huesca and pyrenees of huesca, spain the cloister of San Juan de la Peña II

San Juan de la Peña is an area with a landscape of notable beauty that proudly proclaims the most profound historical roots of the ancient Kingdom of Aragon. San Juan de la Peña Monastery was built between the final years of the ninth century and the beginning of the tenth century, and It was pantheon of the Monarchs of Aragon.

The romanesque cloister of San Juan de la Peña built in the 12th century, this is the most important part of the monastery and It´s sheltered under the rock of the mountain, which functions as a natural vault and turns this into the only cloister in the world with such a shelter. It is worth remarking on its romanesque capitals dating back to the 12th and 13th century.

Critique and comments are welcome.

Nice compostion, the colours are harmonious and soothing. I really like this old architecture, and what a wealth of it you have down there in España. It would have perhaps been a little more striking had the light been a little more favourable, some shadows from the columns for example. Regards Mark.

Me gusta mucho la composición y especialmente como has controlado perfectamente la verticalidad de las lineas. Si me pidieran ser un poco exigente, diria que no estaria mal incluir la figura de una persona para dar escala al motivo, pero me temo que esto es ya cuestion de gusto personal :)

Un encuadre cerrado, original en ese maravilloso claustro

Bonito encuadre y bonito claustro bicromático!

the composition in your other photograph of the cloister seems to work much better. Here you are closer to the pillar and at slightly lower level; neither arch nor pillars seem to be getting adequately highlighted. the red color of the figurines also seems to clash (cant do anything about that ofcourse). Seems like a very calm and inspiring place. My comments are ofcourse, in comparison with your other photograph.

I like this version better than the other one I commented on. The colors are much more vibrant as the light is more intense. Compared to this one, that one seems a little flat. I like being able to see the detail in the top of the columns and how the bottom of the wall keeps the eye in the image. The side of the first column is a little dark and the detail is a little lost. The top of the arches are a little blown out and I think that there might be some tonal and textural detail lost there as well. But I guess that is the sacrifice you make to get the saturated colors.

Beautiful - the capitals and supported arches combine for a satisfying visual. The color of the capitals also works well to grab attention and move the observer's view toward the right side of the image and then around the periphery of the square. Impressive place and photo!

excelente toma! Me gusta la forma en que han quedado destacados los relieves y el color pastel general. Quizá una persona en el centro de este patio, le daría un poco más de vida...

 

PD: veo que tienes una carpeta con demasiadas tomas, sugiero la subdividas en varias carpetas de no más de 15 o 20 tomas, eso le daría más oportunidad a las tomas nuevas. En el caso de conexiones telefónicas como la mía, lleva mucho tiempo descargar las últimas... ¡Saludos!
