Matteo,
This is a nicely composed shot of this fortress. The placement of the fortress works well here allowing us to see the valley on the opposite side. The inclusion of the rocks in the foreground adds depth to the scene. The lighting and colors are nice here as is the photo's sharpness.
TFS,
Asa
