Me encanta el contraste de las nubes, con esa zona mas clara enmarcando el castillo por arriba y todas las casitas enmarcandolo por abajo. Es preciosa. Un cordial saludo

Con la firma de la casa el juego de luces y sombras ha quedado de cine. El cielo muy bonito como siempre. Parece que la toma ha sido en B&W, tambien me gustaria verla en color.

Otra foto magnifica. Los excelentes tonos en B&N y la luz con este cielo tan espectacular le da una fuerza increible. Me encanta, pero no puedo darle los ratings que se merece por las reglas estupidas de este sitio.

No creo que en color tuviera la calidad de esta en BN, aunque todo es posible en Almeria. La Chanca Y Perez Siquier deberian figurar en todos los libros de Arte y de Historia. Las casitas blancas o el blanco de las casitas una maravilla.

Fenomenal imagen en BN, me gusta mas que imaginarmela en color. Me encanta la luz iluminando las casas en primer plano al pie del castillo.

7/7, pero no me deja x no se que historias de los ultimos 14 dias

Una pasada de castillo (ahora MUY alto en mi lista de sitios-a-donde-ir) y una foto impactante (perfecto uso y eleccion de blanco y negro)

Chapeau (spelling?)

El spelling de "Chapeau", perfecto, Jeff.

Y, sin duda, Almería es mágica. Te alojas en un hotelito delicioso en San José, el Hotel Alcazar, cuyo encargado, Pepe, es un enamorado del flamenco y de la poesía, y a disfrutar de paisajes increibles muchos de los cuales los conoces por mis fotos.

A terrific image. with a sky full of drama and the shadowed castle It's like something sinister is going to happen!

The diagonal sky swing brings a lot of tention ( Good drama) to the whole.

Nice is how the dark castle dominates the lighted houses which are encircling it. very nice composition and strong mood Alberto.

Nice landscape but I don't know what to think about the fact that the castel is dark and the houses around it are bright. Perhaps I would like that the castle was brighter.

Answering Henry, I only can say that castles meant two main things and both were ominous:

One, in the beginning they were the most powerful weapon. Warfare. Threat. Menace.

Second, later on, they were the residence of the feudal lord. And feudalism was based on extracting the wealth from the populations below to pay for the fasts of the privileged up there.

That's why, IMHO, this is a valid way of depicting this ominous interpretation of their reality.

Es preciosisima, Alberto. Para quedarse mirandola un buen rato. No s頣omo seria en color, pero el b&w le favorece muchisimo. Me encanta!

Superb B&W, well composed as always ;-) The light was perfect, dramatic and ominous, and your choice of camera point well made. No nitpicks from me
