Rejean - I've never been to Spain, but I always associate its cities with the same golden tones you have here - even the water has a golden cast to it in this shot, the result no doubt of later light. Nice perspective on the plaza, though a couple of the spires are cut off just before the top - still, we get a sense of the grandeur of it, and the scale. Well seen.

Excellent photograph with warm colours !! The colour of the walls, the craftmanship with oriental and arab influences are impressed in the old buildings of the place. Its common place that the minarets during the chaliphate had been made into bell towers after the catholic "re-conquista".
The fountains add to the charm of the scene.
The saturation of the colours adds to the depth and sharpness but in the process - the sky is lost.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Rejean
A beautiful selection of spires and towers make this, for me, a very intriguing shot, and contrasting very well with the modern building in the lower left. Great use of light and colour, and a brilliant composition.
Best wishes
Noel

Des couleurs riches mais douces tout à la fois avec un point de vue très bien choisi avec le cadrage des tours. J'aime bien la lumière dans cette image.

Meilleures salutations

Bonsoir Réjean,

La distance entre la fontaine et le clocher donne de la profondeur à la composition. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails et les couleurs de l'architecture des immeubles. La bonne luminosité rehausse la beauté des couleurs. Bonne soirée.

Bonjour Rejean,
The mingle modern architecture's and older style is an intriguing subject for photographers.
POV with the fontana gave good depth-of-field, 12 turrets (one is obsecurred by the big tower) also impossible to take all in one shot - but a beautiful elements in the whole scene.
Au revoir,
Ike
