[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another hermitage I hadn't shown yet. It's the most important place of worship of Aljustrel, a small town not far from Beja. Situated on the top of a hill, this 16th century little hermitage is devoted to Our Lady of the Castle, because in this place we can still find the ruins of an old castle from the Islamic period.Inside the church, there are still the remains of a rock where it is said that Our Lady has once appeared.

Comment ne pas être attiré pas ces couleurs et cet architecture !
Belle réalisation
(peut-être qu'il manque une madone en noir traversant la rue :o))
bonne soirée

Hi Ana,

a very nice "Under the arches" view of this hermitage. Very nice colours and excellent details. Very Portugese ;-). Great shot. TFS

A beautiful picture and the framing is SUPERB!!! Really wonderful colors and sharpness. TFS

Olá Ana,
Que POV lindo! Estas flores e este arco dando vista à igreja - um primor de composição!
Uma luz clara e perfeitamente captada. Parabéns!

Mas que enquadramento tão bonito! As três cores estão fantásticas e combinam muito bem. Gosto muito.

I like the way, the chapel is naturally framed in between the arch which stands out perfectly under the blue sky and the roses on each side of the image. The branch shadows on the immaculate white wall is also a detail that i appreciate too!
Best regards from Paris

P.S Thanks for your words (on your last critic) for my mum! She is actually better :)

Olá Ana, you are one of the best photographers who catch the real essence of Alentejo. This region is full of those beautiful pastoral churches. This is one of them and your perspective is really excellent to include many beautiful components (the arch, red roses, white church and the blue sky) in the photo. Best regards, Tolga

Hi Ana,
Good idea to use the archway as a viewing hole for the white chapel. Also the use of the red roses on the left and the right side in the foreground is really great.
Regards,
Eddie

Olá Ana,
esse POV seu ficou ótimo, além de ter criado um borda natural, as flores enriqueceram bem a composição também. Belo Trabalho.
Parabéns e Abraço!

Olá Anabela,
great flower arrangement in that blue and white with the pavement of cobblestone. I like this good exposure and the view through the gate. The play of shadows is lovely.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Olá Anabela,
Nossa Senhora do Castelo?
Afinal não é só na minha terra :-)

Está um enquadramento magnífico, ainda mais com as flores.

Ciao Ana,
bellissima chiesetta incorniciata con l'arco, mi piace il bianco che contrasta a meraviglia con l'azzurro del cielo.
buona gestione della luce e bellissimi colori.
ottimo lavoro
Giorgio

Ola Ana
Gosto muito do enquadramento e das lindas rosas vermelhas. Uma forma diferente de nos mostrares mais um capela.
Abraços
Aires

Olá Ana. POV perfeito, cores maravilhosas. 5* pelo menos. Abraço. Paulo

Nicely framed through the arch, Ana, and the colour of the roses is brilliant, it makes a lovely image. regards kevin

Hello Ana,
Lovely framing of this beautiful church!
The gate makes a great frame and the roses add colour and a touch of nature...
A well balanced composition, well exposed under difficult conditions!
Greetings,

Olá Ana,

Grande POV, gosto das cores e definição, boa esta moldura artificial em arco com que tu emolduras a pequena capela.

Um abraço,
Filipe

Hi Ana,
I like this compo with chapel through the arch and these colorful flowers on each side, looks real neat! Excellent exposure of the white walls and sharp as a razor!
Greetings
Laurent

Hi Ana, A very well composed photo, the roses in the foreground add some superb colour &, the view through the arch is perfect to show the little chapel behind, kind regards Wilson.

Olá Ana!
Gostei muito desta foto, cujo enquadramento é muito caprichoso, com a inclusão das belas flores em primeiro plano. A moldura em arco destaca muito bem a igreja e ainda apresenta belas sombras como detalhes extras. O chão de pedras também dá a sua parcela de contribuição à composição, que é realmente nota 10. Parabéns pela ótima execução!
Abraços,
Zeca

Bonjour Ana!
Quelle jolie prise de vue de cette chapelle d'un blanc immaculé à travers l'arche ombragée et décorée de belles roses!
La composition est magnifique!
Merci du partage!
MarieLouise.

hi ana,
i very well like the composition. smart of you to place the main church image "inside" the arch of the FG building...and the blooming red roses shy away the redundant white!
Benedict

Hello Anabela, I like your perspective looking through the arch to the church. The flowers either side are a very colourful addition, they contrast well with the white and I like the shadows on the wall too. It's a very fine capture and well seen.

Regards

Stephen

Ana,

Que bonita entrada com as lindas flores a fazerem a honra,neste caso,não da casa mas do tunel e a convidarem-nos a entrar na fotografia e ver a simples capela.
Bonita composição
