The Castle!

hi, this was one of my first HDR photos some time ago.

 

The colors are quite the originals after merged into photomatix and even they seemed to me a little unnatural, i loved the feeling they gave to this photo and so i didn't change that.

 

I had already posted this shot some months ago, but i thought it lacked a little of sharpening and so here its goes this new version.

 

About this Castle:

Its one of the main attractions in Santa Maria da Feira, Portugal, and because of this castle, one time per year they make a popular medieval fair in this place.

 

This medieval fair has been growing since then and had two effects:

 

-One, its a well organized event and very professional, but you just can't pass near Santa Maria da Feira in this season because the traffic is a headache.

 

- Second, because it became very popular, it had an epidermal effect across the country and now you can see a lot of medieval fairs not so good and not that professional in many other places.

 

You can see more information in Wikipedia about this Castle.
