Photographer’s Note
Escondida por entre as serras de S. Mamede e Penha, eis que se ergue, pacata e serena, Portalegre, cidade do Alto Alentejo. Foi lá que tirei esta foto.
Cidade sossegada, escondida no fundo de um vale, onde o sol nasce sorridente. Capela do Calvário - Datada do século XVII, fica situada no alto de um monte e é considerada um marco da arquitectura portuguesa da época pós-pombalina.Colocado num ponto elevado, tem no adro um cruzeiro de pedra mármore, assente numa base quadrada, e sobre ela uma circunferência também em mármore, com caveiras esculpidas.
Hidden among the mountain ranges of S. Mamede and Penha, here it is that it is risen, peaceful and night love song, Portalegre, city of the High Alentejo. It was there that I took off this photo. Quiet city, hidden in the deep one of a valley, where the sun is born smiling. Chapel of the Calvário - Dated of century XVII, she is situated in the high one of a mount and is considered a landmark of the Portuguese architecture of the time after-Marquês Pombal. Placed in a raised point, it has in the entrace a rock cruise marble, it seats in a square shaped base, and on it a circumference in marble, with skulls also sculptured.

Hi, Patricia. The photo is well composed with the road leading to the chapel and the trees on the left adding contrast and depth. The chapel stands out well against the sky. However, I think there is too much noise in the sky. For such a picture, I think opening at f/8 or even f/10 would have worked better than f/4.5, which doesn't give a very good depth of field.
Have a nice evening,
Philippe
