Hola John,
hay una buena combinación de arquitectura y naturaleza en este encuadre. Me gusta el paisaje con esas montañas que le dan carácter, y cómo contrasta con un cielo muy hermoso bien decorado de nubes muy estéticas.
La imagen está bien equilibrada y tiene una luminosidad espléndida, con bellos colores.
Me gusta, es muy atractiva.
Un abrazo, mi amigo.
