Hola Charo
Very nice and impressive castle that appeals to the lover of all things medieval in me, the weather was cloudy but you got here that essential light to warm the structures, enlarging the view to include the city around was also a good idea to show how it dominates the place.
Have a nice day JY

Bonjour, mon amie Charo,
Ah ! le château est remarquablement mis en valeur à travers cette composition. Ces tours carrées s'élevant jusqu'aux nuages prennent toute leur force. J'aime la particularité des créneaux en forme de pointe. La composition prend une bien jolie tournure avec ce ciel bas.
Amitiés.

Bonjour Charo,
La lumière et le ciel nuageux t'ont permis la réalisation d'un très belle image d'architecture médiévale. La netteté est remarquable. J'apprécie les ws très intéressants qui précisent la vue de la forteresse. Un très beau travail. Félicitations.
Bonne journée

Hallo Charo. Auch das heutige Photo zeigt die gewohnte Qualität. Besonders interessant empfinde ich den Kontrast zwischen den kleinen Häusern und der wuchtigen Burganlage. Auch die Komposition ist wieder absolut vorbildlich. In der Tat ein gut beschriebenes Bild für TE. Kompliment. Viele Grüße, wolfgang.

Hola mi amiga Charo,
This is wonderful view of the castle Sabugal. Your same levelled point of view created an amazing view in excellent clarity and sharpness. Cloudy sky, dark clouds and village texture are great addition with their red roofs. Especially low angled latest day lights on allover scene are great. Congratulations. Have a nice weekend.
Saludos cordiales,

Hola amiga Charo,
el cielo cargado de nubes tiene un buen papel en esta escena, amenazando tormenta, o después de ella, atendiendo el sol que ilumina este bonito pueblo y su castillo. Esto crea un buen juego de claros y oscuros sobre los elementos, sobre todo la arquitectura medieval del castillo rodeada de casas más sencillas y tradicionales.
El conjunto es armónico y elegante, me gusta. Los WS complementan muy bien el trabajo, especialmente el de la torre con los tonos dorados del sol, y la nota es muy informativa.
Un fuerte abrazo para los dos,
Pili y Josep

Hola Charo,
Aun no miré con atención a mis fotos de aquí. Me gustaría que la mía desde este PdV fuera tan buena como esta tuya, así como las de los WS's. Aprovechaste muy bien la combinación de la luz de sol poniente con la nube escura arriba, que realza la posición altiva del castillo.
Cualquier de los WS's merecería un poste principal, aunque que me parezca que el del contraluz presenta una ligera distorsión de barril y de perspectiva.
Un abrazo,
José
