[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Lisbon is the capital and largest city of Portugal.
Lisbon is the westernmost capital in mainland Europe. It is located in the west of the country, on the Atlantic Ocean coast at the point where the river Tagus flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
The historic centre of Lisbon is built on seven hills, making some of the city's streets too steep.
The oldest district of the city is Alfama, close to the Tagus, which has made it relatively unscathed through the various earthquakes. The view from this terrace, Miradouro de Santa Luzia spans the tiled roofs of the Alfama towards the Tagus River.

Hi Alana,
Rich deep colours. I see a lot of editing, but that's for these kind of pictures a must, and you did great on this one.
Like the composition and the way the clouds are coming in from left to right.
Excellent work...great shot..!!!
Regards, Henk

Lovely shot Alana - a very nice perspective on this area of the city - one of my favourites for sure - as you do so well and often you have wedded landscape and sky so expertly the beauty of the scene shines out - the light handling is superb.

best wishes Kev

Very nice light here, Alana, especially I like how the church is highlighted. Good composition and an amazing sky. The ship is a great addition!

Cheers
Alexander

I think this is great. You've captured beautiful colour and texture in the sky, and the view over the red rooves of the town is stunning.
Really good.

hi alana,
marvellous, as much as lisbon can be,
was there 2 months ago and my fascination with the place is endless;
as endless is the beauty of this cityscape, under that "heavy" sky;
love these contrasts and intensive colours;
best wishes, jerzy

Hi Alana, what a great picture, this is in the style of "capthaddock" (my prefered photographer here on TE), seen from above, wonderful POV. Your sky is excellent, high contrasts of red roofs and the city are marvelous, you are definitely a great photographer !! Always a delight to have a look in your gallery :)
Have an excellent afternnon :)

nice comp. and detail, but looks to have a cyan color cast to it. tfs.

very nice one Alana,
a good composition, good with the details and fikne with the light. try to look to the balance. a shot like this one in a 1/3 -2/3 balance is also very nice and would be perfect. good job.

The colours here are absolutely amazing and unique. Did you use any kind of filter to receive such an effect?
Great place to live.
