[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Jerónimos Monastery (Mosteiro dos Jerónimos) is located in the Belém district of Lisbon, Portugal. It is classified with nearby Torre de Belém (you can see it here) a World Heritage Site.
The existing structure was started on the orders of Manuel I to commemorate Vasco da Gama's, Portuguese explorer, successful return from India. Construction of the monastery began in 1502 and took 50 years to complete
The monastery, like the nearby Torre de Belém, symbolizes the Portuguese Age of Discovery and is among the main tourist attractions of Lisbon.

Hi Alana

You achieved really great effect with circular polarizer it looks amazingly and i hope that you get a great number of points because this picture undoubtedly deserve credit.

Excellent POV, and what a beautiful sky you got here. The saturation is strong but not exagerated. I like your photograph Alana, good work.

Hi Alana,

Bonjour Alana,
ici c'est une fois de plus le ciel qui séduit, mais aussi la parfaite maitrise des lumières, un PP très utile par NeatImage, un ciel réellement clean.
Bien réussi.
Daniel.

Hi Alana,

I've checked out some of your pictures, and they look surreal; especially this one. The sky almost looks fake (that's a good thing!). Really a great shot. Thanks for sharing..

Have you ever used DxO? It might be of use on some of your lens distortion...on the shots where you aren't trying to emphasise it.

Another well conceived image.

GREAT ! Fantastic ! It's magic
