[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Torres Vedras is the name of my city town, this name is probably a corruption of the latim name Turres Veteres wich translated to portuguese should had result in Torres Velhas (Old Towers).
Why Old Towers? Well i think noboy really knows the response to that, but maybe one explanation might be because when the romans found/occupied it it already had some defenses and towers...
This photo shows the oldest part of the city and if still exists some glimpse of the Turres Veteres should be around there, somewhere...

Hello Daniel,
Great capture, makes me want to visit this place. One small point, on my monitor the whole scene looks just a bit flat. I agree with Johnathon, a little bit more gamma would help. Wonderful shot though.
Cheers
Peter

beautiful place, interesting contrast and light, i just think i would add a little bit more gamma, just personal taste, this shot is very good, indeed the moment is excellent judging how this place is enlightened

Oi Daniel ,
Bonita foto de Torres com cores suaves o sol já devia estar baixo tens uma zona iluminadas e outras em sombra gostei de ver , bons detalhes capturados , gostei da nota , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

Há já algum tempo que não te via e por conseguinte esta também tinha escapado. Aqui é a luz que está muito boa ao criar cores quentes e boas sombras.
Não sabia que Torres Vedras tinha dois níveis de muralhas. É interessante.
