Piratini Palace - home of the Gaúcho government (Rio Grande do Sul Government) - had its cornerstone laid in 1909.

Hello Neyvan,
Excellent building close-up photo with very nice colors, perfect light, very good clarity. The well-chosen crop eliminates all unwanted distractions.
Very well done.

Hello Ney,
A fine capture of this impressive façade. The two figures passing by give us an idea of the scale of the building and the imposing statues. The flag adds a pleasant splash of contrasting colour. Lights, colour and clarity are all very good indeed.

Hello Neyvan,
This is a nice closeup of the facade of the great building. The tight crop gives us closeup detail with surrounding distractions. The people create a sense of scale for the shot. The lighting is fine and the photo has nice sharpness.
TFS,
Asa

Hello Neyvan,

This is a tricky image to crop and frame! The top is perfectly aligned and allows for the slight curvature from the wide angled lens. But the central verticals seem to be leaning to the left. That said, sharpness is excellent and the muted pastel colours and diffused light work well here. Effective tight framing too. Tfs!

Hello Neyvan.
Another magnificent building, which also seems to me the same era as above, you commented, so I see the city preserved the beautiful buildings of the past.
Good management of light and optimum sharpness.
Good day.
Greetings.
Luis.
