Castle of the Christian Monarchs II, a photo from Cordoba, Andalucia

Photographer's Note

Castle of the Christian Monarchs with a duplicate reflection in the ornamental goldfish pond, or perhaps they are koi? I liked the dark, fishy shapes deeper down in the fg water, below the reflected tower roof.

Hello Chris,
An attractive view of the castle and its reflections. Lacking people here the fish, whatever kind they are, do well to add life to the view. I like the well saturated colours.
Regards,
Gert

Bonjour Chris,

Les reflets sur l'eau sont des atouts à la composition. La prise de vue permet de voir les détails du château des Monarques chrétiens. La lumière fait ressortir la beauté des couleurs. Bonne journée.

Hello Chris,
A great photo of this impressive tower of the castle and the surrounding greenery, walls and stairs. The reflection is wonderful as well and has got a nice blue and green hue. The large orange fish in the middle is a great bonus.

Hi Chris,
great quality photograph as usually. I am impressed that we can even spot the fish in the pond here. I had the pleasure to visit Cordoba as well. May be I need to check my photos from this lovely town again.
Very photogenic and less popular spot here,
Great reportage,
M

Best regards MAlgo

Managed a distinct reflection of the castle, Chris.
I see that the fishs enjoy this light as well...
We were there in 06-1998, the place did not change since.
Have a nice holidays week,
Ike

Hello Chris.
A wonderful composition, with that magnificent tower of the Alcázares, fantastic as it is reflected in the pond, palm trees and trees greatly embellish the image.
Very good color that enhances the image.
Superb brightness and sharpness management to enjoy the details.
Well seen and done. I like it.
Very best regards.
Luis.
