Hi Ros,
Excellent POV that renders wonderful depth as we look straight through this magnificent old arch to the plaza on the other side. Very clear colors with exact details to the old stone work with very good sharpness to this photo.

Muito curioso o uso horizontal e vertical dos tijolos nas diversas partes da porta. A foto mostra-nos com grande detalhe as características das paredes e das portas. Como sempre, uma nota excellente a contar a história daquilo que estamos a ver na foto. Muito bem.

Hola Ros,
duas coisas me agradaram bastante aqui: a luminosidade e a perspectiva desse tunel, assim como sua descentralização na imagem, o que a deixa bem dinâmica. Gostei muito da foto 2 do ws em que o Sol ilumina a parede de forma bem interessante. Todas as 3 estão bem apresentáveis. Parabéns!
Saludos,
Carlos

Buenos días Ros,
Esta ciudad con muchos monumentos romances es ciertamente interesante de fotografiar. Los ws muestran bien la arquitectura hecha de piedras y ladrillos. Un monumento y una nota pasionante. Buenas imágenes, bravo.
Buen final de día
cordialmente

Ros,
o tema faz com que se acompanhe o olhar até o final do corredor.
A composição foi acertada. As pessoas bem pequenas ao fundo também é um atrativo.
Abraços,
Wagner.

Nice shot Ros, I love these details. I think these little views often tell more about a place than the big picture. Here you photo is clear and the color is fine and the slightly offset composition is very nice.

Hola Zelanda:
Me gustan estas fotos que se hacen debajo de arcos, casi siempe acostumbran a dar un buen juego y si a esto le añades que las hace una artista como tu entonces ya puede ser bestial (con perdón)
Muy bien amiga mia. Los WS y la explicación también a tu altura.
Un beso
Josep
