Looking Out of the Alhambra, a photo from Granada, Andalucia

Photographer's Note

View of the Albaicin from the Alhambra.

The neighborhood had its greatest influence at the time of the Nasrids. The Albaicin maintains the urban architecture of the Moorish period, with narrow cobblestoned maze of streets interspersed with small squares. It was declared a world heritage site in 1984, along with the famous Alhambra.

Hello May,
I remember this view in the Alhambra. To me this has always been one of the more attractive sights there.
Excellently executed with a perfect clear and sharp view of the houses and cypresses on the hill in artistic manner framed by the wonderful Moorish architecture.
Best regards, Paul

Hello May,
It is a stunning photography action done on this spot.
The sharp details, the DOF and the contrast of the outside light and sight to the inner walls in the relative darkness.
The upper hatch-windows marvelously shown.
I remember the place from 06/1998 visit - but do not have such a good quality pictures from.
My cong's for that beauty.
have a nice weekend,
Ike

Wonderful composition May with these Moorish windows providing shade and an elegant frame through which to admire the hills and houses basking in the sun. Exposure expertly handled. Regards. Klaudio.

Hello May,
The scalloped windows very typical of Moorish architecture make a delight frame for the urban scene outside. I like the contrasts in colour and texture between the whitewashed houses, the tall trees and the hillside in the background. Coincidentally, we were in Granada a week or so after you.

Hello May,
It's an excellent composition where we see the attractive town through the elegant vaults. It's like we get two photos for the price of one. A beautiful view of the buildings, hillside and trees, and a lovely example of Moorish architecture. In both cases the exposure is spot on.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello May,

Oh, this is delightful!
You have revealed the character of the town through a window which tells us so much about the architecture of the Alhambra. Who wouldn't be enticed to look through such a window and it creates a natural, artistic frame for the b/g.
You have controlled the light and the sharpness extremely well.

Have a good w/e,
Bev :-)

Bonjour May

J'aime vraiment beaucoup cette composition.Une bonne idée que d'utiliser ces ouvertures comme cadre au paysage environnant surtout qu'elles sont dentelées ce qui apporte une belle texture.

Amicalement

The Arabic windows itself are beautiful, and the view behind them is fantastic, creative idea to use these windows as a frae, my compliments Ryszard

Hello May,
What a beautiful photo of these windows and their fantastic shapes. The light was handled perfectly, so we get a wonderful view of the slopes and the town outside of the castle. Excellent photo work.

Hello May
Great view towards the Albaicin trough the old moorish window of the Alhambra. Isn't the Alhambra a true wonder of moorish architecture, I remember how flabergasted I was on our visit.
have a great time
Daniel
