Hola amiga,
Pues me gusta mucho ese color tan blanco de esta iglesia y en contraste con esas vidrieras azules, encuadre genial es curiosa tu foto WS de los fosiles y la otra de las casas parece de juguete jeje genial perspectiva, ese castillo que se ve a la izquierda tiene que ser muy interesante subirlo, siempre hay vistas espectaculares desde los castillo, o esta en ruinas?.. una parroquia muy bonita con las campanas, cuando vemos las catedrales tan grandes me parecen preciosas, pero las iglesias de los pueblos también tienen su encanto y para captar en una foto como la tuya, felicidades..
P.D. Ya me decidí por mi foto numero 100 ya la publique a ver que te parece :)
Un beso,
Elena

Hola Charo,
first - not to be forgotten - thanks for the interesting and good workshop additions. The fossils are great and the mill in the rocky environment is also nice. Here is the white and blue combined by a good view up for strong contrasts. Well done in hot light close to noon.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

a difficult task to obtain proper exposition whith such a big strongly lighted white surface like the church here - but your camera mastered its job perfectly! The result is very good in every details, also the effect of the polfilter is excellent.
