Hi LeeLoo,

Usually I'm not crazy about strong black frames like this but here it's a very good fit. It gives the impression of looking through a high but narrow window.
Actually it looks more like a bookmark than a postcard. Nice crop, interesting architecture. On first glance I thought the colourful patters were rugs but I guess they are mosaics?

Thanks for sharing, best wishes
Claudia

Hi LEE,
Strange frame nice and calm space in lower part and harsh stony mood in upper area. I like ceramic work combine with summer flowers.

Lee, I'm dying to see the rest of the monastery. Did you crop this or what? It doesn't look like a postcard anymore, instead it's more a bookmark to me :). You added some old touch in this photo, love it.

Hello Leeloo

This photo is unique again.
I think size is too slender, but this uniqueness is your character, so that is good for you on contrary, Great job !

Best regards
Takero

Hello Leeloo,
congratulations for your photos. This photo I like very much for the choice of composition of the cut that enhances the close of the bell tower atezza. Beautiful colors, loses a bit in sharpness. and the sky has not helped. Bravo, however,

Hi Lee,

I think it could be a great idea to make a complete series with postcards with this size and form.
It will be a beautiful view to look at a gallery with a lot of this original pictures next to each other.

Tomar, é uma cidade maravilhosa, ainda só lá fui uma vez e gostei muito. Este olhar do mosteiro ficou muito bonito, é sem dúvida um belo postal desta bela cidade.

Hello Lee Loo,
The narrow vertical frame makes me focus on the detail of the ceramics and the stone bricks on the castle. It makes me think and imagine that in this particular place something important occured.
Best regards,

Hello Lee!!

Very good idea to post this large size on vertical...it gives a sense of the wall size...your colour option fits really well.

Congratulations.

Have a nice day.

lee

nice vision in a vertical format of this marvelous architecture. I liked the framing but I think it would be better a litle more wide, leting the bell tower more visible, beautiful these flowers in the lower area.
