I like it too.
As Ryan asked, I also wish you could give some explanations.

Thanks for your comments.
It is a HDR image obtained from a raw file.
The scene was very contrasted, so I obtained various images with diferent expositions to give detail in lights and shadows. I mixed them increasing micro contrast and I got it.

Exelent HDR. My congratulations with feature ;)

I'm gonna be different here. I still cannot get myself to like these "obvious" HDR images. I have seen some very tasteful stuff done with HDR, but this to me just looks bizarre! Sorry, but honest...

I am not a big fan of HDR either but I have to say this one is really nice, wonderful sky colour and the garden is exposed perfectly, great job!

Thanks all again for your comments.
I'm trying to use HDR more subtlely, just to get some details and improve colors. For your comments, I think I'm on the way.
Sí, Ana, es Granada. Se trata del Patio de la Acequia, en el Generalife (Alhambra). Es curioso, no me había fijado en las ramas y me lo ha dicho bastante gente. Tomo nota :)
Beamer, great to see you again. I've noticed the tilting but I think it's more a combitation of tilting, lens aberration and perspective, since I can't make it look 100% straight.

really well done architecture shot. your hdr-processing works well done!

The sky reminds me of a really bad dream I had last year. Everything else seems flat.
My guess is the tilt is because the camera was not level. If you were going for the nightmare effect the tilt helps.

Thanks for all your comments.
Beamer, the focus of the image is not the castle, it's the place itself. This is a place from where you can see the Alhambra (the castle) and many diferent people come to see the view. Some play music, some sell rings or anything handmade... It's an interesting place to see very diferent people. That's what I wanted to tell with the photo.
Beamer (Clyde Beamer) added a critique 9 months ago:
@Javier, well with that motive, I still don't think you achieved success. The people are not doing any of those things. They appear to just be sitting or standing around and one guy taking a picture. I still think the composition is weak and cluttered, not really guiding your eye to anything in particular. The centered horizon pulls down any interest, the foreground still fights for attention without delivering any of your motive.
Sorry if this disappoints, but it is my honest critique.

this picture is interesting, i'm not sure HDR was necessary here but surely it makez the shot very different. Quite unreal, i'm not sure i like but i can not stop looking at it.
whatever, the colour are wonderfull

Beamer, I accept your critique. I just explained what I wanted to say with the photo. Your comment doesn't disappoints me. It will help me to take a better photo next time.
Thanks :)

I love how the people look in this shot, the only distraction I see is the darkening of the sky between to two trees.

Realmente debe ser difícil desde un avión...Me gustan los colores pero creo que había demasiada luz.
Saludos

Si está tomada desde un avión, como dice Ana, la verdad es que es una toma muy lograda. Sin embargo,coincido con ellaen que quizás las condiciones de luz no eran las más adecuadas y el espacio tampoco daba para hacer alardes de composición.
Saludos
