Mexican sky. very nice exposure. perhaps less different angle to make your photo different from the many others.

great colours and compo. good to see the tap there by the entrance. gives you the chance
to cool down after the long walk to church, because it looks seriously hot from your picture ;)

thanks for sharing.

Nice shot. I especially appreciate the shadows of the roof thingies (I've been to NM enough to know they have a name, but not enough to remember it!
Best,
Mike
P.S. Green!
