Nice sharpness and POV.
I do not like the buildings on the right, but they are there!

Very nice, detailed shot. The clouds and sky color really add to the shot.

Great composition and lines that perfectly captures the watchtower and throw in a dramatic sky for good measure. However, its a bit too sharp for my taste, but good overall Marco.

Verdadeiramente dramático o ceu em contraste com o Forte de Peniche. O ângulo foi bem conseguido.
Parabéns pelo trabalho.

Beautiful and very elegant shot, Marco. Good sharpness and saturation of colour too. I also like your simple framing. Nice work!

Great contrast & lights between rocky-tower and sky Marco.
You choise also for a very good framework here.
Well done. Bravo.
Regards, Don.

Very good composition in this shot of the fortress, Marco. The contrast and sharpness are at an optimum, as the textural details of the stone walls and rocks in the foreground are extremely well rendered. The sky looks as if it should be in a painting, and makes a beautiful topping. Great photo, congratulations.

Dear Mark.As someone coming to attack this fort from this angle,I could sense the enormity of battling this fort.And with the dark clouds, it creates a foreboding atmosphere.

Excelente imagem. As tonalidades sóbrias e os detalhes e texturas das pedras são excelentes bem como o ponto de vista que põe em evidência a guarita e a muralha, mas que pela diagonal empurra o nosso olhar para o horizonte.

Só o edificio oa fundo nesessitava de uma correcção de geometria.

Favorita.

Gosto do enquadramento bastante informativo, das cores muito naturais, e da finissima textura do ceu. Otimo trabalho Marco.
