    Some night shots of Ouro Preto at Christmas Time - SET 2

    Dear fellows,

    After the first set of images of the historical city of Ouro Preto, here are some night shots, taken during my visit to the city, last Christmas. If you havent checked the first thread and would like to do it, here is the link: The historical city of Ouro Preto - SET 1. C&C welcomed, as always. I hope you enjoy them! Cheers,

    #1 - Church of Saint Francis

    Spectacular shots. Was #1 converted into a painting? It does look like one...

    Love these ones too...I particularly love #2. I am confused about the last one. I was trying to find the side of the building because there are windows...

    All stunning. Again the church is my favourite and I think it is even more beautiful in the evening light. I also like #4 a lot, although I'm not really sure why, perhaps just the beautiful light and detail, and the sense of exploring the streets beyond.

    Hi, Richard. Thanks for your kind words. Regarding number 1, I just processed it pushing contrasts and clarity quite hard. Also, highlight and shadows tool contributed to this "painting" aspect.

    Thanks for passing by. Cheers,

    Great work, Otavio. The first image is the best, IMO.

    Hello, Christina! Thanks for your feedback. What I liked most on #4 is also the light reflected on the old house walls. That is what made me include it here. Regards,
