Great perspective and presentation. Warm regards.

so warm

Nicely exposed, composed and presented!

It might be worth your efforts to try adjusting the contrast and levels a bit to avoid the loss of detail in the highlights.

Example of a quick re-work attached.

Thanks Dave, I like the changes your have made. Do you remember the details of the adjustments.

I did it very quickly and did not note any specifics. I use Corel PSP Photo X2. I used auto contrast, clarify, fill flash and levels as I recall. Just hit the OK button or fooled with the slider until I got what I was looking for.

Not much help I'm afraid...

Old forts and castles.....I'd love to discover them all. Your excellent photo here is one that is an invitation for exploraton. Thankyou!

Beautiful composition and lovely place!

 

All the best, Cristina V.

Great perspective, wonderful shot!

All the best
