[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Cambados is a municipality in Galicia, Spain in the province of Pontevedra.

Noble town with lots of palaces, the most important of all is the Palace of Fefiñans (17th to 18th Century), in the spectacular square known by the same name, where the Church of San Benito stands, with a 16th Century façade.

Cambados was recognised as “B.I.C” or “Ben de Interés Cultural” in November 2001, which is the greatest category in Galicia regarding the protection and preservation of the monumental and cultural heritage.

Cambados is known worldwide as the capital of Albariño wine.

In this photo you can se interesting ruins of Santa Mariña Dozo, of a romanic style. On a hillock protected by a lost castle, are the ruins of the ogival church. The site, converted into an open-air cemetery under the roofless arches, has a very mysterious 19th century feel to it.

Hola Rita,

otra foto muy bonita. Has elegido muy bien la composición: los arcos desnudos en diagonal hacia la izquierda dan mucho dinamismo a la escena, dan una vista interesante de la torre y es un acierto colocar la puerta justo en la dirección natural del movimiento que tiene la foto. Muy buena idea. Lástima que el cielo te quede tan claro en el fodo, pero tampoco estorba mucho y cuentas con un bello azul a la izquierda. Muchas gracias por esta foto.

GREAT POV YOU HAVE HERE!!is all the money the diagonial balanced to the object and to the light is very superb idea...una foto exeptional...un saludo Nikiforos

Skeletons are always fascinating Rita, as is this one.
Beautiful point of view, light, ambience, composition.
Rew

Una composición muy redonda que llena la imagen y nos ayuda a reconstruir mentalmente esta iglesia.

what a wonderful composition, rita! :-)
the old stone arches that used to carry a roof look a bit like
ribs on a skeleton. good idea to show only parts of them
and the tower in the bg peeking through the openings.
this would maybe look good in b&w, too?
terrific job & best wishes, thorsten.

Hola Rita.

Después de lo que ha escrito Ángel no me veo en condiciones de escribir mucho más en la foto.
Solo reafirmar que es un buen trabajo.

Carlos.
