this photo is of the tomar castle entrance...

Tomar is a charming and historically outstanding town on the banks of the Nabγo River. It is dominated by a 12th-century Templar castle containing one of the country's most significant and impressive monuments, the Convent of Christ (declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO).

The main shopping street, the pedestrian Rua Serpa Pinto, leads to the Gothic Church of Sγo Joγo Baptista, on Praηa da Repϊblica, the town's elegant main square surrounded by 17th-century buildings. The 15th century church has an elegant Manueline portal and inside are 16th century paintings, including a Last Supper by Gregσrio Lopes, one of the finest of the country's 16th century artists

Hello Marianna,
Already long ago I did not entertain at Your portfolio Marianna. I'am sorry, but some how so became - the harm... There pleases to me this picture - there is splendidly composed. Courageously the fortress even that perfectively. Brave POV against the light with the splendid chiaroscuro. Deep inside the noted contour- profile of castle and the beautiful work of lights on stones dear and bulwarks. The picture performed with the large taste. The excellent work Marianna.
Best regards from Poznan,
Jurek

Geia sou Marianna!

The composition, the framing and especially the perspective are flawless! You had some problems with the light though, the upper part of the castle is a little bit too dark. Maybe, return a diferent hour of the day?
