Image of the tower of the Cathedral of San Isidro.

The cathedral of San Isidro is located in front of the Mitre plaza, where the previous image denominated Totals Thanks... Sidewalk Artist was captured.

The building, located in the neighborhoods of the place where -in 1706- Domingo de Acassuso erected the primitive chapel, is of neon-gothic style and was constructed, between 1895 and 1898, by architects Dunant and Paquín.

Their dimensions are: 19 meters of wide, 60 meters of large and the height of its tower is of 69 meters. It has three ships, vitraux of French origin and capacity for 3,000 people.

It lodges valuable images, among them two of San Isidro Labrador, one of who data of principles of century XIX and the other - from present time it comes from Spain.

There is a stature of Santa Maria de la Cabeza, century XVIII. The venerated relic more is a piece of the body incorrupt of San Isidro, sent by the king of Spain, Alfonso XIII, in 1929.

May 15 is commemorated the sainted celebration.

Superbe. La focale est la bonne car dans un panorama comme celui là, on a vite fait de "tordre" le monument. Bravo.

A great vertical cropping you did,very fine,Ricardo.

Bellisima imagen Ricardo. Me gusta mucho el contraste de los colores de la Catedral con el cielo azul y el juego de luz y sombra en la parte inferior de la foto.

jrj (34843) 2004-09-02 10:47

Nice shot, well cropped, good perspective. I am not so much in favour of the shadowed framing. Well done Ricardo

orme (7219) 2004-09-02 11:09

Another great 'vertical' panoramic shot, Ricardo. A cathedral or church is perfect for this type of shot, because of the architectural detail - which you have shown wonderfully. Excellent clarity and soft colours too. Very well done.

DonQ (2625) 2004-09-02 11:27

You made it great job here Ricardo.
Cathedral is beautiful and you let us see it in whole beautiness, even a LP you did.
I love this one. I can see a big improvement of your works every day. Congratulations, and thanks for sharing.
Regards, Don.

hdl (7035) 2004-09-02 13:07

Very neat capture! It is sharp, the colours are very good and the details are nicely visible. The angle gives an impressive look to the tower. Nice work.

maphoto (8082) 2004-09-02 18:50

Very nice perspective and wonderful blue sky, great architecture and colors, well done.

pamastro (7296) 2004-09-02 23:51

This is a very impressive photograph. Very crisp. Very good detail. Very good color. Excellent lighting. And you get the whole tower nicely. It soars above us and the vertical panorama is a great way to really explore the tower while scrolling up. Your point of view seems to do great justice to this tower. Very nice work.

HI Ricardo,

Great photo this one. I like the angle, details and colors.

Very well done

Jeppe (18654) 2004-09-04 14:04

Very fine panorama of excellent quality - I like the fine view of the tower and the great details - you did a good job here Ricardo - thanks for sharing.

nwoehnl (122) 2004-09-04 14:05

Another wonderful vertical large posting you're giving us here, Ricardo. Of course a church tower is what this technique is made for. The detail is supreme, the colors and sharpness are great, and the stitching is carried out perfectly. Great job.

ChrisJ (172372) 2004-09-05 4:21

Nicely cropped & framed, sharp, good color, & an excellent note. Bravo.

albiback (8751) 2004-09-05 4:40

A photograph and a composition which raise us in a beautiful light. great work

prcr (36) 2004-09-05 6:42

very well done - the perspective is really great as two sides of the tower are visible and there's a straight vertical line going along the corner made by the two sides.

you also managed to capture well both the parts where light is shining and those in the shade!

the colours are beautiful and i like the saturated blue of the sky.

cmartos (242) 2004-09-06 17:11

This is a wonderful architecture shot. Very well realized, it's so unusual to see large posts in vertical framing. Very good lighting, very sharp, excellent contrast and colours too. I think that you rendered this tower at its best, not easy to do, a very fine shot and a superb work Ricardo!

avigur_11 (22553) 2004-09-07 13:20

Beautiful and extra sharp large view of this tower. ThE regular version looks great with the narrow frame, but the large one is shocking. Very well aptured, Ricardo.

joseelias (0) 2004-09-09 7:44

Fabulous view of this beautiful tower. Colors, clarity and details are excelent even in the small version. Just miss to see the top and the bottom of the towers, especially a bit of the stairs.

jhonny_blue (4956) 2004-09-17 4:02

Fantastic composition and croop ! The colours and details are fantastic !
Congratulations

roconnell (327) 2004-10-08 23:03

Bonjour Bertrand
Perspective verticale épatante et finesse des plus petits détails bien rendue.
Le format panoramique renforce la majesté de cet détail de l'édifice.
Amicalement.
