I dig the contrat. The white buildings really catch my eye. Have you tried a b&w conversion on this yet? I don't think it would work as well but it would be cool to see none the less.

God Bless,

I like this one. Nice contrast.

This is beautiful, Rui. I, too, love the contrast with the red and white

As everyone else has stated, love the contrast on this image.

Specially at the request of David, here is the B&W version and a "bonus" - the same in sepia. I´d like to get your opinions. Which one is better? I like the sepia too...

One vote for sepia. Still prefer the original though.

Now that I see this at home, I like the b&w one better than the sepia. The contrast shows better (at least on my monitor) better than the color and sepia one. Nicely done Rui.

God Bless,
David

The original Rui is my first choice. Very nice contract btween the colors and the whites.
