Old Glories of an old Kingdom Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a monastery 60km away from Valencia, situated in a valley which seems the Eden, really It's near a town called Simat de la Valldigna, and the Monastery is Monasteri de la Valldigna. It was constroyed on the 14th century, I think. Now it's a State monument. It was constroyed by the king of an old kingdom situated in Valencia, Catalonia and Balearic Islands.
Note: It's called "Valldigna" because the king though it was a valley worthy of having a religious temple on it. (in Catalan: Vall - Valley. Digna/e - Worthy).

Welcome to TE. Very good shot to begin. Next time try to use all the dimension you have at your disposal: 800 pixel. By this way you can grant a better view.
Good contrast with the blue sky. Good depth in the image. Well done!

Welcome to TE.
Effectively, the colors are nice and the composition is good for this first contribution. The subject is interesting and well presented. It's a little pity the picture is not sharper (but it's probably due to the scan ?) and I would like to see one that use the 800 Pi max allowed by the site. Nice contribution, anyway, thanks for sharing !
