Photographer’s Note

Borrowing "Tweety"´s technic, this is a reflection view of "El Patio de los Arrayanes" (Court of the Myrtles) located inside of "El Alhambra" in Granada. The Alhambra is the most famous monument in the world, and the most interesting in Granada, dated from the XIIIrd century. It stands on the top of a reddish soil hill and the colour might be the origin of the name Alhambra. When you first see the Alhambra, you may be surprised by its somewhat somber exterior. You have to walk across the threshold to discover the true delights of this Moorish palace. The Alhambra is a "must" see monument, when you visit Granada.

Good colors and good reflexion on the water, but what calls for more attention here is the creative idea you had to turn it upside down. Well done!

Hi Jorge, you chose a good symmetrical POV of this great courtyard, the idea of play with the water and the reflections creates a great result. Perfect, very well done. This is a kind of shot I will like to do one day. TFS and best regards.

Bonne idée d'avoir inversé la photo. C'est très intéressant de voir le reflet en premier.

Ohh... vista en pequeño no se sabe lo que luego se puede ver.
Al verla en grande me ha sorprendido y he de decir que me gusta mucho.
Muy buena la idea.

I see you have visited the Alhambra also! Good play on this photo, you have managed to avoid the cliche by being a bit quirky with your presentation!

Good idea it works well!

Hola Jorge, no soy muy partidario de la fotos invertidas pero tu composición no pierde belleza, los reflejos son bonitos y los colores y las formas ondulantes en al agua están muy bien.

Felicidades por tu buen trabajo.

Un abrazo desde España ....... Paco
