I've enhanced the highlights in the sky a little, by adding some red & yellow, but this was taken late afternoon. I liked the graphism of the 2 palm trees framed by the arch.

"Mission San Xavier del Bac is situated in the Santa Cruz Valley nine miles south of Tucson, Arizona. Framed in the warm browns of the surrounding hills and the violet shadows of more distant mountains, it rises, brilliantly white from the desert floor of dusty green mesquite and sage. The imposing dome and lofty towers, the rounded parapets and graceful spires etched against the vivid blue complete a skyline with a graceful enchantment."

Hi Chris,
The scene looks like it could be in Greece or in Mexico. A very handsome composition of Mission San Xavier aided by natural framing. The red and yellows are quite subtle and imparts a smooth romantic impression, your pp work is good. Cheers and have a good weekend.

Hi Chris,

The mission is very interesting from an architectural viewpoint. I like how you've framed the shot through the entrance arch. The palm trees and large cactus are well seen and add nice graphism to the shot. TFS

Best regards,
