Hola Josep,
el mèrit és teu, amic meu, has fet una foto nocturna amb bona tècnica i amb un resultat encomiable.
La nitidesa de la imatge i dels colors així ho demostren, així com l'eliminació del sempre molest soroll.
M'agrada aquest polèmic edifici, tot i que la seva il·luminació està molt mal aprofitada per les limitacions imposades per l'ajuntament, però quan està encès, és una meravella.
Maca foto.
Una abraçada,
Josep
