Default Notre Dame de Saigon

Here are some photos of this church, it is the most famous church in Saigon and was built by French a long tim ago.
It is like a symbol of the city.

These shots was taken at noon and i covered them by the color like tobacco to make them have the ancient look, is that ok? Do you like these shots? Do you hate them? Leave me some comments for my later improvement

1. The church from the side


2. The church from the front


3. Mother Maria


In my opinion I like the last photo best 'cause i can see the peace in it.

Hi there Yinyang. Welcome to our friendly SYS forum here at DPS. These are very nice captures of this old church. All great but the second one is my favourite from the set. I like the angle from which you took this one. Thanks for sharing this lovely church.
Enjoy your time here and have fun.

Jake.

I like old buildings, they seem to have more character than modern ones in my opinion. You have done a good job with these pictures, I really like them. I do like the last one best though,it`s really sharp and with the light blue sky in the background it has a surreal look about it, I look forward to seeing more of your pictures.

Hello and welcome. Number three is my favorite. I like number two as well. The only thing that really stands out to me is the slight slant to the Mother Maria statue. That can be easily corrected in photo shop or photo elements.

Keep up the good work, peace be with you.
