Great shot! I like the way the image goes from black/shadow to grey to white/light. Composition is very good. I like how you used that one arch as a frame for the area hit by sunlight. Clarity, contrast and sharpness are awesome.

Luis, I've been discovering that one all the photographic elements are present--composition, exposure, well lit, the photo is then freed to find a wider place in the imagination. I am now in Spain, Grenada, to be exact, hearing flamenco music and smelling something delicious being cooked with olive oil. And it isn't rainy and cold.
